Try Getting Up and Doing It — Day 96

From the moment I got out of bed this morning, I was utterly convinced that I was going to have a fantastic day. I’ve gotten this kind of feeling before, but it’s been a much more frequent occurrence since I’ve improved my lifestyle. It was just one of those mornings where the sun is shining and you fell totally refreshed, so my high expectations didn’t come as a surprise. Either way, I was determined to do everything I could to make my day live up to this initial feeling.

It turns out this feeling was right, as I felt like a force of nature with everything I did today. I got a ton of housework and errands done, and I was able to do so in what seems like record time. Since I finished everything so early, I took my kids out to the park to enjoy the nice weather, and we also grabbed a quick bite to eat from a healthy food stand. I’m not sure that any of us were very fond of the food, but hey–at least it was better than KFC.

Although my energy and motivation had been high all day, I started to feel a bit worn out by the time I was supposed to do my workout. I was almost about to consider skipping it altogether and just relax for the rest of the day, but I managed to catch myself (and give myself a decent scolding for thinking this way). I can’t take days off just because I feel like it. Even just a tiny bit of “cheating” can waterfall into full-blown regression, and there’s no way I’m going to let that happen. Thankfully, I was able to motivate myself enough to get a solid workout in.
