Do you plan your day?

Do you plan out what you want to accomplish each day or do you drift along, seeing what shows up? I've started a new morning routine which includes setting out the three most important tasks for the day. I think this is going to help me with my procrastination issues.

I'm feeling better now

Things are getting more settled, my back feels better and I'm finally able to workout again! I'm looking forward to a work trip to Boston next month, going to Kelowna/Okanagan to cheer on my friend who's doing Ironman, starting school again, and working out again. I would really like to get into a regular routine, but seem to be unable to so far. I'm going to enjoy the next few weeks before school starts again and start sliding in to a more regular routine for sleep, workingout, groceries, cleaning, etc. I think this will help me make better use of my time and help me to get more things done that I would like to do and have some 'guilt-free' play time.

D-motivated

Feeling like a demotivated lump lately. I hurt my back when I was moving from the house to the condo. It's been 3 weeks and it still hurts almost all the time. This causes me to not work out which makes me more miserable. I need to go to yoga and do something before I achieve rigor mortis while I'm still alive. The problem though, is that I can't get my ass off the couch after I get home from work and I can't get up in the morning. I'm late for work every day. I'm getting fat. I'm feeling sorry for myself.

Am I still experiencing emotional fall-out from the events of 2008?

I feel like I'm in the worst shape that I've been in for years and it's embarassing. People keep asking me about training and that adds to my misery. I feel like a quitter even though it's because of my back. I can't sit on my road or tri bikes, only on my mountain bike and only for a short while. I biked to work today (25 minutes) and my back was just killing me by the time I got to work.

I also can't seem to finish getting my place together. Every day I think about hanging pictures, unpacking boxes and I've unpacked most of my stuff but I'm still not done. Maybe after the fence is replaced, I'll be able to organize the yard.

I just feel so apathetic right now.
