Taking A Break

I've been a bit "off" lately.  I've been at the gym at least 5 days a week for the last several months.  But for the last few weeks, I've had some things going on in my head that have had me distracted.  I've been there physically, but my mind has been a bit preoccupied.  Nothing major, just some comments I've been getting that are starting to bother me.  Anyway, my trainer has picked up on it.  I thought I was doing a good job of covering it and working past it, but I guess not.

So, I've been told to take a break.  Not a long break, but a break.  He doesn't want to see me in the gym tomorrow.  He doesn't want me to think about the gym tomorrow.  Shopping, manicure, massage... all suggestions that he gave.  It's become such a habit for me that it's going to feel strange to not go to the gym on a Wednesday morning.  But, he's seeing something.  So, taking a day off to re-focus is (literally) just what the trainer ordered. I'll be back at in on Thursday.

On a side note, I did something yesterday that I should have done a long time ago.  I took a "before" picture.  Admittedly, being 30 pounds in doesn't exactly equal "before", but it's a start.  My 20 year class reunion is in 9 weeks.  So, I took a picture of myself in the dress that I'm going to wear.  I plan on taking a picture once a week until the day of the reunion and hopefully I'll see a difference! If I ever figure out how to post pictures on here, I'll be sure to share!
