Motivation in Action

You know how you can study a theory, understand its principles, think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, but when you try to actually apply said theories, principles, and, er, bread, to your life, you come up short?

Yeah, I didn't write anything yesterday.

I did, however, nearly finish the second of three web design projects I have due this month, and the necessary bit of information I was missing was waiting in my inbox when I turned on my computer this morning, so I might actually wrap that up today. Three days early! Then I can move on to the third project.

We have a friend arriving on Thursday, and while he's not staying with us, he is staying at the hotel where Ibis works so I'm sure I won't be at home very much while he's here (as it should be). He's bringing things for both of us -- new running shoes for Ibis and a Flash tutorial for me (as well as a box of Nutter Butters that Ibis doesn't know about, shhh...) -- which just makes me even MORE excited to see him, even though it means more work in the near future.

I feel like I'm rambling. Forgive me. This blog post is taking on the feel of an email to a friend I haven't talked to in awhile. Do you write like that? Hmm... I hope it's not too annoying for you. But, if you happen to be a friend that I email regularly, you're probably used to it by now.

Transition.

I'm still doing Jillian Michaels' 30-Day Shred even though I've passed the thirty day mark, and I think my body actually needed forty days to see a difference. Almost overnight things have slimmed down a bit more and that's motivating me to keep at it. I'm switching up the levels on different days and, man, it's like I never did them at all. She's tough! T0 my friend out there who has her video sitting on the TV: I'm still waiting to hear what you think! (I just realized that could apply to more than just the person I'm thinking of, so ALL OF YOU, get on it!)

Finally, poor Michigan State. I really thought they were going to come back. The announcers kept saying they're a team that always comes back. They didn't come back. Guess I'll have to win a Nathan Bransford contest another way.

That is all.
