January is almost done, so it's safe to say that most people have pretty much given up on their new years resolutions. I wish I were so lucky....
Here's the thing.. I resolved to go to the gym more often in.. um like.. early November. So this doesn't count as a regular new years fail -- it's far worse. And starting then I began setting my alarms for 4:30 AM in hopes of going to the gym in the morning.
I've been to the gym twice since then. Twice.
Wow.
The first time I went was very un-fun, so for the next few days I made up excuses to not go. For example: "my gym clothes are dirty," "I can't find a sports bra," "I need to save my energy for my epic work shift tonight," "I haven't shaved my legs," and a bunch of others.
And after a few days I completely forgot the combination to my new lock, so I didn't go for a long time.
Eventually I bought a new lock and went again, and that was like a week ago.
Today I am finally going again!!!! But of course this involves its own fair share of LJ fails. Here they are:::
1. I keep being dang proud of myself for getting up so early to go run. Except that I didn't. Really I stayed up all night and listened to music and watched the new Footloose and Charlieissocoollike. I did try to go to sleep for, um, like 45 minutes in there somewhere but that got boring. So now I've condemned myself to a horrid day of grouchy tiredness and caffeine pills.
2. Remember that new lock I bought? Well I lost it. I spent the last half hour looking for it (it turned out to be hiding in the back seat of my car) and then I realized that I forgot the combination to this lock too!!!! Except that I remembered the first and last numbers.. I just forgot the middle one. So I sat here for a while like an idiot trying lots of possible middle numbers until I figured it out. Stupid lock.
3. I'm also failing at going to the gym because I let myself sit down on my cozy bed and write on my blog instead of getting dressed and heading down there to run. So now I don't want to get up. And if I don't get up soon then I'll fall asleep or convince myself to watch Napoleon Dynamite instead of going to the gym. So I'm gonna go.
I hope that my failures make you feel better about keeping/not keeping your new years resolutions. :)
Have a super fun day.
