baby steps
I went to the gym both yesterday morning and today. Yesterday I had to push myself, but today it was easy; I got up as soon as Mike did, put on my gym clothes before I took the puppies out, and was out the door heading for the gym right after he left for work. I only had time for 20 minutes today, but I'm going to adjust my morning a little bit tomorrow and see if that will give me the extra 10 minutes I need to get in 30 minutes of cardio. I didn't do a good job of getting things ready last night, and I think that's part of why I didn't have as much time to spend at the gym. Twice while I was looking for things I had to stop and force myself to slow down. Both times it paid off - instead of wasting more time flurrying around trying to find the lid to Mike's coffee mug or my shoes, I stopped, took a breath and collected myself, then was able to look around calmly and find what I was looking for instead of continuing to overlook it because I was in a rush.
