So I've been doing this online dating thing for about a week again. The guys that catch my eye are the ones that are in good shape, or at least haven't developed a severe case of beer-gut tailgate-itis.
Unfortunately, they all want someone who's also fit or athletic. I don't blame them one bit. I sure don't want a couch potato. I at least want someone who's willing to be a workout buddy. I'm not going to attract Mr. Fit and/or Athletic if I can't keep up or look like I've been sitting on the couch downing Blizzards on a regular basis.
However, in the meantime, I need to get my butt back in gear and using the trampoline and doing The Bar Method. They both give quick results if I'm dedicated about exercising regularly, but I've never used them in combination, so I'm guessing using them simultaneously is going to give me awesome results.
I always come up with an excuse to not work out.
It's too late, I might not sleep well. (I don't sleep well anyway, so that excuse is totally bogus).
I need to keep working (I waste way more than 45-60 minutes every day by surfing the web when I should be working).
I don't see quick enough results (I'm not going to see any results if I don't start in the first place).
I'm not in good enough shape to work out. (WTF is that one all about)?
There are more, but I can't think of them at the moment.
What are some good strategies to get me motivated (actually, I have the motivation, it's the actual getting going part that I'm having problems with)?
How do others in this situation bring themselves to just do it instead of procrastinating? I know I feel better after I work out, physically and mentally, so I don't understand why I'm not more consistent with it.
