So I woke up this morning planning on doing a lot today. But then the weather was not cooperating with me. I did get a lot done prep wise, but I didn't get much done in the exercise way. I am not trying to beat myself up about it. I even had a huge cheat meal, which I am still full from.
Sometimes our bodies say hey slow down rest and that is what happen today.
I took my brother grocery shopping and when we got home I made my salads up for the week, made mini turkey meat loafs. I cut up a lot of veggies, packaged my snack, and precook my spaghetti squash for the week. Afterwards I didn't feel like making lunch for everyone so we went out to a mexican resturant and had an late lunch early dinner. When I got home I felt like taking a long hot bath and thinking I would take a short nap and then get up and work out.
Well my short nap ended up being almost 5 hours of sleeping. So now it is 8:30pm and I still need over 8000 steps to meet my goal for the day. My mind is saying get up and move, but I just can't seem to make myself do it. I still have laundry to get done and put away and I feel lazy.
I don't want to just rest on the fact I have done great this week, even taking one day off could throw me for a loop. But then again our bodies have a say in what we do, We must listen to it at times. No today was not the day my mind wanted, today is the day my body wanted. Yes at times we can't listen to our bodies and we must push, so that it changes.
I am still going to get a few more steps in tonight, but I am not going to push myself to hard and I am not going to feel bad about not meeting my step goal today. I am going to take this day as the day it was suppose to be.
