When you spend as much as 30 minutes choosing the day's workout...

[Nelly G]

I can pick a workout I want to do and go upstairs and cannot find the workout. Then instead of choosing another I hate that I cannot find it and spend time looking for it. Of course it is somewhere right in front of me but I miss it. Then I have in the end not much left and then I have to choose a short workout to do. Am I the only one looking for a dvd?

I told my husband about this and he said, "I'd have to find out which were the hardest and pick those for you!"

On a similar note I'll be all ready to do a workout I'd downloaded on to my iPad. I'm dressed and ready to go and realize it is not on my iPad. I had forgotten to put it there.

Then, I have the excruciating choice of whether to hook up to my desktop to put it on my iPad or just pick something else.

Wow, he’s tough! But seriously, I used to do this a lot. It is a great way to do different workouts that would otherwise never get done. I narrowed down the selection for him then he would randomly pick one and I would do it.

Sometimes this is easy and sometimes I can spin out and go on and on looking through the collection to pick. I love when i hit it just right though.

Yes, this is me most of the time. Sometimes I know exactly what to do and sometimes it takes me longer to figure out what I need.

I have been very tired lately too and lacking motivation and sometimes it takes me so long to figure it out then I end up not doing anything. I used to beat myself up about it but now I just give myself grace and know that I will get back at it another day when I am ready. Today was one of those days I got'er done and am feeling good.

All that being said, I have been contemplating doing one of the many programs I've bought and have never done! I have a hard time sticking with anything because I get bored and need constant variety but I am thinking that maybe having it all planned out for me will help me with my indecision... as in just do it without thinking or overanalyzing. (I just had to analyze how to spell over analyzing.)
