May 25
Sometimes when I ask myself to do something that is a real push, it is easier to do it at the end of the week, right before the weekend. I know that I am going to be able to be more relaxed after this last day – sort of like a last push. Seems easier that way.
Case in point: I got a semi-free membership to The Edge in Ramsey at one point because they were trying to beef up their membership to sell the club, I think. They had this great 6 am step class at the time and it was offerred on Tuesdays and Fridays. I started with Fridays because I knew I was done wth my week after that. It was really torture at first, but I knew that Saturday I could sleep in. I was over the hump. I ended up getting so energized by it, that I often opted to do some grocery shopping at the 24 hour Pathmark right there before the class! One thing lead to another, and now, years down the road, very early mornings are when I prefer to do most of my exercise. That’s how I found The Celery Farm at dawn and the inspiration to do these writings at all. Who knew it would lead there?
