Day 12!

When Regina and I met on Wednesday I had told her that I was concerned that I had no time on Friday and Saturday to work out.  She asked what was getting  in the way and I came up with dentist appointments, work, obligations.  She told me in a matter of fact tone that I needed to move something and make room.  Not an option to not work out.

OK.  Dentist appointment moved and a one and a half hour window created for this morning at 7:30am. 

This is normally doable but my sister was visiting and we stayed up until 1am talking.  I knew I had to get up early but I didn't want to give up the  rarity of time alone.  So,  five precious hours later, I was dragging myself out of bed and driving to the gym. 

I felt so great afterward because I had kept my commitment.  It is now mid afternoon and I could use a caffeine injection but I will get through.  The point is this:  the way to change is through my thinking.  The commitment to myself has to be a priority or little compromises here and there add up to disappointment and frustration.
