Revenge

So to make up for missing so many days of exercise in a row, I went to exercise class this morning.  It was REALLY hard to get up.  Harder than normal.  I was super emotional last night (see my regular blog) so I didn't get to bed until REALLY late.  Plus I had to get up to feed PK.  So it was REALLY early for me. 

The combination of not having exercised for 5 days, staying up WAY too late and... it being my time of the month.... (cough, cough) today was ROUGH for me.  I seriously felt like the weakest in the class.  Last time I could do EVERY push-up required.  Today, I couldn't do any.  I had to do every single one on my knees.  (Not that it's a bad thing AT ALL, I just have been working hard at doing them "regular-style".)

So I left the class feeling defeated... but really glad that I got back on my horse and am back to exercising.  The pathetic thing is how quickly you can return to old habits.  It's SOOO hard to make new ones - and SOOOO easy to fall back into them.  One time on The Biggest Loser, I remember one guy saying "I've been eating healthy for 4 months now.  I haven't had sugar for 4 months and I've been exercising every day for 4 months.  I'm not going back to my old habits."  The doctor tried to slow down that thinking in telling him that even though he'd been working hard for 4 months - by just going on vacation for one week (eating bad and not exercising) - he could be completely back in his old habits.

Bottom line - IT'S NOT FAIR!!  But that's just the way it is. 

So stinking it up in exercise class today was I guess my body's way of showing revenge for neglecting it this past week.  Oh well.... exercise class 1 - Kristi's body - 0.
