Oh my goodness I felt like such a slacker today. I had such high expectations for myself today especially since I came off a wonderful weekend. On Friday my running group (Black Girls Run) had such a wonderful time at our first social event. It was so nice meeting the ladies who I have been cheering on, and who have been doing the same for me. There was so much energy in the room. It is a powerful thing when you put a group of like minded, goal oriented sistah’s in a room. Can you say ELECTRIFYING?!?!?!?!
On Saturday, I spent the day cleaning and organizing my living space. That felt great too because now I feel like I have some clarity. Neither my mind nor my space feels cluttered. Yesterday I went to see Red Tails, which was a great movie. I came home and got my chillaxin on and thought I would be ready to take on the world today….NOT!!! For some reason I could not get my act together. All day long I felt like I was in a race with the clock. My plan was to hit the gym this morning to get my run and some strength training in, but of course things did not pan out that way. My plan B was to get my butt in gear by lunchtime and you guessed it, that did not happen either. At that point, because I had to work late, I just decided to skip my workout all together and do better tomorrow.
Now here’s the thing. I have not been to the gym nor have I worked out since Wednesday…Uggggg!!!! So skipping out today was just not sitting well with me. I try not to let more than 2 days go by without doing something, but as it turned out, having to care for my Mom and dealing with some other things, I allowed 4 days to get by me without even a leg lift. Sooooo, as I was driving home from work, I decided to take a detour and headed for the gym. I am so glad I went because I feel 100% better. I worked off the frustrations of the day with a 2 mile run and I got rid of the guilties. Now I can go to bed with a clear conscience and a plan to hit the gym first thing in the morning before the craziness of my day tries to derail me.
