Get Off Your @ss Tuesday
Quote from the blog Did I just eat that out loud? :
And the truth is, in my heart of hearts, I am lazy. And I am very good at the lazy. I am the Tiger Woods of lazy. Perfectly content to stay in my house for days on end, just riding the buttdent in my sofa, watching seriously bad reality television, reading cookbooks, and giving myself pedicures.
It’s just who I am.
I have a talent for coming up with The Good Idea. Just ask my pals and co-workers. It’s a God-given gift. The Good Idea just falls out of my head (@ss???) with no effort and little provocation. So 8 weeks ago when The Good Idea for GOYA popped into my brain-I was SOLD! So I hit the keyboard to brag to you about this new idea-so very proud of myself for birthing yet another Good Idea. And just as I was patting myself on the back, it hit me….SH*T!!! I was gonna have to get off my @ss!!! And then the resentment set in. Yes, I was mad at you. For expecting me to get off my ass. Then I got sneaky and thought about just “forgetting” and started hoping and praying that ya’ll just weren’t smart enough to remember. Then guilt showed up. Live a lie? Wasn’t I using this blog as a way to be honest about my successes and failures? So here’s the truth: I really didn’t want to get off my ass…I just wanted to talk about getting off my @ss. And then resignation set in. I knew I was gonna have to keep this promise to tell you the truth-because I just can’t live with myself any other way. So I grudgingly got off the couch, put on my sneakers, and harrassed/bribed Mr B into joining me.
So 8 wks later and 10.8 lbs thinner, I am definitely in a better place-physically and mentally. Do I love exercising and dieting? HELL NO! Am I doing it perfectly? Hardly. But I’m doing it-mumble bitching the whole way as a matter of fact. So if you were a part of the village who tuned in every Tues to read my GOYA report-thank you. For being that invisible force that kept me honest-when my own apathy felt so safe and warm and comfortable. So GOYA boot camp is over. What’s next? A whole lot more work. But I’m well on my way!
PS And for now, I’m on Good Idea hiatus. Will keep you posted when the next one rears its ugly head…or not!
First of all, you're a good idea junkie. It's your monkey. It's your cross. It's your fix, man. Sooo, good luck with tossing "good ideas." I will miss your GOYA Tuesdays not because I'm nosy and care about what you're doing or not doing, but because it kept me in line with MY own GOYA goals (which was one goal over and over and over). I didn't make a whole lot of progress, but I made some. Some is better than nuthin'. So, congrats on the 10 somethin and putting on the tennis shoes! I will miss GOYA Tuesday, but I'll wait for the next GOOD IDEA!
