Weekends are my downfall. I don't know if it's movie nights, date nights or just the fact that my kids are home so I don't feel I can spare the time to exercise. Or eat right. I did NOT eat right this weekend in the least. I've been keeping close watch and recording everything and both Saturday and Sunday I went over my calorie goal. Not majorly, just over. Now on a normal day this is no big deal because I exercise away those extra calories. But if I just added a bit more fruits and veggies to my weekend intake I'd be ok having skipped my workouts and wouldn't end up going over.
A lot of people dread Mondays, but I LOVE them. Mind, I don't enjoy having to get up early again. But I do love that my Mondays are always a new beginning. A fresh start. I finally have time to grocery shop, I have time to clean up that mess the kids made ALL over the house and most important I have time to exercise.
Exercise just makes me feel good, physically and emotionally. I am able to focus on my life and complete that list we all have. If I don't exercise I get so much less done because I feel like my day has never started, so I tend to laze about the house and before I know it I'm supposed to be making dinner.
Exercise = Productivity=Happiness for me and my family.
