My own worst enemy

Ok so here it is Monday night and I weigh in Wednesday (don't have to work the group now so my regular weigh in is back on). I set myself the goal of packing my lunch the night before and hitting the gym twice this week before my next weigh in. Well I did pack my lunch the night before work each day so far, still have to pack tomorrow's lunch. (which I will be doing when I finish this blog) But I have put off the gym all week, granted I knew it would not happen on Sat or Sun cause I work too hard those days to even think about the gym much less to actually go. I still had all day Wed. Thur. Fri & today. The great thing about being stubborn is when you put your mind to something you will get it done, the problem is when you end up with the little proverbial devil on one shoulder and angel on the other and they are both stubborn. Then you just end up with procrastination. I tried all day to talk myself out of it, knowing that I was going to do it. I haven't worked this hard to not do something simple as go to the gym twice in a week. So I finally went to the gym at 9:45pm...lol. Oh well at least I went. I guess I really just hate working out alone...it's so damn boring. I did go by myself a new MP3 player today, found a 2gb on sale for $30, even has cute little color covers you can change out. So after I pack my lunch I will be uploading some music for tomorrow's workout.My angel has pretty much already told my devil that we are not having this conversation tomorrow that we are just gonna suck it up and get it done. : ) I have 2 people that have agreed to start working out with me after next week. We will see how that goes. Hopefully that will happen but I have had a few people saying that for awhile and have decided to quit using not having someone else as an excuse and just get to it myself. Ok that's all for now just had to vent about my fun little self conflict. Thank God it all occurs in my head and not out loud or people might think I was a little crazy...lol. Have a great day...see ya next weigh in.
