I always have a million things I could/should be doing.
I took yesterday and today off from work to spend with Ben, Will, and Sam because they’re all off for the week.
Every single day I know that I’m going to work out. It’s not a could/should. I know I’m going to do it. I rarely even have a thought that maybe I won’t or don’t want to. I enjoy it and I want to workout even when I’m tired.
Almost everything else is optional.
Since September 27th, eating clean and correctly (for my goals) has also become something I just do. But, unlike workouts, I still think about eating bad food (and a lot of it) all the time.
When I go to work I take with me exactly what I’m going to eat for the day. Then I get home and go to the gym. We have a pretty tight weekend routine as well.
Yesterday and today have been a little more difficult. I keep thinking of food. And then I’m like, “Go clean out the pantry!” But, that sounds soooo….. boring! So, I sit here and think about food and then things I could/should do. I’ll go back and fourth between those two things until it’s finally time to eat and go to bed.
This is the hard part.
The mental game.
