As I start new habits, I seem to be failing at the old ones. The new habit of going to the gym, has been going okay, as I have gone twice now, and accomplished my goal of going on Tuesday and Thursday. The wife joined me on both days at the gym, and she’s being doing yoga every day this week as well. So, she’s taking this more seriously than I. In fact, today, she told me that it’s okay for me to go to the gym by myself, that I don’t have to wait for her. I took that to mean that I need to go to the gym more.
Also, we did okay with thirty days of not drinking, which means that that we didn’t drink during the week. So, that got a mix result. We are going to continue the process of cutting back on our drinking, after the Super Bowl weekend. We do have junk food plans for Sunday; wings, nachos, mozzarella sticks… gorging mainly. Beer and bourbon will be involved as well. Not that we care about the game. I’m here for Snoop Dog and the commercials.
The old habits that I am failing on is writing. Normally, I journal every weekday, but for the past two weeks, I have been only getting on two days. Also, I haven’t been working on any new material. Yesterday, I forced myself to go to the local library and write for an hour. It wasn’t the easiest work, but I got about 500 done. I fear that I am losing the drive to work. To actually make the time and follow through. It’s like the thing I want to do most, I let myself get the most distracted from.
Either way, I’ll try again.
