I found this funny graphic the other day and I felt like it was downloaded straight from my current mindset.
Anyone else? Hands held high?
This winter has been so flippin hard and I've hated going to the gym. Being the super-athletic sportswoman - spot the scarcasm- that I am, you'd not thing you'd hear me say things like that but oh.my.goodness. I have hated these past few months. I had a friend ask me the other day "Don't you hate getting out of bed that early to go to the gym every day? " Well actually. Yes. I do.
Anyway, this morning I sat in the car for 10 minutes listening to the radio before I went into the gym. You can imagine the battle going on in my mind. I finally relented and wandered in, kicked some ass with the weights and left.
On my return home I got a text from my gym. "Congratulations on your 400th visit to the gym this morning, keep up the amazing work".
And then the day today has been warm. I slept on the floor in the sun. I got too hot. I started to remember summer. And dread the shorts, perhaps.
And then I looked up and saw this layout above my desk. And I remembered why I do it in the first place. Essentially if I didn't like the gym, or perhaps just the results from going to the gym, I wouldn't be going. Never let it be said that it's easy or that I always like it. I guess it comes down to it being something I can do compleetly for myself. And that's kinda cool. Even at 5.30am.

Love the cartoon.
Oh, and the layout!
:D
