Doing something healthy like exercising doesn't work nearly as well when you resolve to do it three times a week as it does when you decide to do it seven days a week. When you resolve on three days a week, TODAY is never the optimal day. And very often that turns out to be the case tomorrow too, when that turns into TODAY.
It's unfortunate but there it is.
When I quit smoking I had to go cold turkey because cutting down was impossible. when I tried to smoke less I had big decisions each time about whether this was the moment to take the next cigarette. With cold turkey, there is no decision. It's already been made. Not easy, but it works.
