One of the things that I do is put on my work out clothes (jogging shorts, t-shirt or sweat shirt, running shoes) when I first get up in the morning which tells me whatever I do I have to work out before I shower and dress and go to work. This is a way to kind of "trick"myself into working out before I get a chance to avoid it. Stumble to the gym or out to jog and then go to work.Norman Kaplan www.calcol.com.
