Fall is in full swing! The leaves on the trees are golden and falling and for some unknown reason it always inspires me to change things up. But changing habits is beyond difficult. When I 1st started my gluten free diet (yes I am one of those annoying people), it was insanely hard to pass up wheat products, but with time I found I stopped craving it and learned to enjoy the cardboard items masquerading as bread. And working out has always been one that takes a few days to get me into the rhythm. Except for this go around. This period of my life seems to be dedicated to laziness.
My lack of motivation has been astounding. I actually texted my friend from the dressing room of the gym, already dressed to work out, asking if I could get out of it! I mean this is really desperate. Maybe it's that I try to tackle too many things all at once. I decide today is the day I will start working out, stop eating sugar and cut back on caffeine. Of course I had 2 cups of coffee this morning...well maybe one and a half since I spilled half of it all over my car. Maybe it is that I decide today I will start working out and will work out every single day from here on out. I mean who can keep that promise? Maybe it is that I'm stressed with work and that has zapped all my energy. Maybe I need an intervention.
Needless to say, I did actually run on the treadmill. I can't say that it was that torturous either. But I can't imagine doing it again this week. Surely running once a week is enough right? It is if I cut back on the sweets... maybe. Which I will do right after I eat these cookies.
