I used to be all dressed for jogging so that I could be out doing it before I was even awake. Cycling... I don't need to.
Logging the miles and minutes is good, too, because *every* time out adds to the cumulative total, and I focus on the cumulative. I'm a person who does better if I'm out ahead, absolutely certain I am going to fail, but hey, I'm ahead of the pace right now so I'll just see if I can hold on a little longer. Then, sometimes, I do surprise myself and regardless, I am ahead of thegame.
Sometimes I have to get down to the whole "one day at a time" thinking... what am I doing **right now** ... forget about the big picture that intimidates me and sends me back to my room. Just thsi fifteen minutes...
I try to pay attention to what has worked and use it
... which reminds me, I really do need to make that phone call I've been putting off forever...
