I woke up late, didn't have an outfit picked out, didn't pack my bag. I was late waking up. But I made it happen. I picked out an outfit to wear for the day. And also to pack to change into for the gym. I was committed to making it to the workout, because I had made the appointment. And even though I was late waking up, I got my bag packed and made it to the work out.
I had scheduled my free workout with the trainer today. I had rescheduled it a couple times. I started out on Friday. But then moved it to Wednesday because friday is too busy. I wasn't sure if I should do it at 4pm or 4:30p or 4:15p. It is a whole hour workout but that is pushing it when the day care closes at 5:30 and I get off work at 4:30. So I got off work a little early so I could change and get the whole hour in before the 5:30 pick up time. So I went at 4:15p.
It definitely helps packing the bag the night before. But I failed to do that. I didn't let that stop me. I pushed through and made the commitment. Sometimes it is like that. The circumstances aren't perfect but you do what you got to do.
Make it happen.
So the trainer had the workout planned. Some arm exercises and some abs exercises. I did learn a lot. I had not done those exercises before. I listened to my body and he was guiding me on how much weight and reps to do. He encouraged me to push to a failure to finish the rep rather than stopping too early. I have the tendency to want to stop when it gets a little uncomfortable, because I am not uses to using those muscles and haven't felt what it is like to push myself in awhile. I think the more I work out the more I will feel the vibe of pushing past the hurt.
This week I made it to the gym 2 times. Monday and Wednesday. That is meeting my goal. Along with a mile walk around the neighborhood Saturday. And then I will complete my goal.
Reflecting on this week, some days were better than others as far as going to sleep on time, doing my chores and nightly routine and waking up on time, and working out. These are all the areas I am focusing on to meet my goals. Little by little it will be come a habit. I just have to push though and make it happen even when the circumstance aren't perfect or I just don't feel like it.
Make it happen.
