Tired today

So, I did go to the gym and do fifteen minutes on the treadmill this morning. Not a whole lot, but any bit helps and it helped keep me in the routine. I did feel better after I was done and I did feel like fifteen minutes wasn't long enough, but I was on a bit of a time crunch because I needed to meet Kendelle to go out to Tuscon. Her mom was throwing a baby shower for her and she didn't want to go out there by herself so I got to tag along.
I had to view this shower as a real-life challenge as I don't live in a bubble and life will be full of baby showers and wedding showers and stuff. So, I didn't do as well as I'd hoped, but I did a lot better than I would have in the past. I had a cupcake, but I started at the bottom and didn't eat all the frosting and I had one small (very small) piece of cake (I actually cut a third off of a piece and had that). I didn't completely avoid them (like I probably should have) but normally I would have eaten two cupcakes and a regular size piece of cake and taken home the candy that was the prize in the game (I won a full size snickers and a baby ruth) and a couple of the cookie take-home bags.
I realize this is a marathon and not a sprint and there will be pitfalls and better days and worse days, but I just have to keep on truckin' and remember that it will all be worth it in the end, when I'm hiking or when I'm shopping or when I'm getting married or whatever.
I heard this phrase today and I'm thinking of adopting it as sort of a mantra. :"Good health is the foundation for all other good things" I want good things for my life so good health is essential. Part of that is sleep. It's time to make that happen.
