I'm stuck! Yes, that's right, freakin' stuck! I wake up with good intentions and perhaps get through about 1/3 of it and then just stop...let me recount my illustrious day.
Today, I woke up and attended a coffee with a good friend at my local coffee shop that I've been frequenting for over 15 years (and I've contemplating buying, but that's a story for another day). It was a quick coffee today because I am attempting, once again, to get my even bigger butt back to the gym. I recently purchased a 10-pack of 30 minutes personal training (and only because the original offer was like $550, but they were having a 'special promotion' for 1 day only, so I got it for $350 - woo hoo, saved $200 bucks!
Got to the gym, did my 30 minutes hoping my knees wouldn't crap out (more on that another time too!), and felt really good, went for a short walk to keep up the cardio momentum and returned home, bright eyed and ready to go!
Ready to go to what? Ahhhh, yes, haven't cleaned my bathroom in awhile so since I was feeling so energized, I decided today was the day for scrubbing the mildew out of the shower and off the tiles, and fully wiping down the shower glass (which definitely needed it). And hey, since I'm sweaty and scrubbing away, I'll even take a shower while I'm at it too!
Lunch time - yeah, not a salad like I was thinking because I didn't feel like going out to get one, and I HATE MAKING SALADS! Did I mention I hate making salads? I'd rather go out and get one. My imagination for making a salad is extremely limited and boring - I'm definitely NOT one of those chef salad making people. So, microwave mac and cheese and a ham and cheese sandwich, followed by pretzel sourdough nibblers...yummmmmmm, and definitely NOT part of a nutritional program.
After that, my energy waned, and I mean wannnnnnneeeeeddddd. I watched a movie which actually depressed me because, unfortunately, I can relate to it a lot. "Revolutionary Road" starring Kate Winslet (LOVE her) and Leo DiCaprio (he's fine). Wow, a great, depressing movie about lost ideals, desires and the specialness you feel when you're younger and ready to conquer the world - all of which I could relate to.
So, watching the movie made me reflect on my daily choices and how I can't seem to get up and go and get things done. I'm sure we've all felt that way, but when it becomes more of a daily thing, one begins to wonder...eventually I wandered about the house for about 5 minutes, made an iced coffee, took 2 pieces of Halloween chocolate candy from the pile and waited outside for my middle-schooler to come home. We sat outside together for the 5 minutes until a bee chased my child back into the house! I was looking forward to hearing about someone else's day to try and break up mine - damn freakin' bee!
Well, I finished my puzzle (only had about 20 pieces left anyway), and waited for my other 2 children to come home. One, a slight hypochondriac to be honest, has been experiencing 'diarrhea' for the past 3 days and lets EVERYBODY know about it and is now asking me to call the doctor. Seriously??!! If you actually had 'diarrhea' you would've lost several pounds, keep crapping every 5 minutes and never make it to school. There's a small bug going around the school...I'll see how it's going tomorrow morning.
Well, I'm now writing and thinking, "Where did the day go??!!" - What about yours?
