You guys know I've been struggling with my lack of motivation to
get off my ass workout. Well, I think I've found a solution. You see, my mother-in-law purchased an elliptical a while back and ended up giving it to my sister-in-law several weeks later. Now that my sister-in-law is moving back to our po-dunk town, the elliptical made its way back into my mother-in-law's house. We all know this poor elliptical isn't going to have much space to move around in her house and seriously cannot compete with 11 cats (and her husband) for her attention, so Philip and I (mostly me) offered to adopt said elliptical.
Yep, this bad boy lives in our living room now. And it just stares at me, taunting me, daring me to use it every day. An
in my face reminder to
get off my ass workout. Now I don't have the excuse of it being hot and humid outside, and I guess that's a good thing. Another plus? I can watch TV (read: Netflix) or even read with my Kindle while chugging along in the comfort of my living room. Rain or shine, cold or hot, allergies or not, I have an option for cardio.
Also, I asked everyone in
Friday's post what I should write about for my term paper in Psychology. Most of you guys said I should do Option 1: Motivation and Emotion in Psychology involving motivation to get healthy/lose weight and it's effects on one's emotions.
And after consulting a few more people (specifically my mom), that's what I'm going with. Should be an interesting topic to explore since I, and many of you, are going through a similar journey.
I feel like the elliptical needs a name. Suggestions?
