Friday, December 21:
I didn't make it to class today. I knew I wasn't going to make it. Lately, I've been feeling bad about not making it, because I know Jerry has thought of substitute exercises. Last night before I went to sleep I subconciously decided that I would not be working out. I didn't know I had made that decision. I diligently set my two alarm clocks to go off at 5am. I set the coffee on automatic brew, so it would be ready at 5:30.
Everything worked as it should.. alarms went off at 5.. coffee pot started swirling at 5:30.. The only thing that wasn't properly working was me. I shut off one of my alarms.. and snoozed the other. By the time 5:20 came around, I had turned both clocks off and reset one of them to 7am. Ahh loving the lazy life.
I do have a point. The real reason I didn't get out of bed was that I had decided well before I went to bed that I would probably not leave it on time. I had made a plan to sleep in and take it easy. I could have just as easily made the decision that I was going to make it. It's a tactic that can be applied to just about every we do, even working out. Before you even start a workout make a decision that you will finish it. Before you start decide your going to perform well. Tonight, I have decided that I will indeed wake up on time and get to class.

Hey, when you use the weight vest do you have any lower back pain the next day or so?
Not generally. Where are the weights sitting. Are they on your shoulders or around your hips. I prefer the weights up higher. Wish my answer could be more helpful.
I keep them lower so they don't rub my shoulder so much.
