Sundays are crazy days for me, and today was crazier than usual. My sister, for whom I work, has finally moved the office over to the new house. The only problem is the cable modem isn't up and running yet, so I had to do a lot more work on my end.
It's no big deal. I need the hours, and I can always use the money. It just meant I didn't have a whole lot of me time today.
I almost very nearly talked myself out of my walk today just using my tight schedule as an excuse. But all I could think about is that next weigh in, and how much I wanted it to be even more lbs gone. When I looked at my trusty pedometer and it said a measly 300 steps, I knew my blowing off the walk wasn't going to help me achieve that.
So I went on my walk. I hated the entire walk to the park. My feet hurt, I was stressing out about what needed to be done when I got home, etc. Finally I had a conversation with myself to convince myself that this is what I needed to do to get through the night. By going out, "pampering" myself with some alone time, getting fresh air and doing something positive toward my goal, I was better able to cope with what I had to face when I got hom.
I wish I could say I'm to the point that I love to exercise and you can't keep me still, but that's not happening yet. I'm still really lethargic and I have to physically force myself to do these things.
But I do like the way getting out and doing things makes me feel. And I really like seeing the changes taking place because of it. Since there is only one way to get those feelings, I guess I'm gonna hafta learn to like it.

Hi Gin!
It is hard to stay motivated but you are really close to being under 300! God is good to keep us moving! I try to stay focused on the fact that this is the only body I am going to get so I better take care of it. :) You hang in there kiddo, you are doing so well!
