Timing Is Everything

Well, if timing is everything, I'm in big trouble because my timing stinks!  I was so pumped when I decided to start this blog.  I meant every word I wrote. I had every intention of actually starting fresh and taking a huge step in my journey.  Then I got sick...

When you're unable to breathe without having a coughing fit, it makes it very difficult to work out.  While the spirit was certainly willing, the flesh (and my lungs for most of the time) were weak. Unfortunately, I was sick for 4 or 5 days, so I was a no-show at the gym.  The day I was finally feeling better and thought I might be able to make it, was the day that I had to make birthday treats and a cake for my son ~ all before the kids got home from school.  I got everything done with ZERO time to spare, so that hour at the gym simply wasn't an option.  At all.  Then there was his actual birthday, which was filled with cake, ice cream, and lots of other goodies.  This was not exactly the best week to have weight loss revolutions.

But, that's my life.  I have children who have birthdays and play sports.  They need to get schlepped around to practice and games.  I have to attend PTO meetings and help with homework.  They're going to get sick.  I'm going to get sick.  Stuff just happens.  These busy times are the times when it's really easy to just slack off. Unfortunately, this week I talked the talk, but wasn't able to walk the walk.  However, the beautiful thing is that it doesn't matter.  No matter what I did ~ or didn't do throughout the day ~ tomorrow is a new day.  When I wake up in the morning, I know that I can start fresh again.

And now that I'm feeling better, watch out gym, here I come!
