As I have traveled on this journey, I have found times when I really didn't want to be bothered with exercising. For me it is when it is cold outside. I really hate the cold! It was never my favorite time of year, but after you get frost bite it becomes your least favorite.
Often it took everything I had to make me get up and move. Once I was into my exercise it was great, but just getting started on days like that is the worst. But those days are also the most rewarding.
Something about breaking a sweat when you really didn't want to move makes it seem so much more meaningful. I am free to let my mind wander during my work out on those days and I have such a sense of accomplishment when I finish.
It is those little victories of just getting up and moving when I wanted to stay still that give me the motivation to continue towards my goal.
Always remember, only you are holding you back.
