I learned in AP Psychology that it takes an average of 68 days to form a habit. I was determined to make going to the gym my new habit and priority. After over two months of working out, I have tried new classes, machines and I've had just about every thought imaginable. Here are 21 thoughts I think most of us can relate to:
1. "Can I just go home and watch the Bachelor?"
2. "Why am I doing this again?"
3. "Do I have abs yet?"
4. "When will I start gaining muscle"
5. "When will I start loosing weight?"
6. "How many months does it take for someone to look like the body builders?"
7. "Do the body builders have any other hobbies?"
8. "I swear, I am working out more than the body builders. All they do is sit on their phones or have their friends take pictures of them 'working out'"
9. "How can someone run that fast?"
10. "I'm awesome!"
11. "Wow, I just ran 2 miles! I can do this!"
12. "God, please help me get through this last mile. I really can't do this."
13. "I hate running!"
14. "I hope no one is watching me take this gym mirror selfie"
15. "If there's no picture, did I really work out?"
16. "Am I using this right?"
17. "Why is every college guy here so hot!?"
18. "Maybe being fit could be my new 'thing'"
19. "Showing fast food on the tv screens is literally torturous. Why do they have to be so cruel? Don't they know I'm trying to be health?"
20. "I should totally go to a Pilates class sometime." *Never goes*
21. "I haven't been to the gym in foreverrrr! Is it even worth it?"
It is! You can do it! Keep up the great work guys!
