Sculpt 5/6

Oh man... I SOOO did not feel like doing a workout this morning!!! My crankiness from yesterday was still around this morning, and when my kids actually had a fight over the last mini-donut on their breakfast plates... I lost it on them!!! For the little one (6 yrs) to be screaming at the top of his lungs, "I want that donut!!!" over and over.... I just wanted to shove him outside into the cold and let him scream himself out out there instead of inside the house.

But I just told them to break it in half and split it. And then gave them an earful about not demanding to have all of anything. About them having so much of everything, and they shouldn't fight when there's still plenty of food left. Just not the donuts, but still...

And if it really came down to it, we did have more donuts. But I wasn't about to pull out more after that screaming episode- because it would just teach him that there is always more, more, more... and to never appreciate what he has.

So anyway, once I got them off to school (whew)... I was NOT in the mood to do the workout I had planned for the day. All I wanted to do was sit down and do NOTHING. I wanted to just surf the internet and do nothing productive. I wanted to sit down and cry. I wanted to go outside for a walk. I wanted to eat ice cream and chocolate until I was sick. I wanted to get out and run and run and run until I fell down exhausted. I wanted to crawl out of my skin.

But I made myself get up and do the workout. Told myself that I had to at least do HALF, and if I still feel the same way by the halfway point, then I could just call it a day and shut it off. But once I got going, I did okay. I'm not surprised about that- because that's how the workouts ALWAYS work (unless I'm truly sick with some illness)- they always make me feel better once I get going. So I finished the workout and at least for 40 minutes, I got out of my doldrums and felt okay.

I still have to get over my crankiness today though... and hopefully not kill my kids before the weekend.... but at least the workout is done and my body will be better for it. And I don't have that little bit of guilt to follow me around if I had skipped it this morning.

Of course, I'm not anything near perfect or sane because of my workout. Afterwards, I sat down and had some chocolate.
