This evening I exercised for 150th time since I told myself that I will not lose out and workout.
This habit is also an example of how I hoped to deal with my new year resolutions:
Identity – I saw myself as the type of person who never misses the workout. So I only cared to show up. I never worried about the weight I could lift or the weight I lost. There is only one person in our workout group who showed up more times than I did.
Habits and Processes – 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday. Just backpack the workout clothes and shoes. No willpower required.
Evolution – Compared to when I started, I can hold the band tighter, swing the rope higher and last the plank longer. I am now comfortable with heavier kettlebells. I can finish all the sets and reps on the whiteboard.
I am not after any particular results although I believe that results happen by themselves. I am training for life. So the effort continues.
