Starting my workouts

My goal is to get to 100% in my workouts.  Problem is, my 100% isn't that great.  It really deters me sometimes.  But, I've decided on a new mentality! 

My problem is starting.  To the point where I won't even start to do stuff.  But, here goes my new thinking.  Putting in 1% of effort into something is infinitely times more than putting in 0% effort.  Its basically me telling myself, I will get absolutely NO results if I don't workout today.  On top of that, even if I only put in 1% into my workout, then the next time I work out, it'll be that much easier. 

That gets me started.  And once I get started, I try hard to tell myself over and over that for every ounce more of effort I put in this time, next time will be even easier!!!  Now, admittedly, I'm probably only giving 70% in my workouts.  But its only been 3 days of my new workout high intensity routine and I'm sticking with it, and that's a lot more than I can say about my working out 2 months ago!

tl;dr... Just start!  It gets easier as you go!
