I Didn’t

Have I mentioned that I’m not perfect? I’m often applauded for my determination and motivation and stick-to-it-iveness – and I appreciate the pats on the back – but I’m far from the perfect role model.

Take yesterday, for instance: I had planned on getting up early and going for a run.

I didn’t.

As I was sleeping that extra hour, I decided I would work out after work.

I didn’t.

All night, in fact, I kept saying to myself: You need to exercise. A few push ups is not a work out. Get your butt in gear and do something!

I didn’t.

Some days, it’s just so difficult to overcome the trials of the day – or not even trials, just events. Even though I knew what I should have done, I simply didn’t feel like it.

So I didn’t.

    I too have these days, often. Tomorrow is another day right?

    We all have these days of occasion. It is not what happens on any one day that makes a long-term difference. It is when those things become systemic. I still think you are a great source of inspiration, determination, motivation, and stick-to-it-iveness.

    Thanks for the empathy, guys! It means a lot. I figure if most days I DO, I’m doing pretty well. I just hate these days where the motivation completely escapes me…

    The story of my life! I’m in an unusually motivated mode right now, but especially in the winter getting myself to follow through on exercising is a bitch. Keep trying!
