Today I put myself first

Anyone that knows me on a personal level knows that I am always putting others first.   Whether it was an unhealthy relationship that I let dominate my life, or the political arena that dominated for the last ten plus years.  I faced a tough decision tonight.   I didn't sleep well last night, as a result missing my morning cardio.   Time was tough to find tonight, I know that I can't do cardio much after seven or it messes with my sleep but I had a visitation at the funeral home to be to shortly after work.  That would mean my workout would be after 6:30.    This basically struck out a cardio workout that I know I need tonight, but left me with the opportunity to do another workout instead or completely abandon my workout and attend the 7 PM political meeting that was very important.

I made the tough choice, I switched my workout into posture, foam rolling and 20 minutes of squats and completely abandoned my political meeting.   This was a HUGE emotional step for me to conquer, I put ME first.   Yes there will be some people disappointed in me that I didn't attend the meeting this evening, but if I want to succeed in my journey I need to put myself first and ensure that my workouts come first.   

One day at a time........
