You can run but you can't hide...reality check.

I was having this 'great mom' moment where all four kids were under control. I was helping three of the four with homework and life was good. My 10yr old son then turns to me and says "mom now I'm not saying this to be rude, but um you kind of look like you're getting pregnant again." Hmm ok. Well coming from a kid it is his honest observation. Hello reality check.

In SPITe of....

In spite of the fact my left brain is yelling GO TO BED. I've already been to the gym at 5 this morning and put in a full day of kids and work. My throat is killing me. In Spite of all the excuses I am putting my shoes on and training for this half marathon. I've committed and I'm going to be about it not just talk about it...right D?

Don'T THINK

Just DO. I can't think about getting up at 5am to exercise or else I talk myself out of it. Nor can I think about the 5 miles I need to crank out tomorrow night because again I would talk myself out of it. In this book I'm reading he calls them "dirty little tricks" and they actually work! Tell yourself "I'm just going to put my shoes on" after they are on then say "ok ill see how I feel after a bit". And then after a bit you say "ah hell I might as well finish".

Have a great one!
