The Default Is Always Exercise
Ever have one of those days? For no particular reason at all, you don’t really want to bother watching what you eat or doing any exercise. What do you do?
Get on the floor and do five or ten push-ups or sit-ups, or get on your exercise bike and get your legs going for one minute. Then re-assess: what’s next? Maybe you stick with floor exercise. Maybe you put on some walking shoes and walk around the yard. Then you decide it’s a nice day so you’ll go for a longer walk. Or bike ride.
Or maybe you’ll just stop. That’s okay as well. Exercise is always the default to get yourself moving in the right direction. Maybe you’ll find out you can do more sit-ups than you thought.
It’s important that you think about why you didn’t care about your exercise or meal plan. Are you coming down with something? I’m currently battling a Supercold, so I know how that can sap your good intentions. Are you feeling down about something? Is it a small setback? Or is depression slipping up on you? Whatever the reason, being active beats sitting and thinking you’re not worth anything. When it’s one of those days, getting the blood moving is the way to get going.
What are you prepared to do today?
