Inertia

(from Jenn)

Well, I was doing really well the last two weeks, but then... we had company and we went out of town.  Starting last Thursday, we started eating crap, and we didn't really stop till yesterday.  I also haven't worked out since Thursday, unless you count walking around the Pittsburgh Zoo.

I was so excited yesterday to get back to the gym and back in a routine.  I was planning to take a 30-minute core class and then to spin for an hour.  Unfortunately, work was crazy and traffic was terrible and I was five minutes late.  And I didn't feel like waiting around for 45 minutes for the next class.  And I was overwhelmed because the house was a mess, and I had stuff I needed to get done in the kitchen, and I still had to finish my work report...  So I left.  I bought some groceries and headed home, thinking I could finish my report and clean the kitchen and maybe go back to the gym for a swim or something.  But when I was almost finished with the report, I lost all my info and had to start over.  And by then I was crying.  Not so much because of the stressful day, but mostly because I wasn't feeling very good about myself after our weekend of sloth and gluttony (a bit of an exaggeration, but still).  And all I wanted to do was work out and it didn't happen.

And then today...  I was planning to swim before a yoga class.  But it was thunderstorming and the pool was closed.  And I didn't really feel like going to the gym just for yoga.  And I still had stuff to do around the house.  So I didn't work out... again.

So basically, I'm demonstrating inertia.  You know, an object at rest tends to stay at rest?  Yeah.  Now I just need to figure out how to overcome this...

Tomorrow, I have a ride to go to, which would normally be great, but what if it storms again and we can't ride?  I need a SOLID back-up plan.  Hmm...
