Just saying no

[Guest guest]

That's what I said yesterday and today to my workouts... yesterday I had stuff to do in the morning and worked in the evening but could have done something in the afternoon. After DH called me with the job news my first thought was "I should work out." And my 2nd thought was "Screw that, where's the food?!" I went with my 2nd impulse with a couple of WW 1 point dark chocolate raspberry mini bars so not terribly damaging but still not terribly helpful either! :-) I made the decision though very consciously. I told another WW staff member that last night and her response was "I love you, you are human after all!" She's always fighting to stay at goal and I'm 15 pounds under goal and we're good friends so it was really hilarious. I just did not want to get changed, work out, shower and run to work. I wanted to just sit still (and eat) and it worked for me. Today I worked all morning and into the early afternoon and by the time I was home and done with lunch it was almost time for my kids to come home so I haven't done anything yet. I have to run some errands after dinner and then might do at least my pushup challenge and maybe some stretching later but I'm not sure. Tomorrow I'm working all morning, then running errands, then going to my best friend's for a scrapbooking event from 3 - midnight so I highly doubt I'll fit in a workout. Sunday I'm skipping church to get some much needed sleep (I don't skip often so I refuse to feel guilty about it) and going to a church study program in the evening so I will have time for a workout and I might say yes then. I'm taking Sara's "no workout, no excuse" attitude. I could have but I've chosen not to and I'm okay with that. I will definitely pick it up again next week though. I want to and I will. I think I'll plan my workout week tonight and that will help motivate me to get into it Monday (or Sunday). Just wanted to post what I'm not doing but I'm enjoying reading about everyone else's workouts (even if I don't comment on all of them)! :-)

(saying no and not making any excuses about it... what a liberating feeling!)
