This morning I had every intention of running on my elliptical. I dressed in my workout gear. Strapped on my shoes and fueled my body. But, upon return from helping my kiddos on the bus, I stopped at the coffee pot. I poured myself a second cup and sat in my writer's chair.
The minutes ticked off the clock. But, as I gazed at my watch, I kept telling myself "just five more minutes". I still had plenty of time to knock out a 20-minute run, hit the shower, and make a meeting at my local Panera.
As I lingered in my writer's chair, I checked Facebook and e-mail. I noted LOFT was offering an extra 50-percent off on already-reduced merchandise I didn't need. But, I still had to check out the deals. Those precious 20 minutes disappeared at warp-speed.
So, I decided to write a quick post about procrastination. Read it and tell me your tricks for sticking to a fitness program. I had one Facebook friend who gave me idea for sticking with a regular, aggressive fitness program. She suggested keeping a log of my workouts; and that for every 25 I complete I get to purchase something special for myself.
