A good day! 
You know, sometimes you get off work, even when it's been a good day, that you feel tired. Maybe everyone on your block blew up fireworks until 2am the night before. Maybe you just didn't wake rested. Maybe you hadn't worked hard enough in the race to actually collapse from exhaustion. Maybe it was warm and humid, and the animals were acting erratically.
A person might be forgiven, then, for considering not going to their mat pilates class. Wouldn't it just be nice to have a quiet dinner at home, do some yardwork, and early to bed? Rather than rushing a snack, running across town, and then needing some wind-down when I get home?
Well, I went to mat pilates, and inspite of the instructor swearing up and down, right, left and center about how we were going to have class tonight, at 10 til it was just me and one other person. No sign of the instructor, no sign of anyone else. At 10 after, it was still just the two of us, so I went to a new yarn shop and picked up some yarn.
Disappointing! Here I had gotten the gumption to go, and, I get nada!
...
I gotta get serious about this walking thing. I need to figure out step one, but I'm not entirely sure what that will be. I expect it will have to do with heart rate training.
...
I biked in this morning. I really missed doing it over the last couple days. It took me 17 minutes! At least, if you don't count being stuck at stoplights. Wuhoo!
I'm wearing a new skirt, I'm being very productive, I'm feeling relaxed—all in all, a good day!

Have you checked out "Fit and Fat" by Sally Edwards? I really like this book. It's whole premise is that you can be (obviously) fat and fit, and her program is all about heart rate training. It's great!
