Thoughts that went through my mind this afternoon: A glimpse into Jenni’s mind
💭 I really don’t want to work out.
💭 I know I will feel better if I do.
💭 All of my current health accountability group members are going to do their workout. I need to show up for them.
💭 But I’m really tired. I’ve done several days of double workouts.
💭 This is just your MS playing tricks on you. It’s not that you CAN’T workout, you just don’t WANT to. There’s a difference.
💭 I need some motivation. If I post it on FB, then I’ll have to hold myself accountable and actually do it.
💭 Maybe no one will notice I posted, and it will be a sign that I don’t actually have to do my workout today.
💭 Quit being a baby, and just do it!
💭 Oh man, everyone is cheering me on on FB. Now I need to do it.
💭 Okay, I’ll just start it, and go for 10 mins. If I want to quit after 10 mins, I give myself permission to stop with no guilt.
💭 Okay, this isn’t as bad as I thought it was going to be.
💭 Hey, I actually am feeling pretty strong.
💭 Oh wow, I’m already past the 10 mins. I guess I can keep going.
💭 Oh wait, this is getting harder to keep up. Maybe I should stop.
💭 There’s only 10 min left now, I might as well finish.
💭 (Just when I wanted to give up, Keenan grabs his mat and joins me). Oh, now I can’t stop, I need to set a good example for Keenan.
💭 I MADE IT!!!
💭 Wow, that wasn’t near as bad as I thought it was going to be.
💭 I’m so glad I did that.
And it helped to know that 5500+ people from all over world were also working out with me at the same exact time.
P.S. Thank you to everyone who cheered me on via FaceBook!!! It really did make a difference.
