The hardest part with all things, or at least in my opinion, is to get started. Your brain does this funny thing where it starts to give you TMI (too much information) about the process you will be starting; the tediousness, the absurdity of it all, until finally, you are talked out of doing anything by your worst enemy; yourself. Going to the gym is not a hard task in itself, but rather, actually going there is the real odyssey.Getting in your car and driving is the hardest part, once youre actually there you realize its not that bad. I am no expert in the science and psychology of habits and starting new habits, but I have read enough to be pretentious around other people about the subject. And I have come to the following conclusions; I am my worst enemy, I need to establish new behaviors through repetition, and I need to do it for about 21 days for it to actually stick. So my fitness goal will revolve around this. I wish I could set up a cool goal like lifting 300 lbs by a certain date, or running with the lions by christmass, or having a 13 pack. But nope. My fitness goal revolves around consistency and discipline. My karate sensei always yelled at me for lacking discipline, so I guess I should work on it. In the words of my sensei, (and please imagine a thick Japanese accent while reading this) "You very talented person. But no discipline, discipline IMPORTANT!! You have European wife, Russian gurl strong, she leave you if you don't have discipline!". So there you have it, I need to build consistency because the talent is there, but I lack commitment. So my goal will revolve around 30 days, all documented here about establishing a new habit. It wont be any crazy workouts or nothing of the sort, simply... showing up. Next time I log on I plan on posting my weight and measurements so you can see for yourself what I fat ass I really am.
