The Awesome Thursday

      To be totally honest, up until around 3:30, this day looked like a super lazy, pointless one. I had barely touched my messy room and didn't even dress until 1:00. Normally I'd be like "aw, we all need one of those days," but this was like an ongoing thing for me lately. Not to mention I still hadn't worked out (or even began to) at all over the summer. 

      Then, at 3:30-ish, I had this urge to stop putting it off until tomorrow. I had this reaction to stop feeling awful when I see people being healthy and working out. I decided to actually do what I set out to do when I got those health apps and started this blog. I worked out! I got on the exercise bike that has been mocking me all summer and I rode that sucker! I rode that sucker like there was no tomorrow! Then, you know what happened next? Feeling like the super human I was becoming, I worked out to a new app on my phone! I did planks, push-ups, squats, wall sits, I mean I was going all the way to town and then some! 

      All that done in about 22 minutes.

      Okay, so, it took all summer and an unplanned, spontaneous workout mode Mary to do it, but I think I might have jumped back on this bandwagon!

"But Mary, it's only been one day. What happens when you don't want to do it tomorrow?" 

      Well, I got my broski. We're going to motivate each other. Duh.

"But, Mary. What happens when that doesn't work because you've been saying that all summer." 

      I don't really know. I think I can do this, though! I hate feeling lazy and not healthy and cool. So, maybe remind myself of that? I don't know. All I know is I've got this huge support system, both at home and online, and if I flub up, they got my back. For some strange reason, I feel like I got this. Fingers crossed, prayers said, and steps forward!

Woo!
