Apparently, when we talk to ourselves this way ("I should be ... but I don't"), it does not help us to actually do what we think we should be doing. Michelle Segar does a lot of research, speaking and writing in this area. I recommend these two books of hers: Michelle Segar PhD. – Audio Books, Best Sellers, Author Bio | Audible.com

Thank you for asking! I did 50 minutes total on the treadmill. 30 minutes steady state cardio at 2.6 mph plus 10 minutes each of warmup and cooldown. I was wearing jeans. I did not feel like changing into leggings because it is now so cold outside. So I decided that walking in jeans is better than not walking at all. I did the same thing yesterday and also walked for 30 minutes at 2.6 mph.

I was really happy to walk into the dark gym which confirmed that the treadmill was for me to us. Two days ago I wanted to do cardio but did not because all the machines were occupied.

Tomorrow will be another day.
