Yesterday, my husband decided to invite over his best friend and his girlfriend for dinner. So, instead of sticking to my guns and walking after work as I planned, I stayed home and started to make dinner while the three of them went to the gun range to shoot. I kept telling myself, "They will leave and I will work out." When they did finally leave, I was exhausted and I skipped my workout. Instead of being on 5 consecutive days of moving, I am starting over at 1. So, this morning, the first thing I did was work out so that there were no excuses or interruptions. I certainly learned my lesson.
The other part of the lesson that I am learning slowly and surely is to take time for me. Being a working Mom, I come straight from work to spending time with two energetic toddlers to cleaning the house and then I fall straight into bed. My Mama reminded me this morning that I should want to be on this journey because my health is important and the way I feel and care about myself is important. Basically, I have not taken time for me and have not shown that I value myself. Along with the weight loss journey, I am going to begin to incorporate other aspects of ME into the equation.
