Two days in to this and I already skipped a day. I didn't do it on purpose. We're remodeling our house and we had to maximize my boyfriend's last day off work to do as much as possible. By the time we got done, it was 10:55PM. I know that I really didn't have a valid excuse since some of these workouts only take a few minutes. But I think that climbing our stairs a million times should count for something. I did practice my planking time. I'm up to twenty five seconds, which is five seconds short of what the actual exercise called for. So I was proud of that. And I put a lot of work in to practicing my "corpse pose" from my yoga training. However, despite the fact that I did not do an exercise program, I did watch what I ate. It looked delicious and unhealthy. I ate a cupcake, baked spaghetti, and a roast beef sandwhich. I just have a terrible aversion to vegetables. I am a meat eater. And a cheese eater. I could eat Subway sandwhiches all day long because that's all they basically are. meat and cheese. Why can't I eat vegetables? I used to. I like corn. I like corn on the cob. I make a mean corn salad. But I don't even like corn lately. Does anyone else have a huge problem with vegetables?
I think it's also a mental kick in the ass that I need. I've become very bogged down by my lazy habits. And I know that I can change those habits. I've done it before. In 2005, I used to go to Curves in the morning, go to my swim class after that, then play badminton. And I had PE that semester every other day. But I was extremely healthy for those two semesters. Then I started working and I just got lazier. Now, as basically a stay at home wife, I am so lazy it isn't even funny. I need to get over that.
As for my goal of doing one random act of kindness a day, I gave our handyman some food. Granted, I usually do this, but I also don't leave my house very often to do any random acts of kindness out in the real world. But I figure this counts. At least this way he doesn't get sick because he is a diabetic.
So I know that I need to work on my motivation.
