Exercise is the best medicine

It's Monday. Brargh.

I had one hell of a day at work. My workload is high, I'm training on something new, plus the sales reps I work with are doing all kinds of crazy complicated things that fall back on me. Then we have Masters in a couple weeks, and the paperwork involved is just hurting my brain.

So I came home with a serious headache. Did not feel like working out at all. Then to make it even harder to get motivated, my husband was there and we spent some time lying down on the bed just hanging out, talking, laughing, goofing off, etc. Well after a few minutes I just decided to suck it up and get to it. I got into my strength workout, and even did a few extra things to demonstrate what I was doing to my husband, who came in during the second half of my workout. He gave me some good feedback on what I was doing and said he noticed some definition in my shoulders and back (Really? Because I don't!) By the end of it I was out of breath, covered in sweat, and best of all - My headache is gone.

There's days when I don't feel my best. As much as I can, I try to push past the suck and get my workouts in. I don't always overcome my desires to be lazy, but I do most of the time. And I think that is a small victory in itself.
