This week has been interesting... Today is another special occasion so I get sugar! My mom has noticed my lack of motivation and how discouraged I have been lately so she has come up with a way to motivate me.
It's called the Workout Jar.
There are seven rules to the Workout Jar. Here's an instagram of my first dollar in it from last night!
I know it's hard to see but I have this nice vase that I place money into every time I workout. But there are rules.
Rules of the Workout Jar:
1. You Must Workout Once a Day (however, you are aiming for twice a day)
2. Every Workout is Worth One Dollar!
3. If you miss a day (aka. one workout) you must make up for it another time.
4. When you make up for it, that workout is only worth fifty cents!
5. Having sugar on a non-sugar day results in one workout.
6. That one workout, if done the same day, is worth 50 cents.
7. If that one workout is made up for on a different day, it is only worth 25 cents.
Notes:
A sugar day is one of the following: A special occasion (Party, birthday, holiday, celebration), or a bad day (like a really bad day. A day that is so bad, you cry) [Note* you probably shouldn't be eating away your feelings. Limit yourself. You don't have these days often]
Your workouts may be "blown off" (aka rule 3 does not apply) for the following reasons: You are too sick to do it, it is your birthday, it is a holiday and you don't have time to workout[If you have time, you better do it], you are having a bad day.
DO NOT MAKE EXCUSES NOT TO, YOU ARE ONLY COSTING YOURSELF MONEY AND RESULTS!
My mom is so kind to be willing to do this for me to help me out. Half my earnings will go towards my concert savings and the other half to spend and/or save.
How do you motivate yourself to workout?
Wish it. Dream it. Do it.
Good for you Erica! Stick with it and you will feel amazing.
