Almost caved today. Seriously almost caved. See, I had a plan, I did. It was a good one too. . . you might even say it was one of my best laid plans . . .
So, once again, 11:00 got here and I'd not fulfilled my promise to myself. But then I thought about confessing to you and I decided to buck up and do it anyway. 23 minutes later, I wasn't nearly so frustrated over all the things that had postponed my exercise to that late hour.
Now, I should confess that even now as I see that 23 there, I think, "That's all? And you call that a work-out?" Quickly, I have to remind myself that 23 minutes is 23better than nothing. Last week, I'd never have dreamed of dragging out the Wii Fit board at 11:00. This week, I did 23 minutes. Not bad. Not a killer work-out, no, but it's something.
Tomorrow, I have a plan again. I plan to go to the YMCA and get a real work-out--an hour or so. And do I think it is important to plan for exercise. The important thing is to be flexible and to realize that if your plan is foiled, you may have to pull out the home equipment (which could be a pair of athletic shoes for you to walk/march in place for 30 minutes).
On to day 6 then, decreasing as I go,
