I woke up at 5:30am this morning. Wide awake. You know those mornings. Stupidly I did NOT get up, instead I refused to admit I was awake and dozed for a while. Then I didn't want to get up at all!
Still, it was warm (ish) and sunny today and with my half day off it seemed bearable. After a fire drill and several cups of tea my work day ended and I was FREE. What did I do?
I procrastinated on Facebook forEVER. Overnight I got 100+ likes on facebook.com/diaryofapoleaddict so of course I had to make a pretty picture to say THANKS!

And then I had to check my personal page. And then I had to stare at the screen. Then I'd put it off enough, it was gym time.
It's always catch 22, I LOVE going to the gym but since I was so sleepy and wanted to sit and do NOTHING moving to get TO the gym didn't appeal. I even took some "look, not gym clothes selfies. Oh I'm SO COMFORTABLE".

See, don't I look COMFORTABLE!!? Then I considered moaning about it on EVERY social media page I have, logged in, found I had a LOAD more people following my page and thought "huh" and stopped thinking about what I didn't want to do (move) and instead, thought about what I did want to do (feel awesome!). So I did.
I'm sore from yesterday and I'm sore from the day before but I managed to get out of the gym before my buddy Kate, who is a PT at my gym saw me. The last time I saw her she'd been walking off saying something like "oh don't worry, you won't be able to laugh tomorrow once I'm done". Ominous. That's all I have to say. When a PT says something like that, you got to make a QUICK exit ;) so I snuck out.
Of course when you've worked out you're PUMPED UP AND GOOD TO GO. So what did I do? I tidied away all of our DVDs and books (because they take up space we don't have and we never use them). Then I found a blind I'd been asking Simon to mount for actually over a YEAR now, and thought, you know what. I'll do the bloody blind. So I did.

Rather than wait on someone to do something I'm perfectly capable of, I gathered up my girl-power, grabbed the power-drill, a hammer, a phillips screwdriver and a set of pliers and got to it.
Simon came home to me sat in my knickers trying to cut the cloth to the right size. He was a little bemused, but you know, skin washes better than clothing...
And we have a perfectly almost even blind in the living room now - my neighbours no longer have to watch me pretending to dance round a pole (oh don't look like that, you do it too) or walking around in my pants trying to find my clothes (I'm not a clothes-tidy sort of person. They tend to be almost anywhere in the house. Especially if Dave has commandeered the clothing for whatever nefarious purposes he has).
*RAWR*

So anyway, I had a lapse in motivation today - but it ALWAYS pays off to kick yourself into gear.
One of my favourite quotes talks about "if you're having a hard time going out for a run, then just start by putting your shoes on. Then go to the door. Then walk for a bit. Then run" and sometimes, breaking it down to such simple terms is really the best remedy.
How is your #Mondaymotivation? Just in case, I'll pop this picture in - I always find this picture and things like it help me get up and get going!
