Back To Work

Holiday weekend is over and it's time to get back to work. Like FT I took the day off yesterday. Waking up this morning I thought I might regret it because I felt a lot tighter than I have on previous mornings. A few stretches took care of that and I savored my second pain free day in a row.

Took a little to psych myself into the workout today. Admittedly two of my biggest flaws are procrastination and laziness. Fortunately I was able to leverage my laziness to my advantage. While it would have been easy to put off my workout until later in the day I could, of course, only push it off for so long. The lazy side of me kicked in an convinced the procrastinator that if we just do it and get it over with then we've got nothing left to do for the rest of the day. It actually worked. I finished my workout by mid-afternoon and have since nursed my laziness for the last few hours of the holiday.

Oh yeah, starting a new healthy lifestyle during the summer sucks. Diet constraints are forcing me into an alcohol free Memorial Day, Independence Day and (the more regional) Separation Day. Three big beer and BBQ holidays in 37 days and I get to participate in none. There's no "bright side" on this one. No way to spin it so it feels good. I don't drink a lot of beer, but when I drink it it's cold, rich and expensive. No light beers, nothing in a can, nothing you'll ever find on the supermarket endcap on sale by the case. I like beer, I want beer, I can't have beer. It sucks. add to del.icio.us saved by 0 users
