Comittment Issues

Today I finally realized something.  I think I've known for a very long time, but I just didn't want to admit it.  Now, please bear with me because this is a little difficult to admit.  But...I have a commitment problem.  This may sound crazy since most everyone knows that I am so excited that Chris is finally talking about getting married and buying a house (yay!) and that I can't wait for all of that to happen.  So, just to clarify, I have commitment issues that have nothing to do with other people...just myself!

For example, I quit P90 with only a month left until moving on to the next workout regimine.  But, to be fair, I had come down with the flu for a week and I just couldn't get back into my exercise routine after that.  And then, I tried giving up facebook for Lent but failed miserably at that too!  My track record with things is just horrible!  So, I have decided to give it all a try again.  For the past week, I keep telling myself that I want to start exercising again but I just haven't gotten around to it.  I have also been thinking about giving up facebook for a while.  Being addicted to my computer for hours a day and not getting anything done is just not working for me anymore.  There is so much that I want to do and it just never seems to get done.  Maybe, if I give up social networking for a while, I'll have better luck.  I think the reason my facebook boycott will work this time because I'm doing it for myself.  I guess we will see.

I also want to start exercising again.  I loved the p90 workouts the first time so I see no problems with me starting them up again.  Sam also brought me some African dancing workouts that I've been dying (but too scared) to try them!  Maybe I'll even brave the horrific heat and go for a walk or two!  haha...Only time will tell.

So, (I'm stealing this from you Emily..sorry!), I'm challenging each and every one of you to pick up a hobby you used to love but stopped doing for whatever reason.  Do something that makes you happy, that brings you joy!  

  

What Ever Happened to the Golden Rule?

I came across a post on facebook today that made my skin crawl.  Bullying is a subject near and dear to my heart because I have been there and know how horrible it can be.  I feel the need to stick up for those who are the target and I will speak my mind even if it does make me unpopular. 

A friend I went to High School with had a conversation over text messages with another girls husband where he supposedly admitted he cheated on his wife.  Since the wife owed my friend money and hadn't payed her back, the friend decided to post the conversation to her facebook wall to let everyone know the girl's husband was cheating on her.  What made the whole situation worse was that everyone was commenting on the post laughing and saying the wife deserved it.  While I do not know all the details on what has been going on with my friend and the wife, I did not feel she deserved that kind of treatment.  Maybe I need to keep my mouth shut, maybe I should learn when to pick my battles.  However, as many of you know, I have a hard time keeping my opinions to myself and decided to post of the friends wall.  I am actually embarrassed for her.  My friend looks like such a jerk for doing that and if the husband was cheating, I am sure the wife doesn't want the whole world to know.  I mean, we all know how fast news spreads on facebook...especially bad news.

This situation is so messed up.  My friend (who really isn't my friend anymore since I deleted her) is a mom to two young girls and the way she is acting does not seem like "model behavior."  Maybe I should have kept my mouth shut, but I just felt so bad for the wife.  It isn't my place and I know that...but what is done is done.
