Day 142: Work Makes You Lazy

What is it about getting off work that makes you not want to do anything?  Seriously, if it wasn’t for this blog I would have never have done half the exercise I have.  This is the thing that keeps me going.  Ever work in an office?

It is funny how sitting all day make you tired and robs you of your desire to even go for a walk.  Today is a good example of one of those days.  My job, while not stress full, can be mentally taxing from time to time.  I know I’m not doing brain surgery but sifting through multiple data bases looking for a diamond among grains of sand can wear on you a little.

Some days you just want to come home, have an adult beverage, and veg out.  For me that is when this blog hits me in my face.  Maybe that is why so many people have such a hard time exercising or staying health.  You want to, you plan to, and then life trips you, you land face first in the mud, and it points and laughs at you. 

By pure force I got out the door and hit road for a jog. After I start jogging and the blood starts flowing I wonder why I was having such a hard time.  Jogging does clear my mind and give me time to think.  After reflecting on the benefits it produces I wonder why I have such a hard time motivation myself to just get out the door. 

I think of exercise as ripping off the band-aid.  You have to trick yourself.  You have to give it the ole’ count of three routine and pull at two. 

Daily Recap:
Matt:  Typical afternoon jog with Pushup exercises
