The Fridaylutions of a heavy procrastinator

Seriously, I suck. But we'll leave my personal life out of this. Last week I had some goals, let's review:

Force Lovey and Kiddo into 2 hours of daily family time. WIN – Guitar Hero brings people together
Schedule a personal training session (it's free, thankfully). WIN – I went on Thursday and couldn't lift my arms all weekend!
Hit the gym Monday and Wednesday morning, Friday after work. 2/3 WIN – I went Monday and Wednesday and Thursday too!
Yoga on Tuesday night. WIN – I really enjoy this instructor. She makes me want to learn more about yoga.
Finish all week one classwork BEFORE Saturday morning. FAIL – Ended up finishing by Saturday afternoon though.
Stick to the eating plan. WIN – weekends are freebies and I ate well all week.
Drink more water. A lot more. WIN – I am pretty gosh darn hydrated. I can see it in my face. Shh, Roboco, I know I'm looking a little hellish today.
Be more focused at work. Eh, more or less WIN.
Outline Chapter One of upcoming novel wannabe. EPIC FAIL – Can you not tell from my writing that it shouldn't go into book form?
Cheer the Fins on to victory. WIN/FAIL – I did my part, the Fins did not do their part.
Adult time with Lovey on Friday or Saturday night. FAIL – I felt like crap on Friday so I took a Flexoril. Bad move. I could not stay awake for more than an hour all day Saturday.
Finish the current book I'm reading. (leisure) WIN – I have three more leisure books in the house before I consider ordering more.
Install Joomla downstairs and read first two chapters of Joomla book. EPIC FAIL – There are less hours in a day and less days in a week than I thought.

So, more good than bad last week which is always nice.

Let us look at the goals for this week.

Take yo ass to the gym at least four times this week. That membership is not free.
Really, wrap up the school work earlier in the week. Maybe even try to get ahead? Do you really want to do homework while you're on vacation? MOVE IT!
Try to find time to add stretching to the routine.
At least install Joomla. One step at a time. Maybe read one chapter.
Drag Lovey out of the house for a friend's party on Saturday…if I can stay awake.
Research a book on writing a book. (Any help greatly appreciated on this one.)
Pick up a bikini top and maybe a cute dress for Saturday.
Make a conscious effort to be more optimistic.

Ok, I'm burnt.

Let me end this on a good note. While payroll screwed up my first check of the new year, they did scrw it up in my favor so I'll have an extra ~$100 in my next check. Hooray! Have a good one!

Quite the statement

Procrastination is like masturbation. It feels great until you realize that you've just fucked yourself.

Wednesdays are for humping

Why not? Virginia is for lovers. Can you imagine the ruckus on Wednesdays in Virginia?

I haven't much to say about this week. I started my gym regimen on Monday and that was good. An abs and ass class that has left me sore two days later. Bonus that there was only one other person in the class other than the instructor. Tuesday evening was yoga. It's an intro class that goes into the names of poses, some background, and some actual poses. It's kind of slow moving, but it's okay since I'm still learning some stuff.

As if that weren't enough, this morning I had another yoga class (different place) where I was the only student. Completely awesome as I got personalized instruction on getting my poses just right. I think we did some more advanced poses. And I really need to work on my balance. Even though the instructor was "assisting" me at points, I still almost knocked her over when I was doing Utthita Hasta Padangustasana. I'm no yoga expert, but I would imagine that this isn't something that you ask someone to do who has been to yoga a few times. At any rate, it was an excellent class and the same teacher runs the Friday Pilates class so I'm happy about that.

Tomorrow morning I have my first of two personal training sessions. I need a set circuit routine for the days I hit the gym and am not taking a class. I'm making it easy for the guy.

I'll be ending the week with the aforementioned Pilates class and I may take off Saturday and Sunday, but that remains to be seen.

SIGH. Could someone please tell me how I could justify shelling out more cash to obtain certification in personal training? I'm already in a Bachelor's program and it isn't as though I don't plan on finishing it, I just enjoy the exercise and making people sweat a little more than I do the computer. People are always wanting to get in shape, right? I guess that goes on the back burner for now.

I've said a lot for someone with nothing to say. I hope that this week either starts to or continues to treat you all right. have a good one!
