starting the week off

i was worked up sunday night – didn’t play hockey (no game) so i was holding some excess energy. so i knew i shouldn’t play cards. but i sooo much wanted to. so i compromised and dropped down a level and putzed around. had a great time, made a couple of buy-ins. yay for fun.

today everything ran longer than it should have by a wide margin, and i had my phone in the car (which my wife took to work) so there were things i didn’t even have a shot at accomplishing. still, i deliberately went into work late because i decided to take the time to get a workout in late this afternoon. might have been my best decision of the day.

when i’m working out say, every day, my metabolism is up, things weigh less, i move lighter, i eat less because i don’t like feeling big lumps in my stomach when i’m jumping around, and everything is like a wheel in motion.

when i stop for a couple of days, it takes a good bit of willpower to start those circumstances in motion again. i’m sooooo glad i didn’t just pass on today because then passing on tomorrow would be even easier, and so on.

thought i’d have to work on a computer issue tonight, but the wife got everything in order before i got home. so . . . off to the virtual card room
