Getting back on track
I’m writing this blog in blue because that’s how I’ve been feeling lately. I really messed up this past weekend but a good buddy (thanks Kait) reminded me that I just have to get back on track. So, I had an off weekend, big deal. It’s time to put it past me.
Somehow that sounded good in theory but I seemed to have slipped into a funk and couldn’t shake it. I hadn’t exercised in 5 days. Yes, you read right, 5 days. Pretty pathetic I know. Funny how easy it is to fall out of routine and how hard it is to get back in it!
Anyway, Kait sent me an email and I read it yesterday. Unfortunately, yesterday was a busy day (at least that’s what I told myself) so I didn’t get back on track. Today, I decided NO MORE EXCUSES!!!!!!!!!! I got back on my Gazelle today and was instantly reminded of how much I love it and how good I feel after a workout. After 5 days of nothing, my muscles were a little slow to get moving so it took me about 35 minutes to do my 2.5 miles. BUT, I got it in and I have to say I feel much better.
I’ll be going out of town this weekend, so I plan to do my workout right after breakfast tomorrow. Hopefully, we’ll be back in town Saturday evening and I can get in another one then. But, if not, at least I only miss one day. I was doing pretty good there for a while (working out nearly every day) and just sort of lost my momentum.
Thanks again Kait for the encouragement, motivation and reminder to get gazelling again!!!!!!!!!! Buddies like you are the very reason why I joined this group.
That’s it for today. I’ll let you know if I get off track again.
Well, unfortunately, you will have these moments from time to time…
But Kait is right…
You must pick yourself up and get moving again at some point…
If you think about the grand picture…5 days in the whole of your life is really nothing…So keep on moving girl!

Glad to hear that you’re getting back on track and not beating yourself up too much over not exercising those 5 days. We all slip up, the important thing to remember is that you can get right back on track.
May you always feel God’s presence and strength to help guide you!
