Day 4

“Today I didn’t even have to use my A.K.  I got to say it was a good day.”

Thank you Ice Cube - without you I…well…I would be less happy today.  Today seemed more “routine” then the last few days which is good for me.  I’m a creature of habit(s) for sure and when something becomes routine then hopefully it sticks with me.  After a long day of work, I had a list of things I had to accomplish before bedtime - one of course was to head to the basement.  It definitely didn’t go as easily as I want but its early.  Once I had gotten it in my head I was going to do it I had the best workout yet.  More time on the elliptical and more time on the weights.  New secret learned - it takes exactly 1 hour for my washer to do a load of laundry.  So….I should take that as a time to workout.  (If you didn’t know already I’m the ultimate multi-tasker - ESPECIALLY with having a conversation in person and several in text messages at the same time) 

Started actually thinking of goals today but I’m not really sure where to go with them.  I definitely have an intermediate weight loss goal but I don’t want my ultimate goal to be a number.  I’m very goal oriented and will do whatever it takes to achieve one…problem is I don’t want to stop at a number because I don’t want to stop.  The best way I’ve heard it said was in an email today from a great friend - this isn’t a diet or an exercise program it’s a total change of lifestyle.  So, my long term goal needs to be a little different on this…but I’m really not sure what.  I also want to think of reward for the goal - something big and something I want.  Its probably not overly surprising that I have a better thought for the reward then I do for the goal.  (maybe its because I want so many things?)

I am going to push myself tomorrow morning - I WILL wake up early to do at least an elliptical run before I head off to work for the day.  I’m a little worried about the upcoming weekend so its important that I do this tomorrow.  I will be in York for a few days this weekend and obviously won’t have access to the gym I have in the basement.  There is also worry in my brain that any “routines” established will go away with the change of scenery.  So - if anybody out there lives in York and wants to go for a walk or something like that over the weekend - get in touch with me please.  I will be busy with many things, but I can GUARANTEE I will want/need to get away, if only for sanity. 

I suppose I should finish my list of stuff to do tonight.  Never thought I would procrastinate by writing my inner thoughts on a computer while listening to Rage Against The Machine.  Nope…sure didn’t see that one coming!
