I can't lie, I don't always enjoy going to the gym. Its not always fun - its 5 pm, I'm hungry, cranky and tired. All I want to do is go home, eat dinner and go to bed. And, I've done this before in the past and it immediately gets me out of my routine and causes me to make bad choices when it comes to food. I think everyone knows the feeling I'm describing - you just don't think you have any energy to move one ounce of your body in spin class or the thought of the treadmill just makes you sick.
But you know what? That's when you have to "discipline your dedication" and just go. To me, the feeling of guilty and grossness of not working out is a whole lot worse than an excuse of being tired. I know if I just suck it up and go- even for just 20 minutes, not only will I feel better, I bet I find the energy to get through the rest of my work out.
You have to give yourself your own tough love. Don't let any excuses come in your way of getting healthy. There is no reason why you can't find 30 minutes to just walk- no matter how you feel. Even if you have to go at lunch- if you work out, you will feel better.
As I told my best friend Beth, sometimes you just have to get out of your own way. So, in my opinion, suck it up and give yourself tough love. There is not a single excuse good enough for me about skipping a work out (ok - maybe if you are on your death bed or extremely sick- but you get my point :) ).
So, get out of your own way and get going. No excuses!!!
