Just do it

I know I know, the Nike tag line, "Just Do IT"  This morning i was tired, and my bed was comfy but I drug myself out, and did a 30 mins kickboxing workout.  I am SOOOOOO glad I did that. I am so energized, my mood is elevated and I am able to deal with not so nice people.

So tired, sick, just cannot motivate yourself?  Get over you, and just do it!  I promise you will be glad you did!
