There are a ton of reasons that I am getting off the lazy train and finally making my life healthier and more active. The main one - I'm not happy with how I feel. Another great motivator - a LOT of pictures will be taken this year, and I want to be happy with how I look and feel in them. I'm Heather's maid of honor,and I want to look and feel good for myself, and in her wedding!
I promise our dresses will be prettier than this -- and no bonnets.
Last post was 12/29. I ran the next day too! Then it was a bit colder, so I skipped the run, and enjoyed New Years. Back to the daily grind -- I went to the gym on Tuesday night, then spin on Wednesday. Then Spin Friday morning with Lauren from work. Friday was a huge struggle.
5:25 am text to Lauren: "are you really going?"
Lauren: yes.
me: did not sleep well, I am struggling
Lauren: Haha, if you can't make it - I won't make you come. but you're awake already!
me: I am awake but still in bed! I should go.
Lauren: If you go you will be happy later.
And that is why you make plans with friends for early AM workouts. I really would not have gone if Lauren hadn't encouraged me to get up!
Also - I said good bye to:
weekday drinking.
Those few happy hours, or glasses of wine with dinner add up! So, I'm cutting back. I'm sure I'll hit a happy hour or two over the next few months, but I'm not going out of my way to have it on hand, or have that casual glass of wine on a Tuesday night. After just one week, I felt better from this quick change. (And, there will definitely be times when we have to get a drink after work to catch up, vent, or regain our sanity! )
