I did get exercise today, but not of the "formal" variety.
Our newly implemented lunch break program almost fell apart today. I, however, refused to let this happen - at least to me. It was a very busy day at work today and we were, as usual, understaffed. But when noon rolled around (12 is my scheduled time) I took my lunch and went to the park. After I was done eating I walked around the block twice, which took about 25 to 30 minutes. I did not really push myself but I wanted to move a little bit. And I did.
Then I had a work crisis occur and I was so p@%#!% that I took another walk around the block!
Then I had my WFS meeting today at 6:30 so I did some walking (and phone talking) before the meeting.
So, as I said, none of this was formal, get the heart racing exercise. But I still moved about!
I am giving myself 57 gold stars for my emotional health today, though. As I mentioned, I had something really infuriating happen at work - coworker related. And through my anger some of the first thoughts that popped into my head was "Problems bother me only to the degree I permit them" and "I am a competent woman". Those are a couple of affirmations that are the core of the WFS program. And I realized that in the four months I since I have joined the group, I have apparently really learned something! Yes, I'm upset. But this is not really my problem. So I am not going to obsess. And I am NOT going to worry. And I am competent. So there!

Another good for you here! You just have to let some of that stuff go in one ear and out the other. I'm trying to learn that, too. Not always easy though. Hope you have a better day today.
Thanks. I think I will. And you are right. My boss knows me and the kind of person I am. So what if this one guy is a jerk. That's his problem, not mine.
And, yeah, he tried to make it my problem. But it is still not.
