Motivation

So recently I've decided to make some professional / life changes, which just so happen to require me drop down to 140 lbs.  Now I can't say for certain how much I weigh at the moment since the scale at my house gives me a different number every  time I hop on the damn thing, but I know for certain I'm not quite at that level.  Those of you who know me know I'm nowhere near almost overweight, so getting to this point won't require dropping suspect amounts of weight, but the weight must come off nonetheless.  For the first time in my life I have real.  live.  motivation (and not the Kelly Rowland kind).

I'm attempting to infuse the following into my routines:


  • Burpees
  • Jacobs Ladder
  • Mountain climbers
  • Treadmill (le sigh)
  • Row machine


I've done all of these before.  Allow me to rank them in order by likability, with 1 being...well, #1:


  1. Jacobs Ladder
  2. Row machine
  3. Burpees
  4. Mountain climbers

     #891246265289641.  Treadmill

Yeah you read that number right.

I caaan't with stationary running.  I'm pretty confident I run greater distances outside than I do on the treadmill.  I'm going to have to trespass on some high schools to use their outdoor tracks (Reservoir, I'm looking at you).  Good thing I have 4 yrs of fence-hopping under my belt from SMCM.

Shout out to the ARC!

You know what I really miss?  Indoor tracks.  I got a little spoiled from my internship days in Fitchburg with that.  It's probably the greatest thing since the squat rack.  They really should become a "thing".

*SN*  It's becoming a common theme in my life for me to become moderately addicted to things that I can only have for a short amount of time or things that are hella expensive.  This fact somewhat diminishes my overall quality of life.

In any event, I'll keep ya'll in the know.  I have many moons before the weight needs to be gone, and by "many moons" I mean I'd like it to be gone by mid-July.

If for some ungodly reason I can't get it off the good ol' fashion way (hard work & dedication), I'll just stop eating.  Starvation is always a guaranteed way of meeting your weight loss goals...if you survive...
