Motivation

It's been lacking lately, as far as the gym goes.  I can blame a cold for the first half of the year, but the second half has been a combination of laziness and social engagements.  I don't like telling people " sorry I can't do X, I have to go to the gym", on the other hand I'll look in the mirror and say "you're slipping, boy."  The best solution to such a situation is to plan a workout schedule during specific times and to stick to it.  Maybe it means morning workouts some days, maybe it means hitting the gym right after getting home (which would be ideal).  That still leaves time for an open evening's worth of plan.  That's the real key: the quick post work turnaroud time.  How do the rest of you resolve your workout dilemas?

This weekend is a little more full than usual.  Early forecasts are ranging from really good to amazingly hella awesome.  I'll have a better picture of things by Saturday night!

I've been a slacker for a couple of months. Problem was that I used to go with somebody. Now they are not around. Once I move to Somerville, I'll have someone to go with again. I've made it three times this week (though only doing cardio and abdominals) I've been trying to go before work. I tend to be too tired after work. (Also because my work schedule is still fucked up).
Have a amazingly hella awesome weekend.

amazi ngly hella awesome weekend

you know? it was!

Going before work seems very tough for me, because it would entail getting up at 6, and I've never been a morning person. After work for the most part would be ideal, if I had the steel to do so. That's the rub.
