I have a scheduled time at the gym with a trainer. *Pats self on back* I go twice a week. *High fives self* Then stuff happens. I’m scheduled for Saturdays and Tuesdays, and last Saturday, I had a meeting that was about 3 1/2 hours long, followed by another meeting that was 2 hours long, and finally followed by a banjo student. Missed that Saturday. This week, I am giving a Leadership seminar. The next Saturday should be all right, but the one after that is another event that goes from Friday afternoon to Saturday at 3:00. Then yesterday (Tuesday) I had something that didn’t agree with me and I got the runs. You don’t get cardio credit for the runs. So, I missed that session too. I have to think that I don’t get any benefit from SCHEDULING training sessions, I only get benefits if I GO to training sessions. No problem, I can make these up. Except I won’t. I’ve missed 4 sessions out of the 8 I scheduled. *Gives self a Dinozzo Slap*
I shouldn’t have to re-evaluate how much getting fit and healthy means to me. That should be a given. It seems to be a given to everyone I admire, then I read their blogs, and I find them re-evaluating! So this is a normal thing, and I shouldn’t make too much of it. The correct response then would be, “Well shoot. Get back on the horse doofus!”
Measureable progress
