Every Little Bit Helps

Don't you just love it when you've completed a really tough workout and feel physically exhausted and mentally victorious. That is a great feeling for sure but it doesn't happen for me nearly as regularly as I'd like. Unfortunately, more often I am feeling mentally discouraged because I didn't fit in the workout I intended so I don't bother to do much of anything physical at all. Wrong. I'm trying to learn that everyday doesn't have to be a marathon. Some days are, and that's great but when one of the millions of things happen that keep me from a good work out occur, I don't have to chuck the whole notion of exercise, I can still do SOMETHING. Stopping in the middle of the day for some leg lifts or arm circles or running in place for a few brief moments can still count as exercise. Sometimes that's the best I can manage and that just has to be good enough. Maybe tomorrow will be another "marathon" day.
