just doing it

I tend to be an overthinker.   with everything.  I talk myself into some pretty ridiculous excuses

.. well, I ate a big lunch, so I might as well skip the gym. guess I'll have a big dinner too!
..I haven't eaten anything today, so I might as well skip the gym.
..my favorite yoga pants are in the washer, so looks like I'll have to skip the gym!
..it's raining outside.  guess I can't go running!
.. it's really sunny outside, so I should probably skip the gym to avoid being seen in such harsh unflattering lighting..
..darn I ate gluten today.  I guess I'll go ahead and eat more!
..I have a canker sore in my mouth, so I better have ranch and cheese on my salad, rather than a burny vinaigrette.
..welp, I snuck a piece of candy before breakfast.  looks like there's no chance to eat healthy today!

the bull shit I come up with.

last night, my roommates wanted to go to the tabatta class at the gym the next morning.  I almost started making excuses..

..I've had 2 glasses of wine already.  I'm going to be way too tired to work out in the morning if I keep drinking.

So I stopped drinking.

Then I woke up this morning at 7 and started making excuses again..

..the class won't end until 10, which will make it impossible to get to work on time.

So I packed a bag so I could shower and get ready at work.

..I didn't eat yesterday.  I won't have enough energy to do such an intense work out.

So I ate a damn banana and went to the gym. 

And loved every second of it.

milepebbles, but progess, just the same.
