It is Friday!! This is good because I have had a week of Mondays :( I have pushed myself this week both in diet and exercise, so I decided to take today off. I also go to work earlier on Fridays, so I get up earlier and it really throws me off. I didn't walk today and at this point in my day I am usually between 6500 and 7000+ steps. Today I am at 2362, not even half of my daily average. While I do feel a sense of letting myself down, I think it was important for me to allow myself a down day.
Tonight is an eat dinner out, flop into bed and read kind of night. Somewhere in there we walk the dogs and let them run, but I'm half tempted to just have them run in our room tonight. Kat and I have a night w/o kids tomorrow night, and we are looking forward to it! I am hoping that by getting some rest today, I'll feel more engaged and present with Kat tomorrow :)
I am learning how important down time is and it isn't necessarily being lazy. I get the comment all the time that people get tired just reading what my schedule for a day is. I have always thought that I had to be busy. I am now learning that I don't have to be busy all the time, it is ok to just sit and let the exhaustion wash over you w/o stressing about it.
So given that I am making this a down day, I am keeping this short. Keep moving towards your goals :)
