Well, made it to the gym last night. I was so proud of myself! I wasn't in the mood to go but decided to take the 'action' of going and follow my feet there no matter what my brain wanted to do. Once I got there, I rode the exercise bike. About 15 minutes into it, I was ready to leave. But, finished out my time on the bike. Then, I decided that instead of going through the weight lifting circuit, I'd go to the bathroom and then go home. While in the restroom, I reminded myself that my arms and belly wouldn't get any smaller if I didn't work the muscles and that I'd do myself more favors by going through the circuit as opposed to going home. SO! I finished in the restroom (which is right next to the children's daycare and could've easily picked up my daughter and left for home), and headed for the women's workout room. Yep! I actually complete my entire workout for the day! I felt so proud of myself for listening to my positive self talk and not giving in to my negative self talk. I had reason to pat myself on the back!
Today I plan to go after work again! It's kind of a new approach to view weight loss not by 'dieting and exercising' but by saying 'I have a gym membership, use it!' and where food is concerned, I try to buy healthy and just prepare meals from the healthy food that I have instead of trying to follow a program. Now if I can just get that water in me!
