I didn’t want to get up at 4 a.m. this morning.
I didn’t want to run two warm-up laps.
I didn’t want to do squats.
I didn’t want to push a board 50 yards, walk on my hands while dragging my feet on a platter 15 yards and then run with a weight to the end zone.
I didn’t want to do that again. And then again.
I didn’t want to run 200 yards while holding a 4×4 post over my head.
I didn’t want to do lunges and calf raises while holding the same post over my head some more.
I didn’t want do a circuit. And then another station where I kept moving for 10 minutes.
But I did want to lose weight. And I lost four pounds.
Positive change is a sum of all the things we don’t want to do but do anyway.
