“I have two options right now – eat candy or workout”

Luckily, I chose the latter (I must admit I downed a starburst afterwards though!).

I was sitting on the couch and couldn’t stop thinking about the candy in the drawer. But I knew I needed to get my workout in. I realized that I only had two options, and they would take me down two very different paths. If I chose the candy, I probably wouldn’t have stopped until they were all eaten. Then I would lay down and veg some more and find a way to be “too busy” for my workout. If I chose the workout, I would feel much better about myself, sleep better, and make better food choices for the rest of the night. Why is such an obvious decision so hard sometimes??

Here’s to the good decisions we make, even though they can be very hard sometimes.
