So I've been doing some thinking - well it really started yesterday while watching "The Biggest Looser" (totally love that show) - and I've come to the conclusion that I do way better when someone is either working out with me or pushing me to workout. While I was watching TBL, I wanted to get a few push-ups done while the commercial was on (working on my core and upper body strength) and I did 2...... 2!
It was like I couldn't push myself to get more done, but if someone else was there I would have probably followed thru on at least 3 (well maybe). Why is it that some people have the internal drive/motivation to accomplish a task without needing the aid or assistance of others? Does it make you needy if you need others to accomplish a task/goal? I'm just letting you in on what's going on in my thoughts right now.
I think the reason I do better when someone is around is because I don't want to look like a goober or slacker in front of other people. So I put game face on and get the job done. But when no one is around it's like I don't push as hard and feel like it's ok to take a break. Does that make me a people pleaser, or a... hum, I don't know the word for it. Ok, I gotta think about this somemore, what do you think?
