Where's the motivation

Well, here it is, 10:15 on Friday morning. I was lucky enough to take a furlough day today so I didn't have to go to work. That should mean that I take the chance to get up early and hit up the gym to lose some serious weight. But...there is no motivation. I have hit a wall.

I worked really hard on Wednesday night. Yesterday, walking felt like a chore. More than a chore, it felt like a painful obligation that my body was lashing out about. I was also exhausted. Who knew that running would take so much out of someone? I mean its just fast walking, and I walk all day long. So why should it be so hard? It makes me angry. I mean, if they want us to be healthy and fit and all that stuff, why do they make it so hard? Its pretty frustrating.

So here I sit. In my workout clothes and all I can think about is just crawling back into bed. Do you think once I get to the gym everything else will just fade away? One of the really hard parts about this new running thing is that the gym we go to downtown has all the treadmills facing out the window and not looking at the TV. Usually I can be easily distracted by something on. Like Wednesday night it was Law and Order: SVU. Wow those minutes just flew by. But now, I am going to have to stare out the window? Downtown Bakersfield isn't exactly a bustling metropolis, so I can't just people watch. I am dragging my feet on this one big time. Thankfully Chad has a nice TV show on right now and he seems pretty comfortable. I am buying time left and right.

OOOH and here is a nice little update: I weighed myself on Wednesday morning first thing and I lost even more weight! I am down to 248.6. Thats right! That puts me at .99% weight loss. I am so close to 1%! At least, I think I am doing this whole math thing right.

Okay, show is going to end soon and I am going to pick myself up my ass and take it to the gym. 30 minutes running (alternating between running and walking). I am going to get up to 2.5 miles today. Then some ab work. I am over this flabby stuff!
