Today was pretty non-eventful. It was a busy day, but I feel like health-wise, I didn't get anything accomplished. I did bell-ringing out in the 30 degree weather for the Salvation Army, so that was mentally rewarding, but I just stood around for two hours. Unfortunately, that was my 'workout' for the day. I got home, then went to a concert, and then over to the wife's family's house to hang out, and now, at 11:30pm, I'm home.
So, no weigh-in today. Not really thrilled about that, but I'll get one in tomorrow I hope.
I'm hitting my 8 day stretch where life is a STRUGGLE. I don't think there's a day this week starting tonight that I'm going to be home before 8:30pm, and each of those days I'm out of the house by 7:15am.. or 6:00am if I get up for the gym, so I'm hoping to see a few early days.
It's frustrating when you actually WANT to go to the gym, but have no time. I know I can do things outside of the gym like walk, do the stretches, squats, jumping jacks, but honestly, if I'm not at the gym, I don't feel 'into' it. I can't seem to get into the mode without being actually AT the gym. Maybe that's a cop-out, but I have to call it how I see it. I guess it's more mental sometimes with me. I feel like, if I'm not actually in the gym, the exercise doesn't really count. Completely stupid, I know, but again, just speaking what I think.
So, it's struggle time. The next few weeks for me are going to be crazy, and this is usually the time where my diet falls right on its ass. It's a crunch time for me.
Sorry the blog's boring today. Nothing really true to report. I guess because I'm making a point to write EVERY SINGLE DAY, you'll get some boring ones. Stay tuned though, I need you guys. All of you.

You know what I usually do for a "workout" if I have a busy day ahead of me and don't have much time to get a true work out in. Get yourself a jump rope. 10 - 15 minutes of that so yo uget something in. Just an idea. The weather is somewhat crappy this time a year in Michigan though so I am not sure how you feel about jumping rope in the rain or snow.
Yeah, that's my problem. That's what I was saying about being in the gym. It's one of my mental locks. If I'm not "IN" the gym, I just don't feel like doing anything athletic.. as if it doesn't 'count'. It's stupid, I know. It's just one of those things.
So, Is this Josh trainer hot? B/c if I had a hot trainer, I think I'd totally work out better. And potentially buy less clothes so that I could afford it. Now THAT'D be dedication. So Josh, are you hot?

haha. am i hot? hmmm. rob, am i hot? i've been told i am, guess you'll have to come check me out for yourself. i dabbled in modeling about 6 or so years ago. i would say i definitely look like i work out, not huge, but fit. come see me, and we'll find out. and rob, thats what we have to change. its all bout changing behavior, not just time in the gym, its time outside the gym that counts. at most, the average person spends we'll say six hours a weeek in the gym, that's 162 more that need to be covered. we'll get there, hang with me. much love.

Well, it won't fall on it's ass this time, Tucker. Cuz this time you have a handful of friends ready to kick YOU in the ass if it does! :) You asked, we promised...done deal! Hang in there...it's rough, but I know you can do it. I've seen you set your mind on something you want, and watched you go after it. You'll get there, I know it!
