its now 20 past 7 pm. i just sat down from chopping and marinating my beef for the beef with broccoli dinner, were having tonight.
filled the washing machine with my whites for work and cleared up the kitchen after all the chopping and mixing.
sat down and realised the time. it's gym time.
i wish i could sit around longer. i wish i dont have to go to the gym.
but then i realised i wanted to eat the lovely meal waiting for me tonight.
i want to continue enjoy eating the food i love.
so yes, grudgingly, i will walk up the stairs to change in my gym clothes, get out to the windy chilly night and drive off to the gym in the dark.
but i know, after an hour and a half, i'd feel much much better,and much happier for having given up 1 hour and half of my 'facebook time' to equalize the food i am jus about to enjoy tonight.

do u get moments like these too? like me, i argue and weigh with my own self why i don't want to, but why i had to go to the gym.
everytime i argue this is not about the weight, but this is about living healthier, then i actually listen to my reason more.

i am glad my 'good' self seems to be winning the past few months.
sige na! gym nata!

Chel, I have moments like this ALL THE TIME! Sometimes, I give in and sit around longer or tell myself I'll go a bit later and end up not going at all. I admire your discipline. I wish I had it. Now, I incorporate gym time and TV time. I use my favorite recorded shows as a motivation to exercise. I watch the shows while on the elliptical and before I know it, 30 minutes of cardio has gone by. I hope I can keep up.
I really admire your self-discipline, Chel. And I've been very inspired. It's difficult to go out there and exercise my butt off, but you are right, it feels good after, everytime. That's what I remember - that lovely feeling after an hour of exercise - when I feel not going. :)
I am always like that! Even if the gym is just downstairs! I prefer to linger in bed or in front of my pc. May be I should start going again too...
