Yay for Friday! It's been a long 5 days. Part of it is giving up sweets which made me slightly moody and probably a little nuts. Not going to lie I think I almost cried by the end of the day on Monday for no apparent reason other than I had given up sweets. I did slip last night and ate two of the kids mini cupcakes. I need to be less emotional about work. It's work. It's not life. It's a job. It's not my passion in life. I manage a literature department that makes installation instructions. I don't even think people read what we write. After a stressful day that lead me to mini cupcakes I made a decision. I need to find a passion in life that is not work. I'm not sure what that is. I might start writing instructions for life instead of products. I might start inventing useless things that make me giggle. I don't know.. I need a passion. Not a smutty novel passion. Something that makes me want to get up and do it passion.
Today's 3 Why's:
1. Because when I find my passion I may need to be able to move without rolling around like a beached whale. I tried a workout that made me get down on the ground, do something, get back up, do something.. just getting up and down kicked my butt. I feel like that was supposed to be the easy part of the workout... it wasn't. The idea of doing a burpee is a nightmare I have now. I should be able to do a burpee without questioning all my life decisions.
2. Because my new workout shorts keep sliding down my butt. They are the same size as my current workout shorts BUT.. I think I stretched the old ones out. I now have panty peeker shorts. If I sit, bend over, sneeze or walk more than a minute there they are! I should not have to keep pulling my shorts up. They are not falling off, they are holding on for dear life and failing. Say no to panty peekers.
3. Because I want to reach a goal. I also want someone to give me a metal because I accomplished something. Not participated.. accomplished! My goal is to go from 224 to 190 by the end of this year. That's a 34 pound loss over 20 weeks. It's a little over 1.5 pounds a week. Aggressive? Maybe. But go big or don't. I want to go big.. no wait.. small. I want to go smaller. Go with an aggressive shrink plan or don't? I don't know. It's my goal. If I reach it I will buy my own metal. Or tropical vacation. A tropical vacation when you live in upstate NY with snow in December sounds like a much better reward. I will track the goal in my profile. I will make goal posters for the fridge. I will make trackers, planners, and motivational post its to cover my entire house if I have to. I might have just found my passion. Or I'm going slightly insane. It's fine. I'm fine.
