day three: laziness conquered

Last night I stayed up longer than I should have, but such is the curse of having good company in the evenings. It was really hard to get out of bed, what with the bed being the perfect temperature, my body having contorted itself into a most comfortable position (my head and feet perpendicular to my normal position, my head resting on a bank of blankets and pillows rather than my one head pillow and my legs in an Indian-style position), and all my muscles screaming as soon as I moved to shut off the alarm clock. I groaned, rolled back over, thought quickly about whether or not an extra half hour of sleep would still leave me enough time to get my morning exercising in.

Then a half hour later, the same process happened again. And again another half hour later. I finally crawled out of bed an hour and a half after my original alarm went off. I started to slip back into "slacker Gina" mode and thought to myself that since I was exercising two times a day, one morning off wouldn't hurt. But then I realized, I'll regret and feel guilty about that decision all day. Plus, if I didn't move around a little bit, my muscles would only tighten and I'd hate myself more as I hobbled throughout my day. So I finally decided: yoga.

I rolled out of bed and grabbed the lightest breakfast item in my fridge: yogurt. Chocolate whipped Yoplait yogurt, to be exact, but there was a slight problem. It had gone moldy. However, the newer backup cup of yogurt in the fridge saved the day. After that, some internet surfing, and a glass of water, then fully awake, I settled down to a fifteen minute yoga workout DVD.

It. Felt. Amazing. I am so proud of fighting off that urge to just take a morning off and instead doing what I know I need to do to make this schedule and exercise plan work. There will be no slacking off. Yes, I technically slacked off by sleeping in, but I made sure to fit exercising in regardless!
