Tali's Journey - Days 29 and 30

I am feeling so good.  Why is that you may ask.  Because I worked out this morning.  Why should that make me feel so good you may ask?  Well, because when the alarm clock went off this morning, the last thing I wanted to do was get out of my comfortable bed and go workout.  I didn’t have much sleep last night because I didn’t go to bed until midnight.  I stayed up so late because I slept from mid morning to mid afternoon yesterday and didn’t get really sleepy until midnight.  But yet, I set my alarm for 4:45 a.m. as usual.  When it went off this morning it was a very rude awakening.  I slept through 3 snooze alarms before I literally dragged myself out of bed at 5:15.  I don’t have enough words in my vocabulary to express just how hard it was for me to get out of bed.  My body was screaming for me to let it sleep for another hour, but I fought hard not to listen.  Not only did I workout, but I increased my cardio from 20 mins. to 30 mins.  The 20 mins. was just getting too easy and I knew I had to up the time, but I’ve just been too lazy.  So, today of all days I chose to increase the time.  Of course I followed the cardio with my strength training. I can’t tell you what a psychological boost it was for me to workout today.  This month has gotten off to a very shaky start for me.  I’ve been off my meal plan more often than not and my workouts have been a little spotty.  But, I’m determined to turn all that around for the rest of the month and this morning the tide started to turn, and I feel damn good about it.
