Every time I want to flake out on going to the gym, I need to start reciting this mantra:

“By not going to the gym or working out as planned, I am making a conscious choice to have a flabby butt and moreover, to have ongoing back pain. Am I willing to choose these things for myself? Is that what I want? I didn’t think so; now go to the gym.”

I just walked 2 miles on the treadmill, felt great, but now I am of course, starving.
