Mind Set

I am not sure where this blog is going...I just know that I need to blog. I think I have ranted and raved enough about how much I dislike this time of year and I honestly think my mood has got to improve. I don't really want to take the energy or effort to improve it but here goes...don't be offended if it is half hearted.

I need to get out of the habit of putting my p.j.s on as soon as I get home. It shouldn't matter that the sky is already dark at 5:00. Nor should I mope around the house looking for something to gnaw on. That could put me over the edge of my weight boundaries that I have set for myself (and seem to be failing miserably with). So - I would tell my students to think of a better plan, and then to see it happen by making it happen. Ugh. Who listens to me? Why would they listen to such a pitiful piece of advice? Ohhhhhh how I hate having to follow my own rules. My first note to self? Quit giving advice so I don't have to follow it myself.

Moving on. Okay. Here I go. Breathe in and breathe out. Straighten the shoulders, roll the neck, stop typing............look around the room ....ANYTHING but this....oh. I see something that needs to be done, so hold on.

Okay. I am back and ready to start with the breathing again. Well, this could take a while, huh? I think I might be procrastinating so I don't have to come up with a better plan. I always thought I was a genius, and now I am certain.

Alright, so there might be an inkling of hope. I could meet my husband at the gym before coming home. But that would mean taking off work clothes, putting on gym clothes, and then coming home to put on pajamas. Is it worth it? Let's think this through...I could spend time at the gym NOT for health purposes or losing those unwanted pounds, but to spend quality time in the presence of my awesomely attractive husband. I could smile and flip my hair and flirt with him in public places. I don't know how attractive that would be while trying to gracefully walk the treadmill, but a few wipe outs later, I would surely get the gist of it.

Plan #2? I haven't thought that far, but I know my husband is currently at the gym so I will go flirt for a while. That sounds like fun. :)
