Terrific Tuesday Morning

Well our temp is not exactly 66* like yesterday but 75* is terrific too....way better than 115* let me tell you!  Yesterday was a good day- I stayed on track with the eating, came home from work, and fell asleep on the couch.  So much for exercising!  Today there are no excuses.  I WILL get some movement in my day.  I don't have to block out 30 or 45 minutes or an hour.  I can just start with 10 minutes walking around the house if that's what it takes.  I can do a few crunches on the floor while watching TV or jogging in place.  Whatever it is, it will be moving my body.

In their book Body Clutter, Marla Cilley (The FlyLady) and Leanne Ely (The Dinner Diva) have a chapter called "Excuses, Excuses!!"    By saying "My weight hasn't changed in 15 years"--that is an excuse AND perfectionism, because by saying that, [you're] really saying, I'm not willing to change.  And being unwilling to change is simply another way of being paralyzed by perfectionism because if you can't do it right, you're not going to do it [at] all.  

This really spoke to me.  Wow.  I have yo-yo-ed up and down for OVER 15 years.  I lose 10 or 20 and boom, it's back on.  This time I lost but haven't put it (all) back on and then some.  I'm proud of that fact but I can't stop there.

So today is a Terrific Tuesday.  Hope you have a terrific day too.

Kitzilla is definitely planning for a terrific day:
