The Flipping of The Switch



I did a two-a-day today, sort of. It was after midnight when I did my second workout of the day, but technically, tomorrow is a day off, but Energy 2.0 has been logged as of 2:20am. Having explained that brings me to the title of this blog.

At some point today, a switch flipped in my brain. See, one of the reasons I started this blog, and really, even way back when we I signed up for DDPYoga Now™, because I needed a reason to exercise. When it was just the app, it was "Well, I'm paying for the app, I should probably do what it says," and for the most part, that kept me exercising, most of the time. Now that I have this accountability blog, and there are like 6 or so people who read it on a regular basis, first of all, I write a whole hell of a lot more, and I don't dare miss a workout for fear of embarrassment. Well, this afternoon, a couple of hours after I'd done Chair Warrior with Jake The Snake, I said to myself "Well, since I need to stay up tonight so I can sleep through dialysis, I might as well do another workout tonight.

And after I made that decision, I realized I was looking forward to it.

The switch has flipped. I'm no longer doing DDPY because I feel I have to. No one would have noticed if I didn't do Fat Burner 2.0. I did it because I enjoy being on the mat. I like exercising. It makes me feel good. Even more, it makes me feel better.

I haven't decided yet, but I may still do yet another workout in the morning before I leave for dialysis, even if it just Wake Up 2.0 or Wake Up Classic.

Decisions decisions decisions...

Update: 7:05am

I did Wake Up 2.0. Bang.
