I wish I was still traversing the Arizona mountains or the hills of Blacksburg; but alas, I sit taking redundant calls from US citizens and international visitors all day. Now that play time is over, it is necessary for me to get back to reality. First on the agenda, get back to healthy eating and start exercising!
Yesterday started out much better than Monday. I still hadn't put everything away from our beach trip so I spent Monday morning cleaning my house. Yesterday morning I got on the treadmill :) It has been way too long since I have done that! It felt really, really good. I still did some cleaning when I got up so I only did thirty-five minutes (3.3 miles).
This morning I let my alarm go off for a while before setting it for a later time. NO exercise happened. I don't know what the deal is but I am exhausted and have no motivation to workout. I need to somehow "reset" my motivation. Any ideas?
Eating has been OK. I did a really great job of eating well for breakfast and lunch on Monday but then I got home extra late and Alex came home with Thai food. It wouldn't have been too bad except I was beyond tired and had the self-control of a two year old and ate everything in sight. Yesterday was much better although I went out to dinner with my family to celebrate my brother Sean's birthday. We went to a buffet but I was able to keep myself under control :) Of course, there was cake and I had a slice in support of Sean's twenty-two years on Earth.
I have to bowl tonight to make up for a day I missed last week...does that count for exercise? Some would say yes...
Did you choose sleep or exercise today?

Resetting your motivation is hard, but I think public (or social media) accountability is a good tool. If you say on Facebook or Daily Mile that you're going to run, then you have to do it, right? :)
