Move Your Booty


This month, I signed up for Move Your Booty, which encourages any signer-upers to sweat 22 times in a month.  I figured this would motivate me to be ready for next month's four mile run and I like to be held accountable.  Spin at this Real Ryder studio is up for tomorrow.

It's interesting, I feel like if I waited around for motivation, I'd head to the gym like twice a month! The other day, my therapist brought up the idea of motivation versus commitment, with the former being slightly juvenile (I want to do something or I feel like doing it) and the latter being more mature (I will do this because I said I would). I'd never thought of those words that way before, but I think signing up for something like you did is a great way to make a commitment to yourself!

I just started a workout calendar that I do week by week, and to see certain blocks of time scheduled in has been really helpful so far in keeping my commitment to go to the gym!
