Here it is, Tuesday already. I made myself a resolution to get back to the gym, but didn't make it on Monday. I would tell you that work got in the way, but I can admit the truth: I let work be the excuse and just skipped out! Yeah, not such a good way to start off... but I felt so guilty about blowing off the gym yesterday, that I made an effort and went today after work.
Because it has been so long since I went, I didn't want to start off with causing myself "morning after" aches and pains, so I kept it to a mile on the elliptical, then did my usual weight machines, keeping the reps to 20 and started off with 5lbs less than I had finished off with back in October, before gall bladder surgery.
And I'm feeling pretty good, so far. Other than being a little more on the hungry side, but that's my own mental issues; I'm sure my body isn't truly hungry as I didn't skip any meals (or snacks) along the way.
And even though its still early in the evening, I feel ready to crawl right into bed! For some much needed sleep! lol you and your naughty mind! *giggles*
Another reason for forcing myself to the gym is to create a habit again. I allowed it to break, to do things like come home and watch tv until my eyes glazed over. But that's not good for a person. That doesn't feed our soul or make us feel good about our self. We need to do things for us - I need to do things for me - to show a little self love! And I found this quote as my mantra this week. As I blog this, I'm also writing it on a post it note to hang on my mirror:
Move that gorgeous body of yours every single day
and learn to love the skin you’re in.
You can’t hate your way into loving yourself.
I don't know who said it, but its worth repeating a few times!
