What?!

Ah! It’s been a long, long time! What have you been up to? Well, I guess I would know if I had been reading people’s blogs and writing my own. I have been tied up with some issues. Mainly called, I’m tired. I have just been so tired all the time I could not get my lazy ass off the couch that was not 5 feet away from the computer to type anything more than a sentence long on to my blog. Just plain laziness is what that is.
Anyway, I have been suffering bouts of depression due to the fact I have injured myself enough that I can no longer run. I’ve tried, believe me, but I just can’t do it. For weeks I have been beating myself up, for what, I don’t know. There was nothing I could do about it. But now, the realization has crept in that what I was doing to help heal myself may have been the wrong thing to do and it was actually hindering any chance of a quick, full recovery. Now I don’t know what to do. But, at least I have found other forms of exercise that excite me almost as much as running. I started cycling and I will eventually go out on the road and do some street biking. The only draw back with that is your bum gets a bit sore in certain places due to the seat. I never understood why the bike seat was made two sized too small for your butt. And there ain’t nobody who fits comfortably on a bike seat without any alterations. You find me that person and I will literally give you my life savings.
I have also started a new program. Jillian Michaels diet and exercise plan. For 30 days the challenge is to get yourself on a strict diet and follow her exercise program to a T and you will lose 10 pounds and be ripped! It is day 3 into the program-granted, it is also my first day ‘off’ from exercise-give it a rest already, will ya? But I am feeling really good about this. The diet thing is the hardest as I have to go shopping to get the proper foods, but my diet thus far has been pretty good that I don’t have to make any major changes. The exercises are KILLER, yet I LOVE it! If I wasn’t in the shape I already am in there would be no way I would be able to make it through an entire rotation. It is hard enough at the level I am at right now. But that is the good thing, you can put as much or little effort as you want into the exercises. I have been going full blast. Granted, it does leave the body a bit sore, but following the program allows for your muscles to take a break while you do other exercises.
For anyone that wants to lose 10 pounds I suggest the Jillian Michaels Making the Cut plan. So far so good! But you have to have the right mind set otherwise you will get disappointed. Also, you will need 30 days out of your life to focus on hard core exercise and NOT on partying. I picked the wrong month for that…

Ever wonder what the morality level is for a person who leaves a large bill in the collection basket, yet takes out a couple smaller bills as ‘change’? I mean, technically they are leaving a donation, right?
