To exercise or not to exercise...that is the question...

That was the fight I was having with myself on the way home from work...I am sure everyone does this. After working all day all I want to do when I get home is flop and watch tv and veg...but I know that if I sit down when I get home there is NO way that I would get back up to exercise! I kept making excuses to myself saying "My foot is sore", "I walked the stairs today at work" and "it won't hurt to miss a day"...and then I snapped out of it! If I want to do it this time I HAVE to do it at least every 5 or 6 days...allow myself one day of rest.

So I got home and changed my clothes, put on my tennis shoes and got to it! Walked the treadmill for 1/2 hour at 2.5 mph. Went about 1 1/4 miles and burned 175 calories. I felt great afterwards...and I have to remind myself when I don't feel like doing it how good it feels once your done! I didn't plan my day well today....I usually have my whole day tracked before leaving for work in the morning but I didn't today. I didn't do bad in my eating but I ended up with 3 points left at the end of the day and I don't really think I can eat much more! I have to hard boil some eggs tonight and find my snow boots! I almost killed myself getting into work this morning. My shoes have no traction so I almost did the splits getting out of my car! LOL
