"It's all about what you do when you don't feel like doing it that makes you amazing"

For the most part I would say I really enjoy going to the gym and working out.     I love the feeling of getting stronger, pushing my weights up, passing over a benchmark and I definitely love how I feel after I'm done!   

But then there's those other times....like today.

My "want to" was NOWHERE to be found.   It took a vacation and left me with a huge case of the procrastination-whiney-pity party-blahs.     It's these days when I will find every possible task to do prior to going to the gym....every errand that must be done, I will find every ache in my body to think about.....I will ponder allllllll the weight I've yet to lose.....I would watch paint dry if I thought it needed watching.

Don't get me wrong, I eventually wind up at the gym - like I did today.    Of course, I will sit in the parking lot and text everyone I know, check Facebook, tweet about my breakfast, play my turn on Words and make sure my backpack is in order.     I finally come up against the realization that 

I must just do it.

Nobody is going to do this for me......it's all me.     And sometimes, that feeling just STINKS.     And at this moment, I have a choice.    Today, I chose right.    I did my workout, I did my cardio.   I sweat, I pushed.    

Sometimes, I don't choose right - but today I did.     YAY!

Is there an area in your life where your "want to" isn't working?   What do you do find yourself doing in those moments?    I would love to hear your feedback.....
