Physical Intelligence - Day 30

At the 1/3rd milestone I am not where I expected to be considering I have followed through on the basic challenge which is to attend the gym once per day for 90 days.  Yet here I am with my weight moving in the wrong direction and finding myself at 208lbs - 2lbs above the beginning weight 30 days ago.  Here I accepted the ribbing from my son who joked "look at those abs dad".

Add to this that I can't reframe that which I find to be dreary gray weather with constant sound of rain falling. This is not "Singing in the Rain" even if I could find a Ginger Rogers or I could sing.  The constancy of the rain and dullness of light are coupled with hearing bursts of thunder in the distance, I have not found yet the mental faculty to reframe such a day, though I know it is absolutely possible to enjoy a rainy day. 

The chief message at my club today will be around commitment, ownership, innovation and loyalty to an adaptive culture and not "same as it ever was" life.  That I do believe is the biggest turn-off from exercise that in order to get ourselves engaged by it, we need to follow the discipline of a set pattern, but it is the set pattern we move away from because we think in terms of boredom and anxiety and not actually flow of life.  On days like this, my imagination is somewhat lacking because I don't think like a farmer who has had no rain,  I should value rain.

I think it is time for motivational videos - the type that I usually roll my eyes to and should not. A massive bolt of lightning struck as I was finishing editing this log,  but what is the chance of me being struck by lightning.  If I did there is a lesson about motivational videos.
