We've all been there.
The alarm goes off in the morning and you smack it silent, wanting those few extra minutes of sleep and have zero desire to get up; put your workout gear on and head to the gym.
Or, you get home from work after a long day of meetings after meetings, and again, zero desire to go get any kind of workout done. Of course, right now, all those meetings were probably being done from the home office anyway.
This is where some accountability helps.
It's easy to let your workouts slide when there's no one looking over your shoulder or waiting for you to join them. And, it can take some time for that kind of accountabilty with yourself to kick into gear.
That's not weakness. It just another training experience: Training your body and mind to be accountable to yourself.
I am a coach. So I should be perfectly motivated about getting to the gym and training myself. And, for the majority of the time, I am.
But, there are those times where you hit a lull or need a change. Changing up my training location and finding a training partner who wanted to test out new workouts was apparently the 'change' I needed to shock my mind and my system.
Will it change again? Most likely. Just remember, keep your goal in mind. It's YOUR goal. No one else gets to choose it for you.
Where are you going to find your accountability? In yourself, a group, a partner or a coach? We'd love to know what's worked for you!
PS - Don't forget to reward yourself for all your hardwork! Just don't do it with food.
