I know some of yall will say, you never saw this coming! {insert smug laugh} Well on the other hand, since I been getting calls since my birthday party from friends in cities other than the N.O. sayin, "Hey, you look like you lost weight" maybe this wont be such a surprise!
And yes, I know that was a long intro! LOL Its FRIDAY!!!!! Be easy!
Well for everyone who doesn't know, which is most of yall, I decided to get a side job to help pay for my moving/relocation expenses after graduation to the big apple. I wasnt really looking for a job, but when opportunity smacks you in the face, why not??
I went with my mom for a consultation at Curves for moral support and winded up receiving a free week. So I did my lil week and really liked it, but didnt want to join since im already in contract with another gym until May... well the nice lady that gave me the free week, quit the following day and they were looking to hire someone. They had accommodating hours and free workouts for employees, so I was sold! LOL
My first week, I didnt wanna be too eager about the free workouts so I didnt really workout any. Then it started... gaining pounds back!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I told the scale!
I went back the next week, and put myself into the computer! And two weeks later Im 3.5 pounds lighter... [sigh of relief]
Well I have recently (which I am VERY grateful for) been contracted to do some big jobs and I hardly have time to remember to breathe let alone work out, but you know me Im trying to do as much as I can do. Well I started working on Masse Media work while on my break at Curves which is the time when I would do my workout. So Im looking at the clock sayin,"hurry up dia so u can workout" yet, im still typing... then jumped up with 18 minutes left to do my 30 min workout. And I did it.. and skipped some of the circuit in the process. It felt okay at the time cause I was doing the workout, but at the end I felt cheated.
And it made me think about how we cheat ourselves out of good stuff sometimes. WHY? Well, for some its their commitment to success. Business conquers all. For others its the commitment to take care of everyone else but them. I have an ex-bf that cut his workout so he could get another job to take care of his whole family. Not kids but mom, dad.. etc.. The truth is that we can come up with all kinds of excuses for why we cant do things that we should do. And as Joe pointed out to me last night on the phone, "I feel like you make time for what you really want to do." as I had spewed at him so many times before! [ He got me, that was a good one!] And Im still sticking with that one, you do make time for what you really want to do, whether its sleep late, grunge out and watch tv in ya "house clothes", race cars, spend all your spare time on myspace or facebook, or space out and do nothing at all;then wonder where the time went.
Well I resolve in this 2008, to make better use of my time. Not to cheat myself out of things that are good for me, and to not let all this work, moving, graduation, or relationships drive me crazy! Lets see how that goes....
TGIF people... dia dia
