Making deals with my future self, etc. But it's going to take more than my elliptical to get me a bikini body. I'm carrying about 70 extra pounds that I'd need to drop before I'd be seen on a two piece.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223994862015217811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651710801239994783.post-64910621999891269272011-10-17T16:07:55.409-07:002011-10-17T16:07:55.409-07:00This is the funniest one yet.This is the funniest one yet.Your Hunky Husbandnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651710801239994783.post-88436891498784086512011-10-17T11:21:06.708-07:002011-10-17T11:21:06.708-07:00Janiece, WB :)
What you are practicing is called...Janiece, WB :) <br /><br />What you are practicing is called the Premack principle. It is one of my favorite motivational tools. <br /><br />I started writing this as a facetious take on my less-than-stellar exercising track record which I have no illusions about bettering by the acquisition of a bigger, fancier machine. But now that I think about it, if I actually ground it in behavioral principles (and so far I have effectively changed my antecedents, Establishing Operations if you want the jargon), I may have a shot at a not-too-gross bikini body in a month. <br />Humm, I'm getting ideas... to be continued!<br /><br />Awww Heather, my garage is a LOT nicer than MY living room too... partly because we don't use it much (for parking or for its repurposed game-rec room function). Good eye there with the pool table, that is correct!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477053024120321776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651710801239994783.post-17848260676836281852011-10-17T10:35:17.259-07:002011-10-17T10:35:17.259-07:00Hey, your garage is a lot nicer than my living roo...Hey, your garage is a lot nicer than my living room!

Or likes to exercise. Or cares about how flat my stomach is. Here are the reasons I exercise:<br /><br />1. All my guilty pleasure shows ("Glee," anyone?) are on the TiVo in the basement. I am not allowed to watch them unless I'm actually ON the elliptical. I like my trashy shows, and I'm not going to miss them because I'm a lazy butt. <br /><br />2. I read a study that said women who exercise in their middle age - and continue to exercise as they age - have a much lower incidence of senile dementia than the control group. Since no health condition scares me more than losing my faculties, I exercise from fear.<br /><br />3. Once I started doing it regularly, I noticed I felt like poo when I skipped more than about 3 days in a row. This really pisses me off, by the way, but I don't like to feel like poo.<br /><br />Being an adult blows.Janiecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06223994862015217811noreply@blogger.com
