the victory of self love

This is not about a size or a weight, but about a feeling. I've recently started up my latest attempt to get the healthy lifestyle I want for myself. Part of this for me, has been a promise to prioritize my health through exercise. I've been in my living room, working out, at 5:50 am, 11 of the past 12 days. I'm on a schedule to workout 6 days and then skip a day. Everything was going perfectly! Until it wasn't. Today when I woke up, there was no way I was going to do my workout. At all. Not even partially. Not even a little.

Normally, I would have spiraled into self judging, and spent all day berating myself for being such a failure.

Not today!

Today, on my drive to work, I thought of ways I could get in my workout. So when lunchtime came, I had a plan and did 20 minutues!!! 10 minutes more than my plan!

So I am doing a victory lap!!!! My biggest success to date is loving myself enough to accept a mistake and make a plan to still reach my goals.

Yea me!

Awesome! Those are some of the best NSVs!

Yeah! That is exactly the way to be successful, too. It is important to have a schedule, but it's never going to be long term life change if you aren't able to adapt. Congratulations, that is a HUGE nsv!

Sometimes it isn't about the destination as much as it is about the journey.
