I'll take a C for Effort...

I am a lazy ass. I am trust me, this I know well. Ever since my shoulder started hurting in mid-December I have become more and more lazy with going to the gym. I know there are plenty of things I can do at the Gym that does not involve shoulder movement but still I’m not there. It’s been two weeks since I had surgery and here I sit typing about how lazy I am. In my head, I am a chiseled specimen running 6 miles every day and lifting 3 times a week. My body is lean and toned, nicely bronzed by the Arizona sun. In reality I’m sitting in my recliner with Mexican rice clinging to my boob from my freshly inhaled dinner (did I even taste it)? I try hard I promise. Maybe it’s the ADHD (isn’t it always?). I start off each day with every intention that THIS is the day it changes. I start off well, fruits for breakfast limited grains but by the time I lay my head down at night I am back to my same old lazy self. Today for instance, lunch time rolls around and I am so caught up in evaluations and prepping for my meeting that when my co-worker asks if I want Pete’s Fish and Chips for lunch I answer “yes” without even thinking. When the food arrives I’m instantly disgusted with myself for caving in but I eat it any way (remember I’m a 3, not stupid) and enjoy every bit of fried goodness. Another example of my ineptitude at movement; I have tried 3 times in the last two weeks to go to the gym. And by tried I mean thought about it, planned it out, dressed, and then didn’t go. THREE TIMES. I could blame it on my shoulder. I admit, it hurts like hell, a lot, so by the time the day is over I’m ready to call it a day and not do anything. But who does this. Here I am with all sorts of internal motivation looking supper hot (in my head) in my skimpy bikini frolicking in the ocean and instead of doing anything about I’m sitting in my recliner wearing work out pants, sports bra, tank top, and gym shoes…watching Dog the Bounty Hunter…eating this…

At least if Dog showed up at my door I would look like I actually work out. I’ll take that C for effort coach…
