How time fades some good things.

We've all felt it, anything new loses it shine over time, new paint, a new tv, a new relationship, they all "fade" a little bit and become comfortable or get discarded for something new. It's been that way with my newfound attitude.

That little part of my brain has been winning a lot lately. I've been busy, tired, and not very good to myself. While I haven't gone to Burger King and ordered the triple Whopper (is that even necessary to have on the menu?), I can do better.

I feel like I'm off the wagon, clinging to the tailgate getting dragged through the mud. Still determined, but I'm getting dristracted. I thought this morning how nice it would be to have that March 31 attitude all over again.

Then it got nice outside - have to have a beer in the sun, then I might as well have a JD for a nightcap (or three). Forget the blog, I've got nothing to write, well, nothing positive anyway.

So, here I am. I've lost some weight, my workouts are going well, but I need to track my progress better to motivate the other parts of my life. I need to get that attitude back, it felt good to be winning. It felt good to treat myself well. Sure, it's some work, but it was paying off. I really didn't have that moment of breakthrough, until just now. It was mental. I was in charge, I made the choices and they were for my betterment. Good things were happening and were only going to keep happening. No wonder the little bastard didn't want me writing, I hadn't realised any of this when I started typing today.

A counter attack on that part of my brain is in order.

  1. Hey Bud,
    Maybe your thinking of the blog as a place you have to write a paragraph or two or ten everytime you look at it. It looks to me that at the beginning you wanted this to make you more accountable for making the right choices. It's your blog and maybe a sentence would be enough of a comment a day? It actually kinda pained me to think though that in a future visit I might have to drink alone. :)
