Motivation

This weeks not been a good one for me, it started well.

But like the weather my motivation to exercise has plumetted.  I'm sat looking out my living room window at the pouring rain.  Now instead of writing my blog I should really be doing either house work or I could do 30 mins on the Rowing Machine I brought before my wedding which has sat in the spare room not used since.  But I'm not I'm sat here typing about something I'm calling lack of motivation but really I'm being lazy.

Firstly, I'm not a top level rider so why do I need to excersise:

A) I'm overweight, I've not got the self control to stop eating the food I love so  I need to burn off the calories or get fatter.

B) I want to get better and having strength is a critical part of improving.

C) It's good for me and I do love the feeling of achievement after I've done something.

So how am I going to motivate myself

Writing this blog is part of it, not just this post but the whole blog.  If I write a blog that the whole web can read saying I'm going to do something then really I've got to do it or suffer WWW humiliation.

I also find I need a challenge to keep me focused, so entering races is a good way to put the pressure on me. 

These all work in the bigger pictures but at this point in time I'm still typing and not doing anything.   So I'm off to the bedroom to drag the rowing machine into the living room and while Neighbours is on I'm going to have a go at multi tasking.
