Heavy Lifting

As much as I love routine, sometimes when you're in one for too long it gets a little... well.. routine.
I've been really good about my gym routine, and lately I've been focusing on my form and making sure I'm actually using my muscles to lift the weights and not just my willpower. This involves mostly just really thinking about the muscle/ muscle group that you're targeting when you lift a weight, and making sure you're not using either momentum/swing/surrounding muscles to help you lift it. Ie: no thinking about the laundry you have to do later, or what you're gonna eat after your workout, or about chocolate (oh god just try not to think about chocolate)

 If your form sucks then you're basically wasting your time. If you think your form might suck... find the least intimidating looking trainer in your gym and ask them to give it a look.

 orrrrrr your sneaky boyfriend might take a video behind your back (literally) to show you you’re keeping your form in check :)
