Seriously… I’ve tried everything. It works for.. ooh a month, two months tops before I loose motivation. Its easy to say I want to loose weight, but the actual getting up and doing it is the hard part. Especially since I am unbelievably lazy.

I figure the easiest way for me to do this is slow and steady. 10 lbs a month. Seems reasonable. 2.5 lbs a week. That’s do-able right? Maybe? Hopefully? It better be.

My problem is that I keep putting it off. I’ll do it tomorrow is my motive. So I am a procrastinator and lazy.

BUT Today I actually got up and did something! I got my yoga mat ready, drank some water.. and then I did some sit-ups, reverse sit-ups, toe-taps, and anything else I could think of to do on a floor mat with the exception of push-ups.. I hate them.

I guess that brings me to the problem of my arms. They are weak and I don’t know what to do with them. I know I could do push-ups and my arms wouldn’t be so weak, except my arms really are not ready to do push-ups yet. I need to work them up to that (if anyone has any idea of types of workouts I can do with my arms that would be appreciated).

I guess that’s all I can do today. I’m slow and steady after all! Now I have to drag myself off to work.

Its only been in the past year that this goal has really grown on me. I grew up in a airport town, and not once did it ever occur to me to want to learn how to fly a plane.

I started a new job last September at the airport. Since then Ive met at least 25-30 pilots, and all of them tell me great stories from when they have been flying. Ive seen 100s of pictures that they have all taken from the air, and its inspired me to want to learn myself.

Now I just have to figure out how I go about achieving this particular goal!

That’s all I need. Truthfully, they sound like excuses, but that’s all I need. More time and more ideas.

Maybe I need to get a little bit more organized. I come up with ideas for short stories when I’m in the weirdest places, so I can’t even write down my thoughts. Or I become inspired when I’m standing in line at the check-out in a store, but I cannot rush home and hop on my computer to start typing away.

Maybe I need to be a little bit more time efficient. I waste my time, all the time. If I were wiser, I would be using the extra time I had to be writing my goofy stories instead of playing Sudoku.

Maybe I’m taking the steps in the right direction. I’m admitting that I need to be more organized, and little be more wise. So maybe I am heading in the right direction. Or maybe this could all be another excuse.
