Make it a priority

I often overbook myself. I start the week saying "I'm going to keep it simple." But it never fails ... tea with this friend, a meeting with that person, and an appointment with another important someone. Well today, I didn't make it to the gym. Why? Because I didn't make it a priority. I'm not sorry I met up with my friend after work. I'm just sorry I didn't book a different time ... like AFTER my workout. You see, I am more "in the zone" when I head to the gym immediately after work. And I KNOW that about myself. Most of the time I can get motivated enough to get my workout in, if I get sidetracked after work. But today was NOT one of those days. The meeting I had was GREAT! But when it was all done, I was tired, hungry, fighting traffic and I decided SCREW IT ... I'm going home to sit on the couch. And I did ... feeling a bit guilty ... but what I learned is I must remember that my workout is my first priority ... everything else can be scheduled around it. One thing I didn't ignore ... my eating .. I still had my clean meals! That took away some of my guilt!
