Take Care of You

I made it a point to leave work at 5 today so I could get home and have time to eat dinner, relax, and exercise. Well, I ate a healthy meal at my favorite local deli and had water instead of their famous sweet tea. I was proud of that. I made it home by 6:20 and I sat around expecting a phone call that I somehow knew wouldn't come anyway. I should have just gone to exercise and taken care of myself instead of worrying about being by the phone in this limited window of time. Nobody to blame but me.

I've been sitting here watching Armageddon Week on The History Channel. It's not all doomsday, but there is so much scientific information corroborating ancient predictions from all over the world that no matter what you believe, it's hard to not think that some global horror is on its way in the near future. Heck, I read news somewhere the other day about Russia trying to find a way to keep an asteroid from hitting the Earth. Whether the future is bright or dim, my point is that life is short. I need to take care of me and enjoy the life I have and the time with the people I care about.  Fully enjoying this life means getting my ass in gear and getting a chunk of this weight off so that everything is more enjoyable.

A friend suggested after my blog last night that I at least do 10 crunches before going to bed to get in a habit of doing SOMETHING. I thought that was a good suggestion and I went a step further and also did 10 quality squats (perfect form). By number 10 of each, I was thinking I wasn't going to make it. And I could feel the muscles twitching.

Even though I failed my goal of exercising again today, I did eat well and I will do my squats and crunches again before heading off to bed. And... I will resolve to make tomorrow better.

Goodnight all.
