Day 13

I absolutely, positively, without a doubt in my entire mind did NOT want to work out today.  The day started early, without much sleep.  Went to breakfast where, besides drinking coffee, I was able to adhere pretty well to good eating choices....and I haven't eaten since I don't think.  Stress compiled throughout the day; one thing and then another...and by 5:30pm I was OVER IT!  I told Corey that I wasn't hungry because I didn't have an appetite.  I also laid on the couch and stated that I wasn't working out today.  Then, it happened.  She reminded me that some people are drawing motivation from me.  It was ironic how reminding me that things I do motivate others actually motivated me.  I immediately put on workout clothes, slipped on my sneakers, and turned on the tv and DVD player.  I attempted Level 2 of Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred, but I began having sharp pains in my OTHER shoulder.  I tried the move again and decided that I couldn't bare the pain. So, I reached for the remote.  Ha! A reason, rather than an excuse, to, you guessed it, give up and try Level 1 :-)  I got it in. Finished it. Felt good after working out, but better for deciding to go against my initial thoughts to not workout at all.  This blog paid off.  It gave me the motivation to stick with it because, not only am I counting on me, but someone else may need that extra push on that one day where they just don't have it. I can be an example of one who pushed through and made it.
