But I did!! I woke up this morning knowing on my one day off from work how many errands I had to get done and that I would not be able to exercise until late afternoon. Being a morning exerciser, this is tough for me. So, I ran my errands, came home and ate lunch, and time kept creeping forward and I still had not worked out. I told myself I knew I would feel better after I did, so I went ahead and did Step Reebok and burned 470 calories!!:drinker: I was very happy with myself that I did that and I DO feel better. On cloudy, cold days (I live in Chicago, so it is frigid here!!), all I wanted to do was curl up and read a book with a mug of hot chocolate. But I forced myself to work out and I am proud!!:laugh:

Hope everyone else had a good day!!

Cheers!!
