My Body Doesn’t Recognize It
Cute and perky people!!!
I don’t know about y’all, but I’m having trouble posting and responding to things this week. I’ve been missing getting to talk to my cute and perky people!
But…I thought I would tell you about my run last night.
Don’t let this scare you, but…Not-so-perky-Adina made an appearance last night!
I took off for an evening jog. I don’t know why, but I didn’t really want to do it.
The whole time I was changing my clothes I was thinking, “Gosh. I really don’t want to do this.”
Then as I was putting my shoes on, a million things I needed to do flashed through my mind. My thoughts drifted to, “Man, I don’t want to run.”
I stepped out and it was COLD. I ran back in for my jacket. “Stupid cold weather. Stupid jogging.”
I took that first step. “Man. This sucks.”
Midway through the jog, and I know you think I’m about to tell you the euphoria took over. It didn’t. “Dang potholes. Stupid street.”
Toward the end, that euphoria still hadn’t kicked in. “I don’t want to run today.”
But four miles after I left, I was back.
Good heart rate.
Good speed.
Good distance.
Got it done.
And I was free to enjoy the rest of my night.
And when someone comes to me for help today and says, “I just don’t like it like you do,” I will just smile.
I don’t always like it. There are days I loathe it. But I have yet to loathe being fit.
Because my body doesn’t recognize when I’m in the mood or not.
It’s all good, and it all counts!

There have been times when I don’t wanna get started too, but one thing is for sure; I have never regretted doing it.

people say mind over matter, but sometimes the mind can be a hinderance. Motivation comes through your action and that is awesome, no matter what your brain is thinking
