I did NOT want to exercise today. I had a lot of bursts of energy throughout the day, speed walking everywhere I went, running for my life to get to the bathroom after I sneezed with a full bladder ... by the time I got home from battling Annapolis traffic (and its rude, stupid drivers) the couch was calling my name. My usual time to get up and do it came and went as I tried every excuse in the book to not do it.
Well I tricked myself into doing it.
First I told myself, "All you have to do is put on a sports bra and sneakers. Then if you still feel like laying down you can."
So I got "dressed."
Then I told myself, "All you have to do is press play on the DVD. Nothing says you have to do any sort of grapevine, four-knee repeaters, or jog-in-place at all."
So I pressed play. Suddenly the bouncing music came on and the ladies and gentlemen were moving to the beat and I hopped right up and did all 25 minutes of the fat-burning workout and the 5 minute cooldown. (Leslie Sansone, you are a trickster!)
Before I knew it, the workout was over and I was in the shower, and brushing my teeth. And as the water sloshed over my sweaty skin, I suddenly realized the power of my love for others is stronger than any hate that I harbor ... including hate towards myself.
I want stronger muscles. I want to reverse the damage I've done to myself while I'm young. I want to feel good about myself and the world around me. I want to increase those feel-good endorphins and increase my receptors for them. I want to keep having a calm outlook and an ability to feel joy.
