How Working-Out is like Doing the Dishes....

You know that feeling... as you look at your sink and it's piled up with dishes... to full to even fill up a water bottle with water...plates, cutting board, and lunch bowls sitting on the counter-top because there is not enough room in the sink. The feeling that you can't really get away from and no one else will take care of it. You don't want to do it, but you have to do it. Well my friends... that, right now is the feeling I have about working out tonight. :)

As I just finished doing the dishes... I thought... wow... this is so much like working out. Does that sound morbid? I don't feel like working out today. It's 10:32 at night. But, then the reality sunk in... the choice of this decision, the beginning of a bad habit. What are the consequences of not working out? Well, not working out.... leads to being overweight, obecity... overweight and obecity are some of the main causing factors in most major diseases... heart disease, diabetes, many cancers.... early death, not enjoying my future children to the fullest.... being self conscience of how I look, feel.... clothes fitting too tight.... affecting my self-image....
Can I afford NOT to do the dishes? Can I afford NOT to work out? OK... it does all sound a bit morbid.... but, it did make me talk myself into working out.

I'm getting ready to workout tonight. I'm not necessarily excited about it... I don't feel like it... and it's a bit to cold to go outside... and though we have a gym across the street, I just don't like the steril environment of being in a gym..... so, I'm going to workout IN MY APARTMENT! Not my favorite, but I'll do it. I'll put on some fast music for my "4" minutes of cardio (actually I'm doing 2 sets of 4321, so it will be "8" minutes"), I'm going to do "Fast-Feet" ... you know, the football player "fast-feet". I don't really enjoy those because when you really go hard, man, you can feel your legs burn!!! 30 seconds on, 30 second recovery for 8 minutes. Then.... I'll finish 332211. :)

So... I hope I wasn't just too "transparent". But, I've realized that I don't always have to "Like" working out, I just have to do it. Isn't that what Jake Baker recently said on one of his last CD's?? That's what, I think Campbell told him about reading... "Jake, You don't have to like reading, you just have to do it!"

So... I'm going to go change and GET THIS DONE! :)

Love ya'll! Have a great day!!
