Health vs. Beauty

As my body gets sorer, and the workouts get tougher, I have to examine my motivation. Why did I start this program? Well, it was to get in better shape so I will able to keep up with my kids in 10 years. I would be lying to myself (and you) if I wasn't excited about the possibility of uncovering a few more abs. As I age, my attention to what I look like is really decreasing. I remember when I made fun of my dad for wearing his dress socks with his wind pants....now that is me. I mean I even posted a rather unflattering picture at the start of this blog, I probably wouldn't have done that 5 years ago. Well anyways, you have to find your own motivation, and it has to be yours. If you try to change for someone else, its not going to work. As nice as it sounds in your head, I guarantee it will not work. I have tried.
The workout was good last night. The DVD focused on shoulders and arms. I guess my vanity shines through in this workout because these are the muscles that get the attention when you are in your tank top or swimsuit. I think this was my favorite workout of the ones we have done. Yoga is on the schedule tonight. Trish is going to kick my butt in this one!
