Today was one of those days when it really doesn't suprise me that I'm overweight. It was a day full of intense stress, 8 year old children in tears or threatening to hurt themselves, and excessive M & M's knicked from the secretary's secret stash. It was a day where I felt completely and totally useless.
I can't fix everything, that much I know. But I'm a Libra and I like balance and frankly, in my job, in this particular school I work at, there is none. It is constant chaos -- and that is putting it mildly.
And yet, I feel as if it's all just one big fat excuse not to be better than I am. I am very good at making excuses. My best ones at the moment have to do with making it to the gym. By the way, I've finally figured out that I'm never going to make it there in the evening after school, so my new commitment is going to involve going at least 3 days a week in the morning. I seem to do okay dragging my arse out of bed at ridiculous hours. And then the 4th and potentially 5th day will be whenever I choose. I'm even going to allow myself to choose walking the dog (provided I actually walk the dog!) if I choose. A good walk though, no cop outs.
And who knows, maybe 99% of my stress will go away when I start working out again..........
That's all from the trenches,

I hear you, I hear you and oh yeah on the school, I TOTALLY HEAR YOU. I've started just trying to do things I enjoy for exercise. Mostly riding my bike and I force myself a few days a week to go to the gym for strength training. But if it's going to be something you do regularly, I personally have to enjoy it.
We never renewed our gym membership because my husband never went there unless I went with him and I would always find an excuse not to go. Now I am finding excuses not to go to Tai Chi class.
I hope that you find yourself dragging yourself out of bed early often to enjoy the gym :)
Thank you
