Bachelor Day's

Well only 5 weeks and 3 more days to go. Man you guys suck, not a single comment. I feel so lonely. :(

Anyway, I had promised myself and my wife that I would start going to the gym after she took off and I have to say it's incredibly hard to get motivated to go and punish yourself. At least when you're going with someone else they are being tortured as well. The thing is once I get off my lazy ass and do it I definately feel better about myself, it's just that whole getting my butt in gear that is the problem.

My wife left on Friday, it is now Thursday. I was planning on going to the gym on Sunday, but totally skipped out on it to do nothing more than veg around the house with the dog. I did finally go on Monday, but the whole time I kept telling myself in the back of my mind, you can go tomorrow, just wait one more day. But, I packed up my stuff, stopped listening to the voices in my head and trucked off to the gym. It was painful, very, very painful. The cardio went alright, I did my 30 minutes on the eliptical but when I started doing my leg presses, my legs started turning to jello. I was on the home stretch with a few more excercises to go for my weight routine when I had to stop, my heart was just pounding and I was starting to feel nauseous (maybe I'm pregnant).

So, I felt sore the next day and tired. It's been a while since I last worked out, but I told myself that I'm going back Wednesday and Thursday. Because tuesday I was going out for dinner with the wife of one of our friends and the other couple (her husband was out of town on business). So, dinner went well on Tuesday, but on Wednesday after work I went shopping and bought a bunch of food so I can make some meals at home, and I convinced myself to not go to the gym. I'm such a sucker for myself!

Anyway, tonight I'm already trying to come up with excuses not to go to the gym, but really. I need to get my ass in gear and just go already and get it over with. Add to the fact that I should probably also go on Friday to make up for the fact that I didn't go on Wednesday and that should be enough punishment for my body this week. But it all starts all over again on Sunday.

Anyway, I'm really missing my wife. I even miss the phone call that I usually get during the middle of the work day, where she just says hi and I say hi and then there is silence on the phone becuase neither of us have anything to say and then we hang up. Man I'm lame, totally, totally lame.

Later tonight, if I can find it, I'll post an excerpt of a story that I started to write in high school. So that all of you will know why I didn't decide to become a writer. :)

So, if you're still out there reading somewhere, I'm still looking for ideas of things I can do while the wife is away.
