0003 - Repetition

As you are working on your mindset, and finding pride in the things you control, you will need to develop a routine. This means setting aside a certain amount of time, and doing everything in your power to make time, on a daily basis, to work on your goals (exercise, etc.)

You should not push yourself hard. That would just burn you out and make the establishment of a routine impossible. Just spend time getting started. Early in this process, resign yourself to the fact that you have to schedule regular time to workout and meet your goals. Make it easy on yourself by not pushing very hard yet.

If you walk on a treadmill or elliptical machine, you can do things like watch TV that you have recorded on your DVR while working out. This would save you time by including some entertainment as part of the workout.

The goal at this point is NOT to push hard and get results. The goal is to establish a discipline of routine so you can begin to learn how to change your life. Be proud of the journey you are on, and don't judge yourself by any lack of results. Don't overdo anything. If you are going to work out for 30 minutes every day, then be sure you go at a pace that is comfortable for 30 minutes every day.
