So here's the thing. I want to work out on a regular basis. I feel sort of vaguely lethargic and unhealthy all the time and I drink too much coffee. I want to have natural energy and I want to be proud of how I look.
But I have NINE MILLION EXCUSES.
The two main ones are:
1. I value my intelligence and I always believed that if you were smart you couldn't be beautiful. Obviously this is not true, but I still think it is true for ME.
2. I do not this is is possible for me to be ACTUALLY thin/in good shape. I was a tiny bit chubby the day I was born, I was a tiny bit chubby in elementary school and high school, I was a bit chubby in college, and I am a tiny bit chubby now. So I have never experienced being thin/in shape, and although I have never actually tried for any significant length of time, I do not believe it is possible for me to be at a healthy-feeling weight.
So, the question is, how do I get over that? I have a gym membership, but I don't ever go.
David gave me this whole motivational speech on how life is a marathon and I need to think about my future, but I am too impatient for that way of thinking.
I am thinking about a reward system for a while, to get me going. Hey, reward systems helped me write my final papers in college so I could pass junior year.
So the question is: what are good rewards? Not food, not too expensive, and something worth trying for. I figure, if I go to the gym every day for a week, I should get one thing.
