I woke up feeling depressed today. I felt exhausted and unmotivated. After just one day I’m ready to stop. I wanted to bake cookies and eat lots of chocolate. I wanted to stay in bed and sleep... But I got up. Changed and dressed Wesley, put him in the “wrappy” and did an hour on the elliptical while the older kiddos were still sleeping. I had some date rolls and walnuts before exercising, just three. The kids woke-up, we read a little “Jack and Annie” and Mother Goose, then we headed out onto the path for a run/bike ride/stroller ride. I felt so so so much better after just 30 minutes on the elliptical! Exercise is an awesome mood booster! I started thinking how sad it is that so many people don’t exercise regularly (I wish more people did--I’m certain it could change their lives drastically!) I’m doing just fine today. I can do this.
