First Law of Motion

Inertia- there is a reason that it is the first law of motion and that people generally consider Newton to have been a genius (although you never hear someone say "he's no Newton"). Yesterday's lethargy and the serious sleep issues I had last night resulted in a completely unproductive (read: spent in bed) morning. I only got moving at one pm after sleeping through 630 am swim and rescheduling a meeting for my movie. I was REALLY tempted to skip exercising and blow off donating platelets- but I had made date with Erin so I got my butt in gear. I worked out and donated platelets (Erin's iron was too low). I felt good that I had done it and it was relatively painless so I made an appt to go back next week. Once I shifted into motion mode, I was back in gear. Went to therapy, called Sam on the way there, spoke to Juliet (attempted to make movie date) on the way back and had dinner with two of the survivor speakers for the eating disorder project. I returned phone calls, made a couple of plans- once I am in motion, I stay in motion. I have to be better about getting myself in motion when I am at rest. I just have to overcome that initial hurdle and I have to resist the urge to regress. Putting thing off until tomorrow often means that I put it off for much longer and it is no way to progress.
To be fair, i do legitimately have a cough and sore throat - but it shouldn't have been debilitating.
I am trying not to dread 19 year old cousin's wedding. I think I wouldnt' be dreading it if I didnt' feel fat and thought I had clothes to wear. I am concerned that my gown won't fit and I need other clothes for the weekend. I could probably drop soem weight fast (lord knows I've done it before) but I am really trying to avoid crash diets and quick fixes. I want to create a solution that I can maintain. I need to do it differently this time.
I am going to try to go to bed early again tonight - I have a lot on deck for tomorrow (meeting, lab, nutritionist, trainer, dinner/drinks with Joan, maybe karaoke and drinks after) and I would like to get it all done.
My therapy homework assignment- write a list of good things I have done in the last 5 years. I dont want to get started on it tomorrow (although I can't do it all now but I will make a good faith effort)- writing my thesis/graduating from college; going back to school- getting all A+s in my undergrad psych classes: "breaking up" with Caleb; starting eating disorder movie project-- to be continued
