Exercise Day 8 - First Wall

It's Day 8.  I've had 1 break so far, and that was last week.  This week I get 2 breaks, and I had expected to have one of those 'break' days be Saturday because it's supposed to upwards of 95 degrees in Chicago.  So that left one other day, and I thought, maybe Friday! That way I can just chill with my husband this weekend.  Then client meetings got scheduled Wed (tonight) and Thursday evenings and suddenly I found myself debating with myself all day: What should my 'days off' be?

Part of my body was screaming at me to let today be a break.  I've worked out 4 days in a row so far, which is probably the most in-a-row workouts I've done in a really long time.  It wants a break and a good round of stretching.  Then part of me argued against that side because, "it might rain tomorrow" and, "wouldn't it be better to squeeze it in today?"

I know this is a challenge, so it wouldn't be easy or without its difficulties.  That said, I forgot the internal debates that go on in your head when you set your mind to something and part of your inner-self wants to sabotage you.  I had been great for 7 days.  Day 8: Welcome Mr. Saboteur.

So I'm going to have to figure out, after I get back from my client meeting (depending on the time), if I want to squeeze in 20 minutes or just let it be one of my days.  *sigh* These are not real problems.  They are just temporary challenges.  ...perspective.
