I don't want to!!!

This morning I just didn't want to work out. I didn't. Not one teensey little bit. But, I have experience with this sort of thing. And, I have decided that I WILL work out. So, I have some tips, that I will share with you.

1. Lay out your workout clothes where you will see them when you wake up, before you go to bed. Now I work out in my house; before anyone is awake so I don't wear a bra, so I just go to sleep in my workout clothes, a pair of shorts and a baggy shirt.

2. I put the dvd in the player. My bed is in the living room.

3. First thing in the morning, when my alarm goes off, I turn on the tv and the dvd player. The dvd already being in the player makes that annoying music that they loop at the begining splash screen. Then that makes me crazy until I do something about it.

4. I put my pedometer in the pocket of my shorts. I have the Omron HJ-112 that can be worn in almost any position (in a pocket, sideways clipped to a belt loop, upright clipped to a pocket) and it is MOST awesome! I have had it since July and it is very accurate and takes a pretty decent beating! So anyways I feel like I have done something already because getting up to go pee in the night gives you steps ;) LOL

5. I lay out my date book on the table where I will see it when I wake up first thing in the AM. This may seem silly, but I put a gold star and a number in each day when I worked out. So if I did a 2 mile video I would put a star and a 2. Well... there is just something about seeing that long string of stars and 3's that I can't break it ;)

So I worked out this morning. It was awesome. I feel great. Except for a cramp in my hip (need a good hip flexor stretch, google is my friend.) In this video Leslie Sansone says "you are never going to say after a workout, 'boy am I sorry I did that'". I agree. Working out is AWESOME!
