Broken Promises?


 We made some promises to ourselves on New Year's Eve, so how many of those promises have you already broken?

Hey, it's okay to admit it if you have! In fact, I have already sort of messed up one of them.

So, let's talk about this. I told myself I was going to do 15 minutes of cardio, twice a day, every day my husband was at work (5 or 6 depending). I got one of those hula hoopy things- the new popular ones that fasten around your waist and have a ball that moves in a circle around you as you "hoop". I planned to NOT do this on days my husband is off, because it's kind of loud and my husband has sensory issues with repetitive loud noises.

I started off strong... 5 minutes to the left, 5 to the right and 5 minutes of squats alternative with arm work with 2 lb weights and a 20 minute walk after dinner. Day two I did 7 minutes left, 7 right and finished up with squats with weights then an 18 minute walk after dinner... today?

Well today I did not exercise. Ok, I did the walk, but I did not hoop, I did not squat, I did not pick up my weights. To be fair though, I was cleaning literally ALL DAY. My first of the year PURGE. I moved furniture, I swept, I swore, I sweated... so I mean, I did burn some calories. 

Do I give up? Fuck no! Imma go grab my hoopy thing tomorrow and get back at it. That's the beauty of promises to yourself. If you break it, you can fix it. You just have to go do it.

So every one of you who have already fucked up a little, it's okay! You're human! (well most of you are) and you just go and start it up again.

You got this! I got this! We got this! Now go do it! <3

Until next time,

Latcho drom and Baxtalo Nevo Bersh! (Happy New Year)
