A+ Day!! Not because it started out as an A+ day but it sure ended as one. It started as an A day and quickly kicked up to A+ when I found my motivation within myself to get out. It started out with a lazy Saturday with no plans (always nice) but those days you can easily find yourself not doing too much… I was thinking about taking the day off from the gym, just not feeling it… Suddenly I had this gut feeling that I need to get out and do something so I could enjoy whatever it was I did that much better. I always have a much better day when I do something. Hence why I always try to share something is always better than nothing. “something” always makes you feel so much better and your day unfold that much better! I found that motivation, grabbed my things and headed out the door to hit up my treadmill cardio. I had a great visit with some friends at the gym then off I went and busted out my 50 minutes of cardio, taking the day off from training. It felt great!! The gym was hot but it felt good to sweat! From there, I had invested in me, now it was time to invest in my dog. We went to the dog park for a nice walk in the sun before coming home to eat lunch. It was a great day, Got in that “Me” time, doggie time and time to get a little work done and R&R. That is my kind of balanced day. It just felt good to have easily convinced myself to get out and get going. A quick little reminder of how much better I would feel and that is all I needed. Mind you, today, my body wasn’t tired it was my mind. I had to realize that mentally I was holding back, NOT physically.
