The second day of the week is always a little easier, a little easier to get out for a workout and easier time waking up. Easier on the kiddos wake up, easier on the husband's wake up.
Headed out to the gym this morning and did my own version of agilities in the NW Rec. I love going there, because there isn't anyone there. That is a huge hurdle to jump through for myself to jump through when I need to work out. Well maybe not exactly huge, because I'm used to the "dying ugly" in front of others. I had 7 years of some high intensity workouts. Still I have a hard time getting into the mind frame of complete surrender. Surrender to a few things:
1 I am not that sharply dressed fashionista when I work out.
I'll settle for a pony tail and be happy with a shirt that doesn't hang to my knees. Although on this point, I want to change. I'm thinking of rewarding myself with cute workout pieces as I'm achieving my goals. I want to have those workout outfits, I feel great when I look great. This includes the matching shorts and shoes.
2 I'm out of shape.
I'm desperately wanting a strong and sound body and mind. I will look good but need to put in the work. And for me putting in the work is NOT pretty. I don't run cute, don't sweat cute, don't breathe cute. So me getting into shape is not going to be pretty, get over it.
3 Sausage tastes so good!
I find myself cheating all the time on things I don't need or really even want. I justify with I'm a on the go mom I need to eat SOMETHING. In other words, my planning skills better pick up, cause these on the go meals are negating the lines I just ran at the gym.
