However, what really transpired was something much different. I woke up early. Todd asked if I wanted to watch a tv show that we had recorded. I said yes, it was afterall 6AM. I could watch the show and STILL have time to do everything. I flipped on my computer and started to edit pictures from the wedding that I photographed on Saturday. I have only halfway edited and processed the tons of pictures. I started editing. Todd and I finished our show and Todd headed out the door. I was enmeshed in my work. Time passed. I did briefly think about going out for a ride, but by that time I could see the end in sight. I chose to finish the pictures and get it off my plate. I worked right up until I left for work. (all I have to do is burn the disk for the bride and groom and also a disk for the lady that arranged the flowers as she and I had talked and I had offered her some pictures with her flowers).
A conscious decision was made. Was it a bad decision? Maybe. Was it a good decision? Maybe. I am walking with Sherry tonight so I will get some activity in. (If I don’t walk with her, I will go out for a short run). I feel like I made an excuse to not exercise. Realistically, I know that while I spent a few hours on Sunday that since then I’ve only been able to spend a few minutes here and there with the pictures and that they were not going to get done if I didn’t devote some serious time to them.

I need to remember that this is a journey of making exercise fit into my life. It means that when I have other obligations that I adjust to make them work and to STOP FEELING GUILTY! Ok, I feel guilty because I haven’t been on my bike at all this month…and only two runs….yikes…BINGO…there is where the guilt is occurring. But I’m back on track. I ran on Monday, Zumba’d on Tuesday and Wednesday. I’m walking tonight. I’m doing ok. No guilt! (if I say it to myself enough times maybe I’ll actually start believing it!)
I'll leave you with a few of my favorite pictures from the wedding.
