Hurdle #1
Okay, so far my goal of doing exercise every day this week has not been a success. It’s been one of those weeks where things get in the way, or rather I get in my own way. Instead of dealing with stress in a good way, like with ummm exercise perhaps?, I have given in to lying in bed until right before I have to go to work, or drinking too much at dinner (that’s probably the reason for staying in bed too long, hmmm…).
This morning I hit snooze every ten minutes, each time telling myself I should get up and at least do ten minutes of yoga if not my whole 30 Day Shred workout. And each time I just rolled over and buried deeper into the blankets.
I knew when I started this new program that I wouldn’t be perfect every single week, that there would be days when it would be difficult to make myself exercise, but I really didn’t think it would happen so soon. I guess I can’t just expect my entire mindset to change in one moment, but I wish that was possible.
I know that I feel better when I am active every day. I know I feel better when I don’t stuff my face with potato chips. I know I feel better when I don’t go back to the bar for another drink. And yet, I still find myself doing these things and then feeling guilty the next morning. Hello, will I never learn?!
What have been your hurdles this week? It feels great to get them off your chest!
