Thanks to a great start to the week with all of you, I have had one of my best weeks of exercise in a few months. I took it slow and just focused on getting my runs in and my basic weight lifting. I had planned to meet a good friend of mine for a long run this morning. We were meeting at 7am, so I was looking forward to "sleeping in." I was a few minutes early so I checked my email. There was a note from her saying she was sick with the flu. It was dark outside and I didn't want to run on the treadmill, so I just waited for it to turn light. Then I got sucked into the internet and started running out of time and losing motivation. Eventually I did get out the door, but for a much shorter run than planned. It was beautiful weather, the leaves were gorgeous and I felt great. I was so glad I went, but disappointed that it took me so long to make the decision. I am telling you this story because each day we make the choice whether or not to exercise. It takes a conscious effort. We have to find our motivation, whether it be a good chat with a friend, lifelong health, playing with our kids, or looking good in our wedding dress- we have to find what gets us out the door. We also have to find our backup reason. :-)
Hope you all enjoy your Saturday! I look forward to seeing you on Monday.
