January's practically over and I have yet to do anything with my New Year's Resolutions. I could blame it on a ton of things like a new job and challenges of the new job, but that would be a complete lie. The reason I haven't gotten to the gym as much as I'd like or made homemade meals for the boys is simply that I'm lazy (in reference to the gym) and I'm completely unorganized (in reference to the homemade meals).
So, instead of beating myself up and doing the "woe is me" song and dance I decided to pick myself up and dust myself off and start all over again. Isn't that a line from a song or something? In either case, my fitness goal for this week is merely to get to the gym and my cooking goal for this week is to make dinner twice. There's small goals, but when you're starting from zero I think (at least in my case) that it makes sense to start small.
I did make it to the gym this morning and I've already picked out something I want to make this week for dinner. I'm hoping that starting out small this week will help me make big changes. In the long run, I'm hoping that small changes will lead to having some sort of stability to hang on to when the big $h!t hits the fan with work or with moving. We'll see - I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
Hmmm. How come the stay at home dad doesn't make the homemade meals?
You don't have to answer. I think I know why and it has something to do with a Y chromosome.
But you are seriously excused from feeling guilty about how often you make homemade meals when you're the one who works all day.
