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!

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!0

Sometimes it isn't about the destination as much as it is about the journey.0
