I Need To Get Off My Ass  
I feel as though I am about to pass out from exhaustion. I am not 20 years old anymore, man! Was up again until almost 4am, yeah I’m stupid. I fell right to sleep for once though, but then was rudely awakened at like 6am by my brother screaming, asking my mom something. Like, really bro? Sigh.

I did end up falling back to sleep, but it made getting up at 8:30 so much harder, and I woke up closer to 9am, than I would like to admit. Of course, that made me about 5 minutes late; oh well. I’m only here until 1pm, so I can go home and hit the hay …but I can barely keep my eyes open…Ha-ha.

I haven’t been to the gym in over two weeks, and it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but I already feel horrible. I need to start that back up. Maybe I’ll go on Friday, since I am off, and Saturday. I need to figure out WHEN I want to go. I would LIKE to go in the morning, before work, and just get it out of the way…but with the way my sleep schedule has been lately that doesn’t seem possible.

I really don’t have any energy when I leave work and the LAST thing I want to do, is go to the gym. It’s why I haven’t been going the last few weeks. I used to go after work, but that was when the weather was nice, and the sun kicked up endorphins in me… ha! Now, I just want to go home and relax and be as lazy as all possible.

I am just not feeling so great and it’s really bothering me. I haven’t even been eating that badly, but just imagining what we’ll be eating from here until New Years has me cringing and in serious need of exercise… ha-ha.

I really just want to buy a treadmill or something for the home, but we have a serious space issue; there is none. With two brothers, who hog up a lot of space with all their crap (Paintballing Gear, Motorcycle gear, pool tables, etc etc), there’s very little room left to fit a treadmill (or other device). My room MAY fit a very small stationary bike, but I hate those. I always feel like I don’t get enough of a workout on one of them. I like a machine that can work out my whole body in one (like an elliptical/treadmill).

In other, completely random news, my skin is very soft today. I am shocked because with colder weather, comes dry skin…but today, my face feels really soft and I love it. The winter can stay away! HAHA. It really is shocking that we’ve been getting some kick-ass weather (High 50’sF -Low 60’sF). It’s usually so damn cold by now… ha-ha.

So yeah, I need to make myself a little list here of things I need to seriously do for my own health:

♥ Seriously be in bed by no later than 12:30am. That gives me at least 7 hours of sleep and enough room to go to the gym before work Tuesday-Friday.

♥ Start back up at the gym; I have slacked enough!

♥ Stop getting Subway every other day. Although it is not ‘as bad’ for you, as (pretty much every) other fast food places, I feel like I could do without it, and would feel better. Like yesterday I got their cold cut trio, and it was on the salty side, which of course doesn’t help me feel better. So, I need to take a break from going there.

♥ Find motivation. I don’t know how people find motivation, it’s different for everyone …but I need to seriously find what works for me. I’m not a child anymore, damn it!

♥ Stop thinking I will fail at everything. Just because I have failed so MUCH in my life, doesn’t mean I can’t still move on and learn and grow. I need to stop letting fear control me (this one is easier said, than done).

Oh well, I am going to get some work done. I’m only here another 2.5 hours *happy squee*

They do have treadmills that can be folded up to stand vertical against the wall when you're not using them. Maybe that would fit in your room?

Another thing that is great & doesn't take up that much room, is Wii Fit.

I totally hear you on Subway, it's better than the others, but not as great as it could be. I wish their salads were better, but no dice.

I always think that I'm going to fail at everything too.

Good luck with everything!

Sorry to hear that you haven’t been feeling well. Could be the weather and the changing of the season. The start of winter time always throws me off for a while, too.

Instead of going to the gym or buying a tread mill, have you considered taking up jogging/running? It’s free and you can do it whenever you want. I started running seven weeks ago and am already making progress. Woo. I usually run with a friend, because that keeps me motivated. But sometimes it’s also nice to take my iPod and go running by myself. In fact, there are dozens of podcast out there with training plans that help you build your condition. Mine tells me exactly how long to run and even cheers me on while I’m running. LOL. It’s actually very helpful.

Not letting your fears control you is indeed easier said than done. But you can do it! Just try to see yourself as other see you: a kind, talented and downright awesome person! :)

Finding motivation is hard, I agree.
Going to the gym is good, hard to get the motivation & time to though!
I've been trying to get there too, and actually stay there...
I think that if anything, Subway is the best for you. Perhaps have a 6 inch instead of a 12 inch sub? Is that a good start? I think that if going there stops you from Mc Donald's then it's worth going to.
