Is it selfish to go exercise instead of spending time with your children?

Monday...What more to say!!!

This morning, and most of all day, I felt pretty blah.... I tried to suck it up though - because we all know that "big" girls don't cry ;-)
I did not feel like going to the gym. I was counting the hours. I was thinking: "I did not eat as good as I would have wanted this week-end, let myself go...so what's the point?" Why put myself through this much pain? I could just go home, relax and watch tv.

Around 11h30-lunchtime, something happened. Something that has never happened to me in all the years I have been working: I felt like going outside for some fresh air and for a WALK!!! Yes you read right LOL, a walk. So I did.

I have been exercising for 6 weeks now. Today was the beginning of my 7th week.
That makes 19- 1 hour session with a personal trainer completed...
89 sessions to go :-)

Something is definitely changing in me...come on I went for a walk because I felt like it!!!

So anyway, I went to the gym, sweat for an hour and 30 minutes.
  • 15 minutes on the bike
  • 1 hour of weights focusing on the legs
  • 15 minutes on the bike again

Oh the pain I felt in my calves and still felt as I was walking up the 3 steps to my front porch...

But I feel great, I feel triumphant! I had some loud music on in my car for the drive home and sang and dance all the way! I am simply in a good mood.

Turelou!
