Calling all supporters

Hey guys. Readers of this blog, few that you may be. I am reaching out to you to help me. It's my latest attempt at trying to get back on track with hitting the gym.

If you'd like to help me, here's what I'd like you to do. Please ask me DAILY how the previous day's workout went. Here's the trick: you have to ask it nicely. If you ask it in a "why didn't you go" or a "I bet you didn't go" or any other sort of mean way that you think might trick me into going, I'm going to be mad at YOU rather than get any benefit out of it. Ideally, I think if you ask me something like "how did yesterday's workout go?", it reminds me without nagging me, see. It's more like you're asking how it went while expecting that I've actually went, rather than saying "did you go" which is more like you're keeping tabs on me, which I don't enjoy.

And if and when I tell you that yesterday's workout didn't happen, please PLEASE don't try to make me feel bad for it. Guess what - by talking about it at all, I already get the self-imposed guilt of not having gone, but without any of the being-mad-at-the-asker. I need constructive criticism.

I started this blog so that I would feel some degree of responsibility for actually doing my workouts and eating properly, but guess how easy it is to ignore your blog - very. I think that by having you guys ask me about workouts, I'll definitely have that degree of responsibility. I'll want to wow you with my amazing workout, not tell you day after day that I was too lazy to get off my bum yet again.

Again, without nagging me and trying to make me feel bad. You might think you're helping, but actually I'll probably end up mad at you and if you ask me the next day, you'll probably get snapped at! I'm a snapper! Don't be surprised when I'm short with you if you nag me ;) But if you do it nicely, supportively I guess would be the word only that isn't actually a word, I really think it could go a long way towards my progress, and I thank you all for any help you can provide.
