Today's 'best I can' moment came when I woke up. I realized that my dog would be stuck inside all day while I was working a double. My roommate will be home but I cant expect her to entertain him. Sometimes he can be a little needy for affection and I don't blame her if she wants to be put the gate up and keep him in the kitchen or put him outside.
So the first thing I did when I got up was put my running shoes on. This doesn't seem like a huge feat to anyone I am sure, but for me I have slight anxiety when it comes to exercising. My fitness routines at one point were obsessive and out of control. Now every time I think of being fit again I am afraid I will lose control and do too much or have a panic attack that I didn't do enough. Today's run encompassed maybe 10blocks and it was perfect. My dog is still panting and my legs are buzzing. I did the best I could and I actually feel like I did something for my good for my body. Its a really good feeling to be happy about that.
