My First 20 Minutes

I did not want to do my 20 minutes of activity yesterday. I was (still am) exhausted due to the fact that my kids have not yet adjusted to going to bed earlier even though we have to be up and out earlier in the mornings. I know we'll adjust but the first week is brutal in that respect. We did our family walk after dinner, but I don't count that as my activity. It was 8:30 after we put them to bed (almost 10 until they actually fell asleep) and I just didn't feel like doing my own activity....but I did!! YAY ME!

I have to say that the only reason I did it was because of that silly chart. I have 20 minutes of activity as something I need to do on an everyday basis, so I did not want to mess it up on my very first day. So I dragged myself over to the treadmill and pushed myself through 20 minutes of walking. It was tough, mentally. The treadmill is pretty boring, but I did it and it felt good. I know I will do it today because getting over that first hump was pretty motivating. Hopefully it gets easier.
