Day 13

No work today, what a wonderful day! I got up this morning, had some breakfast in the form of fruit and then mowed my yard, which took about 30-45 minutes. I then went to the gym and did 45 minutes on the ellipticals. Now, how you say, can you do 45 minutes without getting bored? Three Ways:

1. Watch TV. UT and TCU were playing against each other in college baseball. On the other TV screen was the original Power Rangers Movie. Brought back a lot of memories.

2. Listen to some upbeat music. On my playlist were songs from Lady Gaga, B.O.B., Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Michael Buble, Chino y Nacho, Aventura, and La Roux. I basically choose anything that's TOP 40 Music.

3. Think. Time to think about your future, your next day, your life. Thinking about all of this stuff makes the time go by really really quickly.

After working out, I went to Whole Foods to get ready for Seth's "Homework". He wanted me to get up earlier and eat breakfast. So what I did was get all the things I will need for the whole week and then place them in Tupperware, and label the days accordingly. I got Greek Yogurt, Mixed Fruit [which consisted of Blueberries, Strawberries, Raspberries, and Blackberries] All of those fruits by the way are in season for this summer. I also got some peach granola, which will be delicious with the yogurt. I might have a egg, but for now, I still hate eggs and I still hate breakfast. What I also got there was some dinner when I got home, and all in all, it was a great day today. Now I have to study for my summer school class.

Thought of the Day: Motivation and Support

It's difficult to get self motivated and to support yourself in your journey to lose weight. Working out with a buddy or a friend is extremely helpful as you can push each other to work out. Having a personal trainer [like Seth] helps me get pumped up to exercise and for once really, just leave all my problems outside. Another great way to get the support is doing the classes that are available. When you take a class, you may meet others just like you, and you might even have fun doing it. There are different motivations and supporters out there, it's just where to find them is the hard part.
