I am a bachelor this week. Just our dog Benny and I holding things down. My wife is out of town for work and my son is hanging out with his grandma in Florida.
Benny and I are just doing all sorts of manly stuff like napping and eating things. The only problem with cooking and eating is that it comes with dishes. It’s even bigger problem when you are home alone and don’t have a wife or a 10 year old you can ask to help out.

You know how it is. When you have a million things going on, it is the little stuff you have to do that is the most annoying. But you gotta do what you gotta do.
So I decided I would just take care of a few dishes while I was cooking my eggs. Once I got started I realized how silly I had been and knocked them all out. The starting is the worst part!
It is the same way with working out. The dread of the workout is often more work than the actual workout! You fret, make excuses, put it off, etc…
Just. Get. Started.
If you are working out on your own, just start warming up. If you are going to a class or meeting a workout partner, just show up. Good things will happen, I promise you that.
Some of the best workout I’ve ever had came on days where it was the last thing I felt like doing. But something magical happens after you break that first sweat. Your body makes the switch and you can settle in and get to work.
File this one away for a rainy day when you don’t feel like working out. Just get started and everything will be ok.
