For anyone who’s committed to a workout plan or goal in the past, you know that it is way easier to come up with workout goals than follow through with them. We get so excited thinking about our goals for the year to get those 6-pack abs you’ve been dreaming about, or signing up for the 10k charity race you’ve always wanted to run, or committing to a 5 day a week workout routine, or losing 10 pounds.

This goal setting and frustrating inability to achieve those goals is something I’ve struggled with throughout my life. There would be days of high motivation and excitement where I’d announce my very ambitious goals to the world, only to realize a few months later that I completely forgot about them.
