Part of the Rebellion

So I set goals for yesterday while I was at work and wrote out my goals for the day on an index card. They read as follows:

Today (8/7) my goal is to solidly run the first mile of my 5.25 miles and get all my miles in - in under less than 1 hr 30 min.
Drink at least 10 glasses of water.
Eat at least one fruit or veggie at lunch

And I am proud to say that each of these goals now bears a green check mark of completion.

My first mile I ran at a steady pace in 6 min 50 sec. I finished my first 5 miles in 50 minutes and then had a 5 minute cool down with the remaining quarter mile. This means I exceeded my goal of finishing the 5.25 miles in less that 1 hr 30 min.
I drank 16 glasses of water throughout the day (9 through the work day and 7 during my workout).
I had a cup and a half of assorted fruit with lunch and happily skipped the deserts in the cafe.

So I feel incredibly accomplished. And to think I almost skipped the workout. I didn't get home until 10:50 from a gathering of the theatre club I am a part of. I was feeling very tired and just wanted to crawl into bed, but I walked past my husbands computer chair still debating whether to put on my workout clothes or hop into bed. I told him I need to workout. He said something along the lines of okay or have fun and that sealed the deal for me. It was the little push I needed to put on my workout clothes and hop on the elliptical. If he had commented about the time or that he was tired I know I would have used it as an excuse to write off my workout and hop into bed. So I'm really glad he didn't. 

I hope you all have a great day!
