I slept in this morning, and then kept drifting back to sleep as I tried to catch up on favorite TV shows by watching "On Demand" on Comcast. I thought I might call this my day off from exercise. After all, the DVD literature and Leslie and Shaun say to take one day off each week. However, I had always intended to make that day Sunday, the day of rest! I kept telling myself I would go down and get on the treadmill instead. After dinner, as Bob was making popcorn, I almost gave in and thought I might as well also have some popcorn. I could almost feel the kernels touching my tongue. But at last!! Something inside me snapped and I marched myself into the bedroom where I tied on shoes, and then went down to the treadmill in our basement family room.
At last!! Thank goodness! I didn't really enjoy the treadmill; it was like a medicine I knew I had to take. But I did really enjoy the feeling of openness and energy I had a few minutes after I finished. I could feel my lungs. I could feel my muscles.
Now here I sit, freshly showered and smelling wonderful. I thank God for helping me today, and for friends who encourage me every day. I'm going to fill my water bottle and see if I can finally stay awake for the latest NCIS show. Good night.
