Today my son has a follow up eye doc appt at 8:50 that both my husband and I are taking him to then going on to work later. Perfect!! That meant I could get to the gym at 4:15, and take my time, even stay past 6:00 AM if I wanted....yes!!!! So I set everything out, turned on the alarm and even went to bed pretty early last night.....
Well the best laid plans and all that jazz.......I ended up waking up TWICE last night and staring at the ceiling both times....the second time being around 2:30 am. I thought well hell....by the time I fall back asleep....IF I do....the alarm will go off shortly thereafter. I know my day at work is going to be nuts once I get there...I'm realllllly quite from DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) from hitting legs really heavy with my weights yesterday and the three workouts I had in less than 18 hours the day before.....
In that moment, I thought nope.....the sleeping in will do me more good than blearily hitting the gym at 4:15 and being exhausted and even more sore once I do get to work.
Sure, had I gone would I have been able to "shake it out" of my legs with an easy cardio session? Quite possibly...... But now having slept in till my body was naturally ready to wake up, take my time getting ready, had time to have breakfast with my boy and now having a little down time before taking off for his appt.....I'm feeling refreshed and ready to face the day head on.
Choices.....sure, i need to stay focused on my goal and my routine....but there are just those days where "life" and let's be honest.....SLEEP over-rule. As long as its not constant, it's all good...and rolling with the punches is all part of the game so to speak.
So onward and upward into Friday!! Gonna make it a great one, got LOTS to do around here this weekend that will give me a non-gym workout, and I will hit the gym this weekend as well.
Make your Friday and weekend a great one too....and make the choices that are right for you. :)
