Ah ha!

I did it! I actually did it! I am so proud of myself. I've been saying I'm going to do it for over a week now and I finally did what I said I would do. I hate it when I say I'm going to do something and then I don't follow through with it. For me, it doesn't really matter if there is a legitimate reason for not doing something or not. It still bugs me.

And it's no different with myself. Although, I am harder on myself when it deals with another person. But still ..... Anyway, I did it and I feel sooo good about it. I feel like I have energy (although I also want to take a nap, so maybe that's just my head playing tricks on me), I
feel successful and I feel like I set a good example for my children this morning. I;m feeling so good, I'm actually thinking about doing some more of it.

So what did I do that was so good? I exercised. I actually plugged in the simple DVD and I did it. I walked a mile. On an empty stomach. So we didn't eat breakfast until 9:50 this morning. That's okay. I'm hoping that things will go like this: I'll get into the "groove" of exercising in the morning, which will in turn give me more energy. If I have more energy, then I'll start to feel better and be more active. If I'm more active, then I'll sleep better. If I sleep better, then I'll be able to get up earlier (and I'll want to get up earlier to exercise). If I get up earlier, exercising and eating breakfast will be earlier. See what I mean? So we'll "make do" eating breakfast later (which we do half the time anyway), which will take away the excuse I've been making why not to do the DVD, and in the end, it will all be for the better.

That's my theory anyway. Hopefully it comes out to be true more than Darwin's theory.
