Day 2

I'm proud of myself today. I worked 11.5 hours and almost talked myself out of going to the gym, however I thought to myself if we get this snow storm like they are saying I won't want to leave my house at all tomorrow. It's not the fact of me wanting to be lazy after work its the fact that I have a dog and I feel so bad having her locked up for so long. Things will be so much easier when it's warm out, I'll want to be outside with her, running her, taking her to the park, however I think she doesn't even want to be out there right now either. When I got up this AM it was 1 degree outside and they said it felt like -11. So once I come home from a long day you can see why I don't care to go back out.
On these long days at work I tend not to eat enough, I missed my lunch, and all I could think of was writing down what my carb and protein intake was and I probably didn't have enough fuel to even make it through a run. I did my grocery shopping after work and bought everything I thought would have good amounts of protein, except for chicken- I'm not fond of its texture: cashews, peanut butter, cottage cheese, pork....
I got home, took my dog out, cooked myself dinner and thought ill close my eyes for an hour and when my alarm goes off ill get up and head to the gym. I started thinking of all these excuses I made and told myself its DAY 2, if I'm making excuses now I just waisted $400.
So I did just that. I went in thinking 40 min of cardio and ill feel better. Besides the fact the man next to me on the treadmill had high amounts of cologne on I had my headphones in and ended up doing 50 min!
Some people hate the treadmill however I'm used to coaches yelling at me and for some reason when I look at the distance I ran or my MPH it pushes me, I just have to get in the zone of people watching an having the right music to run along with.

I'm not going to give up on this I deserve it to myself to exercise especially after a long hard work day.
