I always hear, “Working out is better with a workout buddy.”
What do you do when it seems like people are always bailing on you? I always invite people to bike ride or swim with me. WAY too often, they back out. Then it’s a struggle to make myself continue in their absence. I don’t blame them – life gets busy. Maybe it’s a testament to my motivation, or lack thereof sometimes! I just have to keep pushing through.
This morning I had two swim buddies for my after-work swim. I am about to leave work and I’m the only one still going swimming. I’d really like to just go home, but I’m trying to make myself swim anyway. I like swimming. I really do. But sometimes curling up on the couch sounds so much better, doesn’t it?
Not tonight. Tonight I will swim. I will channel Michael Phelps.
And maybe someday I’ll have great abs too. 🙂
Do you find it hard to stay motivated when your workout buddy bails on you?

I’m sort of weird I guess. I like having someone to be accountable to, but I like having a workout all to myself. I guess it’s my “me time” and I just get into the zone and go!
