Monday

Right now it's Monday, 6:50 pm.  Dinner isn't finished, and I know the later it gets the less likely I'll want to get that DVD out.  The kids came home at 12:20 instead of the usual 3:20 due to snow, which wiped out my normal afternoon routine.  I PLANNED to workout.  Instead, they came home and we made 4 batches of slime to put in baggies for the 4th grade class Valentine party tomorrow.  I'm not ever going to do that again, so it's a one-time excuse, right?  :)  We just learned the kids will be off all day tomorrow and I have to figure out a way to make this work.  They don't mind giving me time to work out, they actually encourage me, so it's really up to me to make the move.

In an effort to make myself more accountable I need to get this blog out there so I'm hoping to post the link to Facebook tonight.  Somehow seeing 0 comments & followers is a little less than inspiring.  Maybe someone else is struggling to put themself first (or at least closer to the top of their list) and we can help one another stay motivated.

I'll try to update again tonight.  My goal is to say I worked out, but I honestly am not feeling it, and my expectations are low.  I'm tired, and the beautiful snow falling outside makes me want to just curl up and watch the fire and maybe some TV with the kids.

Update-----I DID IT! 
Blog posted -- Check!  And I already have a couple of followers.  Exciting! 

We ate later than normal, I had old and new messes to deal with and I felt frustrated that I hadn't gotten the workout over with earlier in the day.  A little before 10 I sat down on the couch and decided, "It's really too late to get started now," but then I hopped back up and DID IT!  Woohoo!  Surprisingly, I had tons more energy than I had felt all day.  I'm not sure where it came from.  It's my favorite workout, so that helped.  It felt GREAT!  I don't know if this is good for an evening workout or not, I am always a night owl so sitting here at 12:36 not feeling like going to bed is nothing new.  But I wondered if the ass kickin' 10:00 workout & 11:00 shower would get me so wired I would never want to go to sleep.  The kids are off tomorrow for a snow day and I know they are going to want to let me sleep in a little, so I'm sure I'll be fine. 

Starting week 2 tomorrow!
