Goal weight: 195 lbs.
This morning’s weight: 222.6 lbs.
Monday’s a day I’m supposed to run 30 minutes. I ran 41 minutes instead. I ran a little extra to make up for any overeating I did yesterday during the Super Bowl. (I really was pretty good — I ate three slider (tiny) burgers, four chicken wings and some fruit). I stepped on the scale when I got back and I had lost two pounds over the weekend. I’ll take that.
Getting up this morning wasn’t easy. Four-thirty is sleeping late compared to my normal 3:50 wake-up call, but I could’ve used a little more sleep. Honestly, I’m very tired. But it was all about self-discipline. What I do when no one else is looking. You see, no one would have known if I had skipped running this morning. I could have lied about it to you and said I did. But if I hadn’t, I would have been cheating no one but myself. So I got out of bed and huffed and puffed in the cold morning air.
We watched the movie Courageous and Forever Strong this weekend. Both had VERY strong messages of the importance of integrity. If I am going to succeed at anything, I have to stop cutting corners. I have to do a little bit extra. And I have to stop cheating myself and others.
Monday , being the start of the week, is when I set the tone for the rest of the it. Today, I chose integrity. The man in the glass expects no less.
