Day 35 - Hectic day

Today was a hectic work day. Worked from 9 to 5pm without a break. Was famished and knew would gorge once I reached home and then may or maynot go for the workout. Decided to have a mcdonald snack wrap on the way home (also to help prevent a hunger headache). Once home, changed and went for a walk (yeahh!). Was also implementing NB's advice about not running everyday :), so made it a little easier to go.
Walked around the area to see the Christmas decorations. For one subdivision, the lighting was amazing, each house's topping the other. Considering that we are trying to go green, the energy spent was wow!. But I loved it! Delightful!!

Way to go! I think those are the hardest days to exercise--the ones where you've already been working your butt off and just want to toss out on the couch. You beat that hurdle...awesome.
