I persevered.

This post may be silly to some. It may not be that big an accomplishment to you. But it's a *yay me!* for me. :) So much that on this busy day I'm taking a quick second to blog.

Today is a busy day. I have some errands to run, gifts to buy, shopping for jeans, and cards to make. Tonight is my brother-in-law and sister-in-law's birthday party, and I have much to do before this evening. So this morning I get up and think I don't have the time to do my 2 miles at the track. No big deal, I'll do it this weekend. After getting Kaleigh ready for school I talk myself into it. Get your fat ass to the track. Okay, I can squeeze in 1 mile. So I quickly get dressed, take her to school, and stop at the track. I start my routine. And before I know it I'm done with my 1 mile. Okay, quit with the excuses. Don't be weak and lazy. I'm going to do my full 2 miles. Done.

Big deal, right?

To me, it is. This is only my first week to start back exercising. I'm doing two miles each morning (walk the first lap to warm up, 6 laps of running the straights and walking the curves, and 1 mile of walking to cool down). But I'm bad awful notorious about starting a week or two and then the excuses start creeping in. Oh, I don't feel good today. The weather isn't good. I'm too busy today to fit it in. I can do it tomorrow. blahblahblahblahblah And then tomorrow turns into two days and then three and then it's a week. And then a week goes by and turns into another and then into a month. And then where am I at? Still unhealthy and unhappy and disappointed in myself.

No more.

Today I persevered.

Yay Shannon!!

It's not silly at all to be proud of yourself and that you talked yourself into doing something you were going to "blow off" today!! I did that same thing yesterday...got up later since Mandi had the day off of school and decided not to do my workout..then, I was like..no way, I can do it...and I did! I not only felt great to workout but it felt great to realize that I pushed myself to do it!!! You go girl!!

Blessings,
