    Girls!!

    What do you do on days when you just don't want to workout but at the back of your head a voice keeps popping up saying 'do itttt else ur gonna regret it and if u don't all ur efforts till date will go down the drain'
    Am having one of those days today againnn...
    So what do u do to just do it despite the dreadful thought of all the pains during a workout...

    Pick one person who actively works out and posts actively here on IL.. Compete with them mentally.. And when they post their daily progress and if you still hadn't done any workout, at least frm embarrassment you'll get up and do something! That's what I've been doing these days.. Even today was one such day for me.. I finally did a 45 minute workout after seeing my mental partners post.. :)

    That's just what I do..

    Health is top priority for me. Diet and exercise are the main factors contributing to health. These are non-negotiable for me.

    I read Shiva's blog esp this one Art of Non Negotiation - Blogs - IndusLadies

    Like we do not negotiate to skip food even a single day, we should follow the same for exercise.

    For me joining a group fitness class has helped - don't know why I feel accountable even when I don't know anyone in the class :-(

    going through such a hase ad coming back fro Walmart after getting annoyed at myself as my size 4 pants hug on to me tightly. Nowadays I eat a lot as well. I was in awesome fitness mode when this sudden feeling of complaisance crept up
