I wake up every morning and for 5 minutes I’m angry

Angry because I can’t motivate myself to get healthier. Why is it so hard? I know I want it. I know I need it. but for some reason after those initial first 5 minutes, I just stop caring. You shouldn’t have to completely let yourself go for you to get motivated to get healthier. I’m a member of xsport, which I live a mere mile from. I can walk there any time. but I don’t. Why does working out have to be convenient for us to want to do it? Why am I so lazy? Why is it so hard to eat healthy? Why are salads more expensive than everything else? It’s mind blowing. my personal frustration is immeasurable. 

New Fitness Plan

since the old one has failed. 

  • workout no less than 4 times a week, before noon.
  • pace myself so I don’t feel like I’m always tired, also going in the morning as opposed to the night should help. 
  • walking to and from the gym will add exercise and be a good cool down (about a mile) 
  • well rounded workout: cardio, lifting, and sports (primarily, basketball). 
  • drink more water and less pop, soda, coke whatever you call depending on your region of origin. 
  • If this fails, may consider hiring personal trainer 

really considering sacrificing leisure events this winter in favor of a gym membership.

I know I can look better than this: I’ve looked better than this recently. I know I can be happy in my own skin. It’s not as far fetched a thought as I might think. I want to be healthy and happy.
