Well, I almost failed at the exercise streak challenge on day one. LOL...sad huh? Just as I was preparing dinner, my fiance's father stopped by last night. It was a nice surprise visit, and the kids love having him around. However, it was after 8 o'clock by the time he went home. So I had to hurry and get the kids ready for bed. They had to clean up all their toys before they went to bed, so I finally got them all settled in around 9 o'clock. (I started a new rule that if you don't put it up before you go to bed, then it must be trash...and gets thrown away. Seems cruel, but its very effective.) Then I cleaned up the mess in the kitchen. All said and done, I was finished cleaning and everyone was settled by 9:30 pm. My fiance was playing a video game, so I put in my headphones and started up my MP3 player. My intention was to study for one hour and then try to get in some sort of exercise since I didn't do it earlier. Well, my modules that I was studying for my research paper course took more like over an hour and a half to get through. So it was 11:15 pm when I finished that. I was thinking, "Oh, it's too late to exercise now. I'm tired. I just want to sleep." I got up to check on the kids and the clock said 11:20 pm when I came through the living room. Well, you know what I did? I sucked it up and did 10 minutes of exercise in the partial darkness of my living room at 11:20 pm at night. That's what I did. I was super proud of myself for sucking it up and doing it. I really did not want to report that I had not done exercise the very first day of the streak challenge! So, I did it. Yay, me!
On another note, I wrote about finishing my school work that I had procrastinated so long on a couple days ago. The school work was a couple of essays that I just did not feel like writing. Anyway, I turned them in and they already got graded and sent back to me. I passed both of them! Whoo hoo! And one of them even had a comment on it where the evaluator had written, "Excellent work!" Wow. I am so proud and super happy that I have one more class under my belt. :)
