Working Out

So the weird thing is I my entire life hated working out, I have never played sports nor did I ever want to.

My husband makes fun of me because he has pointed out I cannot do anything for more than a few hours without requiring a nap or "downtime" as I like to call it. I actually say "IM DONE". Like if I take the girls to the Zoo, Sea World or the Children's Museum for 2-4 hours I get home and immediately announce to anyone who will listen "I AM DONE". then I go lay down. This amuses my husband to no end as I expect him to work 9-10 hour days and return home to then play with the girls for another hour while I "assemble dinner".*** Then I expect him to help in bedtime rituals too! Poor guy.

So back to working out. I have a serious lack of inertia.

So we ALL KNOW no one feels like working out.

You don't want to....but once you get dressed for the workout, get you ass to the gym....get on the machines you are starting to feel pretty good and by the time you are done you are proud and glad!

We do this again, again and again.

So WHY doesn't my mind eventually GET IT?

Why doesn't my mind eventually get the positive reinforcement? When I think of working out why don't I immediately get excited and happy? After all the times I go and feel GOOD AFTER, shouldn't I get the message?

Why does my head continually tell me NO DONT GO WORKOUT WE ARE TOO TIRED THIS SOUNDS LIKE A BAD IDEA GO LAY DOWN?????????????????

So, you and I get up in the morning saying to ourselves in a depressed sort of voice, "ok, I am going to workout today because I need to and I will feel better after I do..." yet our heads say this back "no, you don't have time you are too tired you don't need to you can do it tomorrow, just don't eat today instead....." WE ARE CRAZY

wtf
