It's like flossing your teeth

Yesterday afternoon I truly, really, passionately didn't want to work out. Driving to the gym (rain meant riding inside rather than out) I told myself 'It's like flossing your teeth. You may not always love it, but it's a necessary thing you must do to care for your health.' I acknowledged the feeling, but reminded myself that exercise isn't always about fun. It can be great fun, and a lot of other positive, wonderful things. And some days it's like flossing - a necessary chore.

Wouldn't it be nice if excercise was always fun? At least you're acknowedging the necessity of it!

How true! I think we all have "chore" days where we really have to push ourselves out the door. It's those fun days though that keep the fire burning!
