taking an exercise break

I decided (as I bent over to turn on the PS2) and my back was hurting and my body generally sore, that I'm going to take a break today from my 30 minutes of DDR exercise. Thoughts in my mind? "What, this breaks the streak." "If you do this will you gain weight?" "What if you don't do it tomorrow too" "Is this a good idea?" "I'll have to eat less" "My tracker will be mad at me because I said I'd do it every day" But the one thought that came to my head that I'm going to hold onto is one that is kinda inspired by Meghan--I'm not going to legalistic and rigid with my life goals. It's ok to take a break every once in awhile. I've been exercising non stop. Maybe my body needs a break. Even if it doesn't, it's ok. I've been faithful in everything else. And there will be a day, in the future, that I'll have to take a break and "break the streak." It might as well be today when there isn't so much riding on it.

I'm actually thinking of revising my goals to 6 days a week, with Wednesdays (my volunteer day) off. That's probably a good idea. Anyway, I'm leaving on the side of the road self doubt, rigidity, and angst. I'll be ok :)
