This morning, I didn't want to work out. I was thinking about a conversation I had the day before and got to bed late. I didn't get a good night's sleep and didn't want to wake up at 5:30 a.m. to work out. Lucky for me, we had a power outage and my alarm didn't go off.
Unfortunately, my husband's alarm has a back-up battery so 10 minutes later...guess who woke me up? Any time my husband tries to wake me up, I usually go back to bed and pretend to be awake by putting a book near me or sitting up (with the lights off). But this time, he made sure I was awake before he left for work.
Ugh...I did another 200 squats, even though I haven't fully recovered from the squats I did two days ago and got on the bike for 40 minutes. I didn't put 100% in, but I did put 50% into the workout. (You have to move the pedals or bike will shut off.) Even though I didn't want to work out, I did it anyway, and I got my 40 minutes in for the day.
Sometimes, we let our emotions get the best of us. We have a bad day and prefer to wallow in our misery rather than to make the best of what we can with that "bad' moment. We let our entire day be run by the "thing" that happened instead of making a change and doing something that will help us enjoy the rest of our day. Of course this is all good in theory right? Until it actually happens again.
I was so thankful for my workout buddy, my hubby, for his support. He didn't give up on me and pestered me to get my workout done.
Day 8..here I come! Hope you get your 40 minutes in today...there's lots of hours in a day.
