Day 2, hurray!!!!

Wow, a second post! We're already further along than I often get when I decide to do these things. I think I need to commit to posting at least one sentence a day just to form the habit. Seriously, how can I justify not doing that.......stay tuned, you're likely to find out.

Anyhoo.....One of the things I've mustered up some enthusiasm about recently is exercising. I started a couple weeks ago and I am snuggled securely in the warm embrace of the honeymoon period of that commitment. It's awesome....exercise endorphins without the feeling of walking to the gallows every time I make that left turn into the gym parking lot. It's beautiful....that brief period of blissful ignorance where you can't imagine quitting and wonder why you ever thought it was hard before......if only you'd known it was this easy you'd already be a size 6. It's so adorable what idiots we can be in this stage isn't it?

I just have to keep reminding myself not to confuse the ease of walking into the gym I have right now with the good feelings I have walking out - the two will soon separate and I will begin to tell myself it will just make me more tired and cranky if I go. I will say I don't have the energy to deal with it after a long day.....I have a big day tomorrow and I can't be tired, and since I feel so exhausted just thinking about going to the gym, surely actually working out would make me catatonic. I just have to keep remembering that's not true. I need to remember that the feeling you have walking out is utterly separate and vastly different than that sinking feeling you often have walking in.....I must remember.....I need that little voice in my head to stay.......actually I need a great big voice with some lightning and thunder telling me that, a lion-king-esque dealy with a big James Earl Jones voice chanting 'REMEMBER...Remember....remember............."

Well, that's unlikely to happen....I'll just need to keep reminding myself not get too high off the honeymoon stage so I don't crash as hard.

Wish me luck.
