Motivation

I've become almost too lazy to even type that word, let alone this blog post. I'm having some serious issues with motivation lately. I'm having an intervention on MYSELF.

Output: Haven't slipped on athletic clothes in almost a month now. After work, I prefer stretchy pants I can wear under my jammies that have fruit on them. Acceptable substitute: stretchy jean shorts with a huge T-shirt. (I counted at least 4 places I can judge me in this category.)

Intake: Lately, major food groups are baked goods, buffalo wing sauce, and takeout/eating out. Sub-category = alcohol. This is the only area in which I have put forth any effort.

Bathroom scale: Holds open the bathroom door, occasionally I stub a toe on it, but have not stepped on it.

TV: Watching a lot of it. Too much to admit here.

Thinking: Can't bring myself to think outside of work. (Thus, the lack of posting here, among other areas).

The intervention started in earnest yesterday. AFTER I watched movies all day, ate my weight in Chinese takeout, and didn't shower until 8 p.m. Luckily, Tim and I are in this together and we started with a trip to Wal-Mart (jgfdhgfstufs) for groceries and a new bike (for Tim).

We bought lots of fresh produce, lean meat, and grains. Did NOT buy replacements for any baking ingredients to avoid late-night temptation. Lunch today was a healthy salad, and after work, we're hitting the trails -- which is awesome because I don't think I've even LOOKED at my bike in a year. I look forward to moving and having more energy.

On other fronts -- I still have lots of plans on the calendar between having the in-laws in town (now!), my new nephew coming (maybe tomorrow!), a camping/kayaking trip (that I won't talk myself out of), and more. August is going to fly by, I can feel it.

Especially (since I'm no longer lazy) if I start up my boards on Pinterest -- holy time waster, Batman! Check it out, if you haven't already....
