Other than complaining, I'm really good at allowing myself lots of breaks. I'm especially bad with this at home. I'll do 45 min of chores and then spend the rest of the day laying around feeling justified. How do you motivate yourself to keep going while at home? The bed is so tempting...

No problem, if you don't express yourself you won't know that it is normal! Only saints don't ever grumble.

Who the heck said I was motivated at home? LOL

Uh, I just got back to my workout schedule. I have to stay motivated to do that by not coming home and just walking from the school. Too easy to come home and get back on here and lounge with the others who can also play.

Housework. Well, I also think I have your chore schedule. When I look back at my day and try and think, What have I done today? it just doesn't fill up my day.

But, to motivate me, I first have to put this puppy on sleep. Then, I turn off the t.v. I put on some jumping music very loud, loud enough so that I can hear it all over the house {this brings complaints from anyone here but I tell them 'Hey, I'm cleaning the house! You're not!} and I just get busy. Sure, I get distracted with photo albums, magazines, books, clothes...but I figure I'll get it done eventually.

My bed. Ah, I love my bed. I stay away from it. If I get too close to it, I will crawl under the comforter and go to sleep. If I know I can get away with it, I will, but after I've finished some major chores.

Today I have to make calls and do some work on the computer. No one thinks I do work on here but I do. They get many scoffs from razzing me about that, for sure.
