Day 22 - 'Eh'

Today, I was feeling particularly unmotivated, lethargic. Exploring the possible causes helps avoid this kind of grumpiness in the future. After extensive investigation I found several reasons:

I’m sore from the weight workouts. I just added squats back in and DANG! I’m feeling it. I am feeling an overall tiredness from walking so much lately. I went from virtually walking around the small apartment to walking several miles a day. I like it, but I’m tired. I enjoy the hot shower after my walk and workout, then I sit around and scrapbook and blog and watch movies online.

I’m also I'm tired of seeing the same things and places. My routine is my sanctuary in busy times. During school, it’s the only thing keeping my sane. Routine is my best asset in keeping my fitness motivation alive and blasting full force. Eating the same things and performing the same workout daily gets old FAST. Now it’s even faster because I have the flexibility to relax and not push so hard.  My routine has just become infinitely flexible and I’m not sure how to handle that. I know the results will come; I know I’m on the right track and I should just enjoy the process, but I’m losing interest quickly.

I'm also tired of only seeing my sweetie for the hour I cooked him breakfast and walk with him part way to work.  He works so hard for us. He takes care of needy people for 12 hours and comes home and crashes. I don’t want to be needy or complain. I know we’ll have some time off soon and we always have a great time, even if it’s local or low key, I love it. Playing Angry Birds together at some restaurant for hours or crushing through fresh powder on the mountain; it’s all good.

I love my life. I love being on vacation. I don’t miss home. I know what it is; I miss all the distractions of home. There were so many people to visit with and so many problems to solve. If I got bored with one area or it becomes too much, I branch out of my little view point, my little corner of life and purposefully involve myself in someone else's. I miss fun. I'm ready to go snowboarding again. I can't wait for that. Soon. A couple of days, adjusting some vehicle issues and ready to go. 

Wah, wah, wah. So what? Am I bored? Yea, I’d have to say I am. But so what? This week has been good; normal, routine, not really tantalizing, but good. I don’t like this feeling of blah. I wanted to get out of my funk, so…I put on my jams and got cleaning.

Yes! A house cleaning dance party for one!

Solution Found!

A smile crept onto my face as the jazzy juices started flowing. Adrenaline coursed through my body rejuvenating energy I forgot was there. So what's new with me? Nothing. But I’m choosing to enjoy this lull in the hustle and bustle y’all are trying to escape daily. At least that's how it feels. And it’s starting to feel better and better.

As for the walking and the photography, I've explored all I'm interested in exploring in this town and with this random snapshot blog.  I feel very confident in my ability to navigate the area, so I’m thinking of photographing purposefully. I am no longer looking for any ‘ol random shot, I think I’ll theme it up for a bit. We’ll see which theme will spark my interest tomorrow.

Oh yeah, here’s today’s picture. It’s a little ‘eh’, but tomorrow is a new day.

Thanks for checking in.
