Our New Goal

This week the hubs and I were suppose to start a heavy workout plan. Due to the weather on Monday, plans were cancelled. Excuses...excuses (I know). Yesterday when I got home from work, I asked him whether we were going and he tells me, "Babe, I think its better if we go to the gym in the morning. At night we hardly have time and if we go in the morning, we could go to the one close to work and you can get to work on time." I laughed. Of course, I would love to go to the gym in the morning. So yay to that! but what made me laugh was the...make it to work on time part. You see...I have a VERY bad habit of getting to work always about 10-15 sometimes even 20 minutes late. The gym he wants us to go to is right down the street, meaning if we get there at 5:30AM we could work out and leave by 7:30AM and I will for sure make it on time to work on time. I then told him, that I needed for him to update my Ipod and of course...he said he will work on it tonight. Ah..I love him so much! He is the BEST!!!

"There's a difference between interest and commitment. When you're interested in doing something, you do it only when it's convenient. When you're committed to something, you accept no excuses; only results." -Kenneth Blanchard

Sparkpeople Translation: "Are you interested in your goals, or are you fully committed? One of the most common complaints among goal setters nowadays is that there’s just not enough time to get to the ones that “really matter.” The real culprit is that most people don’t raise their goals beyond the level of general interest. They’re waiting for a vague time in the future when other things won’t get in the way or when they wrap things up. In other words, when it’s more convenient. And of course, that time never comes, does it? If your goals are truly that important to you, don’t let anything stand in your way. You have the power to say ‘no’ and to set your priorities. Make that commitment and you automatically create an obligation that you’re bound to fulfill. "

My new commitment is to wake up every single work day at 5AM to make it to the gym each morning and start working out. I will give updates on our progress.
