I was in this major battle today. I was fighting this mind bender (I'd be a much better at describing this sort of thing if I had played Dungeons & Dragons rather than worked when I was a kid). My thoughts were being warped with this clear message, you need sleep. I fought that message back by concentrating on the reality that I had only been up once helping my girls with errant blankets last night.
The next attack was that I might as well sleep a bit more and bike because family was visiting so I may not be able to bike tomorrow. I really didn't get a chance to fight this thought except I realized that I'd rather swim than bike this morning.
The final thought as I lay in my bed which seemed to get warmer and more comfortable by the second was that I already missed my workout by laying in bed so long. I opened my eyes and focused on the clock projected onto the ceiling and it read 5:02. So I had plenty of time.
As I got out of bed, got my stuff and headed toward the door I was just thankful that it rained all night and I wouldn't have to scrape my window. I took two steps toward the car and nearly turned around because my car was a sheet of ice. The scraper was even worthless. So I turned on the car, listened to Christmas music, read email and waited.
Then I swam in celebration of all the winning I'd already done this morning.
Feels good to be a winner!
