thoughts on love

in one of the p90x videos you do this ballistic stretch called "huggers" where you swing your arms and hug yourself. tony goes up to one of the girls as she's doing this and says, "how ya doin?" and she says, "i love myself!"

this little scene replayed in my mind today as i was scarfing down a brownie, accompanied by the thought do i love myself? i got all dressed to workout today, stella was napping, no distractions and i COULDN'T DO IT!! i couldn't get motivated to press play on the dumb video. i felt too tired, not in the mood, would rather sit here and vegetate. so i'm wondering...what to do in this situation? do i "honor my body" as we yogis always preach and just skip the workout for today? or do i beat myself into submission and force myself to do it anyway? which choice would show perfect self love?

contemplating that question as i eat another brownie....




on a completely unrelated note, goggle face.
