Today was day 9 of my 90 day challenge and I have consistently talked myself out of getting out of bed in the morning to do my workout in favour of doing it when I get home. Well it is 11:50 and I just finished it...so I procrastinated till the last hour but I am proud to say that I did it. Today was CardioX and it felt really good to work my lungs and heart.

So even though I spent the day procrastinating I felt compelled to complete my goal of doing my workout. I had an interesting conversation today with a friend about developing and commiting to schedules and how it is hard sometimes as an Entrepreneur or self-employed and directed person to hold yourself accountable to what you know you need to be doing.

It is kinda like my workout. I benefit in the end if I do it and I am the only one that is impacted if I don't. But somehow it takes all of my willpower to do it. It is not that I don't honor and respect myself or that I don't really really want to be lean and fit. It is because it is not a habit for me yet and until it becomes a habit it will require willpower and effort. But as I work through my 90 days I will begin to integrate this new habit into what is called the subconscious part of my brain that controls all of my bodily functions like my blood pumping or my body temperature. My body does this without any conscious effort on my part because it is being controlled my subconscious.

I think for my friend sticking to a schedule is a habit like anything else and I would suggest creating a sense of accountability to someone else for the first 28 or so days will help them to stay on track.

Goodnight friends,

MaryC
