Motivation

I am lazy.  There are times when I would really rather sit on the couch than go to the gym.  But when I am home after work on days that I don't feel like going to the gym, I get anxiety about cheesing out on training for this 1/2 Ironman.  It's similar to the feeling you used to get when you'd cut class.  You knew you shouldn't do it, but it just felt good doing it, but you knew when you went back, there'd be some repercussions. 

I think it's the same with the gym.  Wednesday are usually my off days, but I have been going to Pilates on Wednesday & then not really going to the gym on Thursdays or Fridays.  That's bad.  I need to stick to a 5 day workout plan.  This Saturday I went to DMV to have my license renewed.  That was my excuse for not working out.  It's not really an excuse either, but see, there's the lazy part of me - something like going to DMV will curtail my workout schedule.

I need to find motivation again, but it's hard because winter is almost here & it's easy to go home & get into comfy clothes & veg out in front of the TV.  Last year I had my sister's wedding to motivate me to keep going to the gym....now I'm just going to have to stick to New Hampshire as my motivation.  Too bad we didn't sign up for the St. Croix 70.3, I think I'd be more motivated to go there.    :)
