I am exhausted! It’s been a long, busy and crazy day! I didn’t get to the gym until 7:30 this morning, and didn’t do my full routine. I felt bad and came home and danced to “Cupid Shuffle” for about 20 minutes until I worked up a sweat. I did make it to work on time, but the day was crazy and computer issues made it a little frustrating. Usually, I eat when I’m frustrated or angry, but today I didn’t. I ate only my planned meals and snacks. I was off a little bit because I didn’t get home until late, so I ate dinner a few hours after I should have, but I did eat what I planned, so I have to pat myself on the back for that. I realized that I absolutely have to stick with my schedule and not allow myself to get distracted, even if that means saying “no.” Since I’m such a procrastinator, I don’t need any excuses to put something off, so the only way to fix that is to make sure I stay on task.
Discipline doesn’t come easy to me, and today is a good example of that. I got to the gym late because I forgot Darlene wasn’t going, so I was lying in bed waiting on her to call. My inclination was to just stay in bed, but it was on my schedule, so I had to go. Also, I couldn’t use Darlene not going as an excuse for me not to go, so I got up and went. I realized that I can’t become too dependent on anyone to achieve my goals—they are mine—and I have to be responsible for reaching them. So I went, and did about a half hour, and then came home and did some dancing, so I got nearly an hour in. But next time that happens, I’m going and doing my full routine. I also realized that I have to get to bed at a reasonable hour, especially when I have a long day the next day. Rest is as important as exercise, so I have to make sure that I am also allowing enough time for my body to rest.
As I clean things out, I’m going to create a schedule to follow so that just like I know what I am going to eat every day, I know what I am going to be doing every day. I mean I schedule meetings, but I need to plan my days more completely. I think this will help me use my time more wisely and make sure I get in enough rest. I’ll do it tomorrow; I’m going to sleep right now! LOLOLOLOLOL
