Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
Most of it's Mental
Man, I'm tired today. I think I might be coming down with something, or maybe it's allergies. I don't know. My throat is a little sore. Whatever it is, hopefully my new-found love of all things healthy will pull me through (daily exercise, daily vitamins, clean-eating). Ironically enough, I got a flu shot this past fall and have had the flu twice. I don't usually get a flu shot and I don't usually get sick, but this past winter didn't treat me so well. It's spring now, so hopefully the worst of it is behind me!
Today, I took yet another step into the technological era. I bought a laptop. We just got a new desktop (which I set up yesterday), but because it's so fast, now the entire family wants to use it! Which means I either have to wait or I needed to get another computer. A laptop seemed like the logical option. Now I really have no excuses for not writing! Other than just not wanting to.
I've got a grievance to air (are you surprised?): Since I've reached my fitness goals, I'm always having someone ask me "how'd you do it?", "what's your workout routine like?" or "what diet are you on?". When I tell them how I did it (good old-fashioned healthy eating and lots of sweat equity in the gym), they look at me like I'm a martian, speaking another language. Then the excuses start flowing, "I'm too busy", "I'm not motivated", "I work too much". Whatever. Excuses. They then get going on what TV series they love to watch on Hulu or Netflix for hours at a time. But you have no time to work out? Okay. I wouldn't mind helping these individuals, but they aren't ready to help themselves. I would like it if they didn't make comments about my level of motivation. Yeah, I go to the gym every day. Yeah, I love exercising. That doesn't make me "crazy" as one friend put it. I hope when I'm certified and training people for real I don't end up with clients like that. I will hurt somebody's feelings... if they're paying for my opinion!
It feels really good to be writing again :) I don't have a whole lot of angst going on in my life (I work out too much and have too many endorphins going on to feel angst). Sometimes it's nice just to talk. My diary doesn't care what I talk about or how much I complain. I've avoided looking back at my past entries. I was so messed up back then. I'm almost embarrassed by how screwed up I was. Thank goodness I'm past all that. I don't think I've ever been as happy as I am right now. I feel like I've got a handle on everything in my life and FINALLY I'm starting to accomplish things that I never thought I'd be able to do. Not just losing 92 pounds, but that has a lot to do with it. Most of it's mental. I feel like the world has opened up for me. I've never considered myself a terribly optimistic person... until now :)
