Mmmm, craaaack...Not a good combo when you have your first cardio kickboxing class to plan. Or accomplish any of the other 37 things to get done by Friday. Yanno.
But then a li'l 30-minute core conditioning lunch-hour class broke the spell! It was all I needed to remember that I'm a ninja who can't be kept down. Two lessons learned here:
#1. A quick sweat sesh is kryptonite to Unmotivation. Life bombards us with a gajillion reasons not to go for that run/bike ride/hit the gym/pop in that Jillian video/dance around the house like the next So You Think You Can Dance candidate (yes, this counts... and yes I do this). And the Excuse Monster is Unmotivation's bestie, so beware. Even 20 minutes of anything that gets the blood moving will roundhouse kick those two square in the family jewels... so in the words of my fave brand, JUST DO IT.
My M.O.#2. I'm an endorphin junkie. But really, I already knew this.
And to bring this mood turnaround full circle, imagine my surprise when I apprehensively peeked out my curtains this morning and saw blue sky and SUN - I think I audibly squealed. So yeah, I guess I'm a UV/vitamin D junkie, too. Ah well, there are worse addictions I suppose.
And speaking of SYTYCD... t-minus 6 days y'all... BOOM.
Happy Friday loveys!

ReplyDeleteomg! it's been exactly the same here in nyc re the grayness of the weather - and FINALLY yesterday the sun came out. was in a total funk myself. pulled myself out by getting in the kitchen and trying a new recipe - my favorite cure.
ReplyDeleteso glad to see you're still blogging & pursuing your dance dream - i remember you from when i started blogging a couple years ago, but quit for a while.
