I'm laid out here on the couch,very comfortably I might add; with a plate loaded with steaming angel hair pasta and gobs of yummy meat sauce cooked for hours with onions and green peppers and celery and beef----and the smell of it is soporific. I just love pasta, and when I have it with a homemade sauce like this that has simmered half the day, well; this is seventh heaven, bud---for sure. But, as I twirl my fork in the heavenly stuff, my conscience just won't leave me alone and it keeps jabbing me to tone it down with the pasta, and get back to doing my ab exercises. What a drag.
I've started doing some recommended ab exercises that my trainer suggested I try, because my midriff is getting flabby and I need to build up my core muscles and strengthen all the muscles that make up the core area so I have better support. Exercising is not much fun, and I'm having a tough time sticking with the program----hence the big plate of spaghetti now and then.
So, I have my medicine ball and all the other accoutrements that go with doing a good set of ab exercises; and I try to stick to a routine that stays pretty much the same every week, but I just can't get my head into it. For some reason, I am just not motivated enough to put a whole lot of effort into it and I'm beginning to think I am just plain lazy when it comes to exercising. I start off with a bang, but as the week wears on, I think of all kinds of other things I would rather be doing. Those exercises are a real drag for me, and I wish there was another way to get the same results without having to do all that work.
The fact that the ab exercises that I'm talking about have to be done without fail 3-5 times each week is a downer in and of itself because I have never been good with sticking to routines---to me, that's like living a regimented life, and I don't like that. I really need to have someone in my life that cares about me and how I look, and maybe then I would show a little more concern about my midriff and get down to brass tacks and start doing the exercises for real. But until that happens, my midsection is on its own.
So, I guess the secret to sticking to a regimen of ab exercises that work, is just to do it faithfully, without looking for a way out, or whining about how much work it is. I know all the psychological aspects of exercising in the fact that you have to do it for yourself and all that stuff, but if you want to look better, but not badly enough that you have no motivation to exercise, then what. I've never been very good with routines either, or sticking to them for that matter.
And where does it get you----I have several friends that don't do any trips to the gym or exercise much at all, and they are in relatively good shape----so I figure I can go the same route and maybe follow the same diet as they are on and try to work out a little, and then I can shelve these ab exercises once and for all.
Just had another newsflash mentally----I should find myself a true blue love interest that will find me attractive the way I am now, but would be supportive of my starting ab exercises and sticking to a routine to improve myself down the road. Now that sounds like a plan that would work----motivation is the key here, and a little loving now and then is a good gas pedal for motivation. Yessirree. Well, I just might do that, just as soon as I finish this plate of yummy spaghetti and sauce, and then slowly pull myself up off the couch. Yep, it's a done deal.
