Fake it til you make it

So, I really wasn't feeling working out after being in class from 8:30- 3:15. )Now I know how my students feel at the end of the day.) I just wanted to go home and crash out. Problem was I'd told a friend we'd work out today and I told the kids I'd take them swimming. Well, the friend texted, "Are you still going?" That small text was just the nudge I needed. I got to the gym and though my friend wasnt there yet, I worked out for 15 minutes on the thredmill doing walk 2 min and run 2 min alternating. Once she got there we went to zumba for 30 min. After that I took the kids to the pool. I even got in and played around a bit in the water. It was great. By the end I was telling Shonda (who joined us out there) that I'd had fun. I was glad I'd went... though I had to drag my butt out there. Like my daddy always says, fake it til you make it.
