Monday's Activity
After work, I had to go down to Little India to buy a saree, as I'm going to be attending a Hindu wedding later this week (photos will come after Friday!) As a result, I didn't get home till it was pretty late. Here's a fun story about my lack of exercise today - after I got home, I figured that I had enough time between then and when the sun would set (I don't go running after dark. Despite living in a relatively safe neighbourhood, the street lighting isn't great, and the park has almost no lighting on trails). Now, as you'll recall, I lost my Nike Plus chip after the 10K, so I had to go buy a new one. As I went to put it on my shoe clip, it just WOULD NOT fit. I tried everything to make that chip fit! It took me like, 20 minutes to finally realize that the reason I'd lost my chip in the first place is that the little clear plastic cover had also fallen off. Therefore, I need to buy an entirely new clip as well :( By the time I figured this out, the sun was on it's way down. Aargh!!!!!
I know. It's a pathetic excuse for not exercising. I could easily have done an exercise DVD after the sun set, or gone running without the chip. Sigh :(
Long story short, Monday's activity was ZERO. And as a result, I felt like a super blob of lard afterward (not a fatty blob of lard, just a blobby blob. You know what I mean :P
The Results
- Tracked food: Yes!
- Got all my GHGs: Once again, almost, except for oils and a 1/2 dairy...
- Got moving: Sadly no.
I hate that I keep having to write down anything in red in that "results" section during Motivation Challenge. This needs to change!!!!! I don't want to feel blobby anymore!
Do you have lame excuses to not exercise? How do you get over them?
