I have attempted to enlist friends and my fiance but the fact is that no one is consistent. People flake and then i flake on myself. its a plan for disaster.
I have utilized every excuse in the book to rationalize my not getting up and going to the gym, however i know that later that day I will be hating myself because I feel like crap. I might be a little sore after the gym but I never regret going. On the other hand I do regret not going to the gym.
I have been doing good to not get fast food, however my fiance and I still go out to dinner with friends and I can't say that I always get the best selections.
The irony comes in with the fact that I am a Social Worker and counsel others on a variety of issues. Goal setting being one of them and now I myself am having such a difficulty with it. The only upside is that I have a great understanding now with the struggle that goes into really making a change in your life.
so my plan from here?
- change my alarm sound so I actually wake up
- when I do wake up I get up (I usually need to pee anyway)
- I get up I stay up
- While I am up I might as well put my shoes on
- I then might as well spend some sort of time at the gym.
- I enlist further assistance from friends
- I keep a record in my calendar and plan as a part of my day
- When I fail to go in the morning I still have an opportunity to go in the evening
- Plan my meals for the next day including snacks and drinks
- go to bed early
- don't eat late at night
I will start with that and try and go on from there.
I have also taken to change my passwords to motivating phrases and I am considering other tactics like using motivating pictures and saying scattered around my environment.
