The Days Fly By

[mood|anxious anticipation]

I came home from work today and was faced with a big question. What has happened to me? I think I asked myself the same question a few times last week too. My routine has changed so much in the past several months. I used to ride my bicycle to work and then home. At least every other night, I would then “work out.” I would run a few miles or bicycle more every night, and every other I would lift weights. Lately, I come home and I think about doing these things, but the motivation just isn’t there. I still feel great - that is the strange part. A year ago, if I didn’t get a workout in I could feel the stress levels climbing. Today, I am on a fairly even keel with or without the exercise. Physically, I don’t feel at my peak, but it could be worse. It must be the relationship (Jesse and I) maintaining me… because it certainly isn’t the exercise!

There are so many things I would like to be doing with my fitness that have just been put on hold. The longer commutes have put a damper on things. The seemingly endless wait to get into our new home has played a role too. Soon enough, we will be in a normal routine with our own space. We will have the ability to be the authors of our own lives. A new chapter begins. I just hope I can get my ass out of this chair to enjoy it!
