Check Boxes

Today was a better day. I felt better all-around for a variety of reasons. I approached the workout with a more positive attitude. It's amazing all the things you need to do in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle. You need to fit in your workouts, plan realistically when you'll do it and stick to that schedule. It's also necessary to plan meals. I feel like I have a series of tasks to do once I get home and I know in the past that I eventually rebel against these tasks. They are little check boxes dangling over my head. The most powerful check box though that is keeping me motivated is the one on the Insanity Poster that I check every time I do a workout. It's funny how it's the little things that keep you in check. Sticky notes, a blog, and a check box on a poster are what's motivating me right now. I'm thankful for these boxes because week 2 is when I tend to lose steam and give up because results don't ever happen as quickly as I'd prefer. I focus on the scale too much and that is my weakness...so I'm sure I'll still focus too much on that but it's the check boxes that will keep me going...at least for now.
I felt like I got over the hump so to speak of reframing my attitude...at least for now. Tomorrow is a recovery day so that will be nice to be a bit more chill.
Day 10-Yay!
