Drive what? Where?

So whatever you want to call it...motivation, drive...whatever...you all know we need it to get anywhere, not just in fitness but in life. I'm usually pretty driven to go to gym but this week has been an exception and I'm not entirely sure why. It's now Sunday and I only went to the gym twice this week. I was going to go a 3rd time this morning but...I dunno, it sounded really windy outside and leaving my bed just seemed like a really really bad idea. Thats right people, this morning I lacked the drive to go to gym *gasp*

Now I shouldn't beat myself up too much I mean I still did do 2 really great workouts this week. So what I need to ask myself is 'How will I make sure this wont happen again next week?'

Step 1: Look at pictures of Nick Beyeler

'marry me'

Step 2: Review this week

K let's see what factors played into my fitness downfall this week!

1. Spent too much time looking at pictures of Nick Beyeler online.

2. Took an aerobics class same day as workout and that exhausted me so I took an extra day off

3. Was feeling kinda sickly on thursday/friday

Step 3: Plan ahead!

Take a look at the week ahead. Decide if either the morning or evening works best for me. Do I have anything else besides work planned for the week? (I hope so, geez) Figure out which days I can go to the gym and which I cant. These days wont necessarily be the same every week (even though most people try to make it so they are) because stuff comes up all the time and when it does I need to adapt my gym schedule accordingly!

Step 4: Dont be lazy!

This isn't really a step actually it's a more of a command. I just have to push myself a little bit extra on days where I'm feeling less 'inclined' to go work out; but not beat myself up too much if I don't go to gym...you wont accomplish anything by making yourself feel like shit.

Come to think of it I think a weekly review of my gym activities could be interesting for a Sunday post...Ross' weekly review...yeeeah thats what I'll call it...wicked!
