getting back into shape...

i know... i know...
if you know me you have at least heard me say that at least once...
and i've never actually committed to it!

i'm going to try...
i signed up to the rush...
i'm going to yoga once a week...

but with a bummed knee, i can't really climb...
but i will still try to climb some easier, vertical things at the the gym...
maybe not as much outside, but i'll try...

i'm going to try!
my goal is to get stronger and drop some pounds...
i want to weigh 135 - 140 again!
so i'm going to try and accomplish that by August 2010! 6 months should be enough!
RIGHT?

psych...

where has it all gone??!!??
school...
work...
pets...
house chores...
homework...

when i'm at work... i don't want to climb...

when i get home from school or work, i just want to sit back and relax... not train/workout

i got to yoga on wednesday's but i don't think it's enough to get me going again!

i don't know what to do anymore...

i see so many people excel in their climbing all around me...

and then i get disappointed that i'm not exceling, but it's all my fault because i don't do anything to improve...

i'm just climbing the same i have been for the last 2 or 3 years...

i havn't done anything at all...

i can only blame myself... i'm just lacking the motivation...

are there any solutions to my problem? maybe i just need to rope climb again instead of boulder... maybe i just need to find a climbing partner to train and climb with... i don't know!

hopefully i'll figure it out here soon!

i'm thinking of joining the rush... so that whenever jimmy goes skateboarding i can go work out... i'll have something to do besides sit on my butt watching TV...

i'm also low on energy... need to fix that as well...

the many things that i have to work on to eventually get better at climbing... but when will i persue these goals???
