The one category that is hard for me to consistently do, though, is the 40 minute exercise requirement, especially after returning home from a long day. With my days typically starting at the latest by 5 am, it takes a lot of coaxing after a long day to convince myself I need to change and head out the door for a run.... At those times, even a point is not THAT much motivation. So I want to give a shout out to my endearing, though many times, obnoxious dog, who gets me out of the door when the tally of "one more point" doesn't do the job. Because while I can rationalize the loss of a point, I cannot rationalize the whimper of a lil' puppy just wanting some human attention and a good romp outside of HER backyard home.
So, ladies and gents, what is your motivation when the little red devil on your shoulder whispers you don't need this one point?
I agree with you about the 40 minute workout being the hardest point. It's easiest when I do it in the morning (luckily my day starts like 4 or 5 hours after yours) but that rarely happens. I figure I have the whole day to fit it in, why do it now? By the time the kids are in bed I have NO energy and no desire to work out. What makes me do it is my 100% streak. I don't want to break it by choice. Plus I need every point I can get since I haven't lost any weight:( Once the streak is over I'm going to have to come up with new motivation. Unfortunately my dog won't do it. We crushed her hopes and dreams of a walk every day just about 3 years ago when E was born. Poor Duchess.
