I don’t have much to write about but I feel like I should write something so I stay in the habit of writing.  I worked out hard Monday – Thursday, and I’ll be working out again tomorrow and Sunday.  So today is a rest day.

I had a moment of pure bliss this morning.   I saw my gym bag near the door while I was getting ready to head out the door.  I normally would, out of guilt, put my gym bag in my car just in case I felt like working out.  I would have known that I wouldn’t actually work out, but somehow at least having it in my car made me feel like I was trying.

But today, I saw the bag and thought, “No.”  I had to give myself a day off.  I couldn’t allow myself to work out today.  I had to leave the bag at home.    It was a feeling I can honestly say, I have never had before.   It is a wonderful feeling, and I have to say, I look forward to feeling that way more often.  It’s a lot better than the feeling of guilt from not working out when I had planned.
