Funky

and not in a good way. I have been in a funky mood since Monday. I can put my finger on one reason, but it seems to be permeating my days. I don't like it one bit. Yesterday, on my way home, I was so perturbed that I put my ipod in my ears to listen to something motivational. I listened to Marcia Weider's (www.dreamcoach.com ) "Taking Serious Steps". I needed that. It went very well with the T-nation article that I read this morning about serious goal-setting. Goal Setting for Hard Asses by Dan John. I remember listening to Tony Robbins share about the can of dog food motivation technique. As I read John's article, I started to gag thinking about it. That is a pretty powerful visualization technique.

I brought my workout gear for the gym with me to the office. I was so tired this morning to get up to work out and know that I am meeting Matt this evening. My co-workers want to go out to lunch, but my body and mind deserve the workout. I need to employ the "no-excuse" policy in my life. Yes, that's simply commitment. I know!

I am meeting my friend, Raj, for lunch on Monday. I know that he will be sure to bring me out of my funkiness. Hopefully, I am not in my funk, but if I am, he is a powerful friend who will give me the perfect tool to change that.

My sister came over yesterday. She is not one who needs any motivation to get to the gym or eat well. She is in another post with me. She has been working out for 16 years and it shows. Through two pregnancies, she has maintained her fitness and is approaching 36 years old. People ask her to flex often. I used to make her do it too! LOL She is always great for reminding me of where I started and how I can get back to goal. It's great to have such a strong support section. Thanks Debbie, Mom, and Matt!

Well, I had to show her old footage of me from 2004. We laughed at my silliness and were stunned by my level of fitness. It was pretty awesome. I need to post some footage of my old self.
