Day 139 – Week 20 – 20 mins

I struggled a bit this morning. Slept in late, then was lying in bed with about 20 pages left of the novel I was reading, just as the rest of the house started stirring.

At that point I could have got up and done my minutes and been ready for breakfast at about the same time as everyone else OR I could finish my book instead, and still make breakfast – but I wasn’t going to be able to do both.

In the end I knew that I couldn’t actually physically move from bed without finishing the book (there was a mystery to be finally revealed after hundreds of pages), so the book got read, and then I decided I would live with being late for breakfast to get those exercises out of the way.

But this is the thing, you are constantly having to make decisions about what is your priority (as you can tell, for me, finding out what happens at the end of the novel will ALWAYS be the priority!) but I could cope with being late for breakfast, even though it means having to explain to others that I had to get the exercise out of the way. And as I’ve said before – for some reason I am often embarrassed about doing that.

But I think I’m finally getting better at it…
