Some days we just cannot do even that 10 minutes I harp about all the time...sorry...not sorry. On those days if we just are so exhausted and overbooked that it cannot happen we need to do two things. We need to first let ourselves off the hook and we need to then look at our scheduling and maybe reevaluate what we said yes to that meant a NO to putting in time for ourselves whether it be ten minutes or an hour. It is that important. Today I got up at 5:20 am to go to the grocery store which meant by the time a workout rolled around I opted for a nap instead. My body did not feel up to working out and I just needed a rest day. It is ok!! I said yes to family duty today which meant I said no to a workout. It is one day and it was something I needed to do. Sometimes that is the case and sometimes it is not. Just do a self evaluation every now and then if it is happening every single day to see where you can carve out some time for yourself.
This whole transformation thing and making changes is hard. I admit that and so should you. You should also admit that ANY progress is better than NO progress. Starting and missing a day is better than never having even started. It is all about perspective and learning not to beat yourself up over the hang ups and skip days or just plain ole bad eating days when a Reese's cup shaped like an egg just ends up in your hand and you have to eat it (the shaped ones are so much better). Keep it all in focus and enjoy the ride stray Reese's and all.
It's ok to miss a day but it is not OK to make a habit of it and then just decide it is too far gone to start back. Pick yourself up and say I am worth it and I am capable. That is all it takes my friends. Grace for yourself goes a long way in accomplishing what you want to get done and also allows you to have more grace with others which is a pretty awesome by product. I love this song and hope it encourages you today to just keep on moving forward with your goals. And you know I love REFIT so here it is ;-)
