No, not the song. I really do feel good. I have had a very invigorating and contentful day. I've also been eating like a machine.
Right, I woke up pretty late, about 10:00, but I had stayed up late the night before watching Chariots of Fire and Rocky (note to self: when feeling unmotivated, watch movies about guys who win Olympic Medals and beef up like no tomorrow!
). I got up, and my Dad announced we were taking a tree down from our front yard. That was surprising, but I dressed and had breakfast. I had a big bowl of peaches and cream oatmeal with brown sugar sprinkled on top, another big bowl, this time with organic yogurt with sliced strawberries and mandarin oranges on it, and finally a breakfast Hot Pocket with a tall glass of Cranberry Apple Juice.
The night before I had done a couple hundred situps and about 80 oushups and a few dumbell curlsl, so I was feeling pretty sore since I wasn't used to that. I got outside, and my dad and started work on the tree. His chainsaw was pretty blunt though, so we started sawing it with 20 year old bow-saw, which was pretty feeble and didn't handle too well. Did I mention this is on about a 45 degree slope, so we had to crawl back up to our driveway (we live on a mountain). And he and my Mum and sister went out shopping (he's going to get a new chain for the chainsaw and we're going to finish up tomorrow). While he was out, I did some of my homework, and memorized some more of my play lines.
Then I got some lunch. A Meatballs and Mozzarella Lean Pocket, with a big plate of vegetables, a carrot sandwich (don't ask :p ), a Granny Smith Apple, and 2 glasses of water. I decided to go for a run/walk (I need to exercise more often, and I was in the mood), but I wanted a buddy, So I ran about a mile towards my friend's house downhill, and then hiked 1.5 miles uphill (and I mean slopes that you'd need low gear on if you were in a truck). I got to his house. We walked his dogs around the mountain for about an 40 minutes (we must have gone nearly 3 miles). Then he drove me back to my house in his Jeep, and he stayed awhile. We played some Table Football, and then he left. I walked my dogs, and then my parents got back. Now they are going out for dinner, and I'm cooking my sister and I chicken tenders, pasta, and baked potatoes, with Lemon Cake and Strawberries for Desert. We're going to watch Joan of Arcadia off of the TiVo.
This probably sounds pretty boring to most people, but I felt really accomplished after today, especially since I'm inactive so much in front of my Computer. Later, I think I'll balance out with some work on My JK Level which can be found here
So often I lack motivation, that I'm happy I got out and idd some thing today. Post your meals/accomplsihments/feelings about today and how you stay motivated!
