The rebel in my head
Man! I'm just dragging my feet in my work today. I think I need someone to pick up a paintbrush, put it in my hand and make it move over the canvas. Blah.
I went out for my first walk this morning, the one in which I do my running and again...did NOT want to do it. This seems to be the theme for my day. But I said, "Shut up Katie and just DO IT!" I'm so glad I did. I walked/ran my 4 mile loop in 57 minutes and I ran 21 of that with more vigor than I usually do. I think it's a seriously good thing I don't run on the weekend, walk only-I felt good out there today.
Sometimes I feel like a pre-teen. I want to stomp my feet and say, "No! I won't do it!" Which is all very odd because, seriously? I WANT to do those things. I'm noticing a pattern here. After I weigh in on Sunday and can see how all of my work paid off, I think that when Monday hits I'm all, "Crap, I need to do it again." Which is silly, and honestly I don't actually feel that way. I'm excited for what this new week will bring. I think that my mind keeps looping back into my old ways, finding a place where it's comfortable, and where it will stay comfortable until I remind my mind that NO, things are different now--THIS is the way it's going to be today, and from now on.
And so, I'm going to get back to work. I'll show my mind who's boss!

Plus it looks like it was a lovely day where ever you are.

it's so easy to revert back to being a pre-teen or even younger and throw a fit isn't it? but how lucky are we that we have bodies that function fully! that we can go out into that amazing scenery you have and relish every moment of being fully alive! I admit it's hard for me too sometimes, but lately I just think, "wow, I am so lucky! I don't want to lose this EVER" Back in December I messed up my back (after having a foot operation I had just recovered from) and let me tell you it was so depressing to hardly be able to move. I never want to take advantage of my body again!
I'm sure by now you've already shown your mind who is in control here!
