You gotta do it

I only got 5 hours of sleep in last night, and I'm a little tired today. My back is bothering me (I think still from my terrible chair at work), so I'm just a little achy and slow moving. It actually turned into a beautiful fall day, and I made a nice big batch of red sauce, and I have spiced cider brewing in the crockpot. The house is filled with wonderful smells, and I'm relaxed in my oversized leather chair with my feet up, watching a movie. All I want to do next is lay on the hammock, underneath the beautiful fall leaves, reading a good book.

BUT I must work out. It's not a choice, it's a must. I've decided that today I'll go hiking for my workout. Now that the sun has decided to come out, I can enjoy the sights and sounds of autumn while getting my daily workout in. It's not quite as appealing as my hammock scenario, but I know it will be rewarding, and plus - I can read my book after!

I was down 1 more lb today. I miss the days of being down 3 lbs overnight, but I'm going to need 1 lb/day to get to 14 lbs in the next 2 weeks, so let's hope I can keep up the losing pattern. :)
