Falling off the wagon

I'm having a hard time getting motivated to go out running today. Last week on Wednesday, I was really feeling burned out and tired so I went to the gym, lifted weights, and skipped the cardio. On Thursday I was ready to rock and roll again but the girls in my office (there are only 3 of us) had planned to go out and celebrate the completion of projects, me joining the team, and our co-worker's job offers (sad to see her go but such is the life of an Army wife). So Thursday got dumped for exercise. Friday got dumped when my boyfriend and I decided it's been too long since we had a date night and Saturday got overcome by errands and necessary life maintenance. Ok. So that was the weekend. I DID work in the garden yesterday, which was great and burned some calories but today I'm sitting here thinking, "I really should go running. I signed up for a race and there's no better time to start training for it than now. I mean, yes, I'm a little tired and I have a million things to do to prepare for our guests this weekend but what about my weight-loss goals? What about feeling fabulous after a good run or lifting session? What about those plans I made for myself about being consistent and making better decisions for me? Would it be better if I went out and followed through or sat here and worked on laundry?"

Yeah...ok...excuse me...I have a run to do.

Way to climb back on the wagon!

(I had a couple of weeks like that in March ...)

You're doing better at clinging to the wagon than I am just now....
