I left work feeling like my brain was fried, literally. Huge project I've been working on the past 2 days has literally depleted all the brain cells I had left. As I'm driving home, I'm thinking how I don't want to walk, I want to just lay on the couch and watch TV. I was trying to think of every excuse not to walk. I called my hubby and told him I was headed home and that I was going for a walk. I figured that was halfway to actually doing it - if I told him I was walking, I had to do it.
Got home and looked at the couch for a minute and really contemplated laying on it and not getting up for a few hours. But alas, I did not. I could not ignore Blue barking, expecting to go on our daily afternoon walk, or the fact that I NEEDED to walk.
So I changed my clothes and off we went. It was hot and humid and I was not totally into it, but the farther I walked, the better I felt. Each step I took made me happier that I did not listen to my inner evil voice and lay on the couch.
I will remember this the next time I don't want to walk and I'll tell myself JUST DO IT! And there will be no excuse because I know I can.
I was feeling very similar.. I did NOT want to go out and deal with wogging, but I knew I needed to and I will appreciate it when I get on the scale Sunday and when I go again on Thursday for my next interval training...
ReplyDeleteI need to get back into walking again... But it's so hard to find the time, more often than not. And then when I finally do find the rare free moment, I've then lost all drive b/c I'm so exhausted. More hours in the day, please. Heck, I haven't even had time to do something as simple as blogging in weeks...
