Days 16-25

Working out everyday is tough. It is tough to motivate yourself. It is not like hunger, where your body tells you, "you gotta eat." It is exactly the opposite. Your body tells you, "you gotta rest." To exercise every day has not been ingrained as a habit yet. I want a day off, maybe even two, but since my mind and body have not yet been habitualized into my routine, I know that I cannot quit. These matters are made worse due to the fact that I have taken the summer off to spend more time with my daughter Grace. I have been able to do this because my gym has a children's area with very good supervision, that gives me the ability to frequently check on her during my workouts. I swim with Grace almost everyday and she has become quite an accomplished swimmer at the age of four. She can hold her breath and dive 8 feet to the bottom of the pool and retrieve things that I have place there. I didn't even learn to swim until I was 7 or 8 years old. She will be an accomplished surfer at 6 I'm sure.
