I have found that it is not enticing enough a thought (much like a secret diary) to post in a blog that no one reads any more. Seriously; I feel that there's zero possibility of people actually reading this. So I don't post. But I have had lots of ideas, and I've had several things I've wanted to say; and today I have the time and motivation to be productive, so here I am.
Yesterday I started a TurboFire work out program. Actually; first I did a NYC Ballet workout, and then I did a Zumba Flat Abs workout, and I still had a little energy, and the box that my mom had left behind was just sitting there, so I put in the first disc. It was just an informational DVD, prepping you for the workout to come. My mom didn't leave the guide behind, so I put in the second DVD. I about died, and I stayed a little soar. But it's a good soar, and I found out that there is an online community designed to help people help each other through their workouts. I have no friends who would work out with me; so I went to try it. That just motivated me to continue on in the program. I, generally, am turned off by Yoga; it might just be the implied stereotype of it, but eh. It was good too. So; we'll see if this keeps on. If I do keep with the schedule that's been created for me on the website for at least a week; I'll buy myself a new bathing suit. One better designed for learning to surf. Which is another new thing. I talked an old friend into teaching me to surf; it didn't take much persuading, he actually more or less volunteered when I said "I want to learn to surf." But we both agree that I'm going to have to constantly remind him. Which I can do; I do pestering friend very well I do believe. Hopefully that will turn out good, and that'll be one more thing off my "bucket list."
And I suppose that is what it is. I am going to be a quarter of a century old in a few weeks time, and what do I have to show for myself besides some heartache and an enormous Sallie Mae bill? Not much, there is so much I want to accomplish, but circumstance and opportunity has always held me back. So I've decided to put on a take charge personality and just do it. I don't want to find that I'm middle aged and have never done anything I've wanted. I'm still relatively young, I can do this. So this summer; I'm going to learn to surf, ride a motorcycle, seriously work on my German, and look into gardening my own vegetables. I'm excited. I just hope I don't lose momentum like I'm no doubt bound to do.
I'd ask for someone to hold me accountable to this; but no one really reads this, nor is anyone around to get on me about it. I have no close friends. So it's going to take a lot of self motivating. Just gotta do it. Set goals; and prepare rewards for accomplishing them... perhaps I'll make a list, or a spreadsheet for that... monitor my progression. Wish me luck; someone call me and check up on me or something.
