Before I fell asleep I had it set in my head that there would be no way I'd be up for running at the gym tomorrow. And to be honest, I was looking forward to the excuse off from the gym.
But surprisingly, I woke up feeling less tired then I do most days. Odd.
I don't know about where you are, but the weather here for the past few days has been just plain ol' miserable. Rainy & cold. Gloomy, dark, yuck. And it's forecasted to be this way for the rest of the week. Boo. If I napped, today would have been the perfect scenario for one.
But despite the lack of sleep & the depressing rain, I had an incredible day today. Why?
B/c I ran. And b/c I ran, I ate well. And b/c I ate well, I felt great. The best domino effect.
No excuses today. Not like the last few months. Easter. Mothers Day. Every other holiday. Birthday's. The weekend. Movie night's. BBQ's. Get-togethers. Etc. There's always going to be something. Some excuse. And I know this. I'm not new at this. I've been through all these holidays, all these excuses. I know what to do to be successful during these times. And I have. But not lately.
Lately I've been lying to myself. Cheating myself. Doing as little as I can to get by week to week. I have a good week, feel satisfied, and "give myself a break" the following week and gain. It's ridiculous. I hate it. I'm over it. It took a while to get to this point, but I'm here.
I was jogging slowly after the wagon, not really trying to catch it. Just pretending I was making an effort. I've finally decided to run, catch it, and hop back on. Thankfully my seat was still warm.

Yay Kim! You're so right about the domino effect. I'm exactly the same way, but a much slower jogger (an aspiring runner!). Have a great day!!
