Gotta get going now

It takes momentum to gain momentum. Where does that initial momentum come from? From somewhere deep within. I have a goal in mind really, My goal is to get down to 250 lbs. before I turn 40 years old. I'm 38 years and 1 month right now. Now that I've stated that I need to make it to the gym 3 times this week, well then I better do so. It's hard though to actually get there sometimes because I need to get my momentum back.

Let me just list some of the reasons I can think of for not going to the gym and doing Workout "A". 1) Playoff Basketball is going on right now; 2) My knee is sore; 3) I'm metally tired from work; 4) I don't enjoy a crowded gym too much; 5) I feel lazy after work and unmotivated; 6) I feel insecure with my body image and I feel grossly overweight; and 7) I have an overwhelming and compulsive desire to stay home and try to make myself feel better by eating more food than I need and drinking alcohol.

OK, that was exciting....Now here are some reasons for going: 1) I'm fat and I want to feel better about myself 2) The gym has weightlifting equipment that can help me lose weight by gaining muscles 3) It's a heart-smart thing to work up a good sweat everyday; 4) I do feel better after a good workout; 5) I stay strong so I can do the things I want to do; 6) It's the only realistic way I can achieve my dreams; and 7) It will greatly improve my chances for success in my career and my life.

I think I'm just about ready to go now. It's 8pm and I have a 9 pm appointment with a crunch machine. So I'll catch you all on the flip side.
