OK OK OK

It seems like I've missed a few days- Ok, I HAVE missed a few days. I honestly didn't think anyone would 'miss me' but a few friends gently reminded me that I haven't posted, and they do, actually, READ my blog. Heavens to Betsy! I better get a-bloggin'!

Ok, so this whole daily challenge thing has gone back to just one challenge a day with me. Well, with the exception of the 10 curls a day. I'm trying to make it a habit, but I understand that it can't be unless I do it 30 consecutive days... whatever. Textbook definition my butt, its a habit. Rusty and I also actually, for real for real, joined Planet Fitness. I'm proud of us. I'll be prouder when I see the weight going bye bye :P Its about time we hold ourselves to a higher standard. Right? Right.

It was a long, miserable weekend for us, for reasons that I'm not going into in public. I found myself in a familiar predicament where I knew that I had to do several things, but "I didn't feel like it." Don't get me wrong. It's ok to entertain that feeling once in a while, but, since we're talking about habits, don't make it one. I'm calling shennanigans on the 'textbook' definition of habit anyway. I can start a bad habit in the blink of an eye. Doesn't take me 30 days.... just sayin.

Anyway. So there I was, not wanting to do anything. I don't want to make dinner. I don't want to do the dishes. I dont want to move. I just want to watch TV. So guess what I did???

I made dinner.

I washed the dishes.

I moved.

....and I still watched TV, but the point is, I realized the path I was about to go down and I did an about face. If I could do that every time I feel like I'm going down the wrong path, I'd be golden. In fact, I'd like to find all of the "wrong paths" and put up warning signs... "PATH CLOSED, WRONG ONE!" Hah. There's only one problem with that. What's wrong for me, may not be wrong for you. Or him. Or her. Or anyone. It would be really wrong of me to go blow our savings account on an iPad or a new TV, but maybe that's not necessisarily the 'wrong thing' for someone else. Sure, there's a debate about consumerism and debt in America in there somewhere, but I'm not getting into that. Not right now.
Right now, I think Rusty and I have managed to identify most of the "Wrong Paths" in our lives and are doing our best to stay off of them.

Sidenote: I really don't like the Steelers. I'm having a PartyLite Party, and several of my "confirmed friends" have cancelled because the Steelers are playing on saturday. COME ON. They're not going to win... don't make me say I told you so. (Yes, I realize that if they do win I'll have to retract that.)

Moving on. Today's challenge ticked me off. I'm supposed to put a box on the floor, wad up a piece of paper that was ready to be thrown away anyway, and practice my 'hoop skills' with it. What? It also said to get my co-workers involved. 1) My boss can't hit the broad side of a barn with a tank, so he's out. 2) Encouraging non-productivity in the workplace isn't very 'productive' at all. 3) I missed. LOL

So there you have it. Don't call it a comeback. :)

Until next time....
