No Easy Button
Yesterday I really wanted to work out and couldn't find any time to do it. I was up at 5:30 in the morning, spent the early morning preparing my presentation slides, the bulk of the day at Video Camp Austin (which was GREAT), then ran to the toy store to pick up presents for my kids. Three of my five children had birthdays this weekend, the end of February is always a crazy time in my family! I went straight from Terra Toys to get the girls, then back to my house for pizza and presents with the whole family. By 8 pm, when I had a free moment, I was too tired to lift anything heavier than the remote.
Today I have all the time in the world and zero motivation, but too bad, so sad for me. I'm charging up the iPod and heading to the gym for some cardio. I want to look forward to the gym. I don't exactly dread it, but I'm hardly jazzed up about heading over there. I think this partly has to do with me just hating the sight of my own body lately. It's especially difficult during events like yesterday, when every time I turned around there was a video or still camera pointed at me. When you're overweight it's hard to forget it, even for a second. I wish there was an Easy Button for the extra 15 pounds I'm carrying around right now.
