Monday...Ugh!

Monday, the most dreaded day of the week. We normally find things to be more difficult on Mondays simply because it's Monday. Today was just like that for me. I woke up to a down pour of rain, which only made me want to crawl back into bed. I didn't. I got up only to sit on my bum all day.

I only got up to get coffee, meals, do a little housework, and take a shower. The boys had appointments with the eye doctor this afternoon so I had to get myself dressed and ready to go. I have to say that getting dressed, putting my makeup on and doing my hair really made me feel good!

By lunch, the sun was starting to come out so the day wasn't a total washout. It was beautiful outside by the time we had to leave to make the appointments. I was feeling sort of bad for not working out this morning but I tried to put it out of my mind. Not a good thing!

However, after dinner tonight, I hopped on the treadmill and got it done! I felt so much better about myself. Things have been pretty stressful for me the past few days and I've found that I feel less stressed after I'm done with the treadmill.

While I was on the treadmill, rocking out to some of my favorite tunes, I couldn't help but think about a few things. I had one recurring thought and that was I should get on the treadmill every time I feel overwhelmed with stress. Some days I'd never get off that thing!

The one thing that I've finally come to fully realize is that I have to make time for me. There is nothing going on in my life that can't wait 30 minutes - nothing! Even my boys can give me 30 minutes.

Alrighty folks, it's getting closer to bed time. I hope you've all kept moving today. See you tomorrow!
