Rationalization, is an enemy. Just like my mom and sleep.
I'm going to start making a list of things that are enemies.
Last night at youth group, I was sitting next to a guy who was drinking a cola. My gosh. It looked awesome. And I started rationalizing why it would be okay to have just one sip. Just one.
I told myself it'd be okay because I'm kind of having a disappointing fitness week as is, and if you're doing bad... why not just do worse. Right?
Then I was like: Well, I'm loosing weight as is, and I'm doing really good. One sip won't hurt.
Then I was like: Well, a cola would be really good with this ham sandwich.
Then I was like: What could it hurt? Lots of people drink cola.
Then I was like: Hey You! Get me a tall glass of milk and a cookie! Stat!

I didn't drink the cola, but I wanted to.
I substituted it with cookies and milk.
As I'm figuring, even if I don't eat well or exercise enough, still replacing cola with water is a good thing. Almost enough, I can get right back into the Get Fit Tommy campaign when I return from New Orleans. But, if I drink just one sip of cola, then the next sip will be okay, then the sip after that, then the next 10 cans.
No. I have to be done. I think when I reach my goal of 30 days, I'm gonna go another 30 days.

Semesters Over, Parties, Cookies, and Star Gazing (Or, When Birds Attack, Again.)
Today was awesome.
Since, my goal isn't just to be fit, but to have a lifestyle of fitness (including, physical, financial, spiritual, emotional, et ceteral) I'm going to update you on some areas of my fitness in my life.
But, lets back track.
This is mostly a blog on physical fitness, but seeing as how we're physical beings, physical fitness touches upon everything. So, that's what I meant up above.

Today started shaky. I'm in poor financial shape, and well, that can start any day in a shaky way. But, lets not dwell on the past.
My last class period was awesome!!! I absolutely love my creative writing teacher! I'm gonna miss her this summer, of course, we're hanging out in two weeks, so I guess I won't miss her that much.

Work. Boring. Except I got attacked by a bird, four times.
ATTACK OF THE BIRDS COUNT: 6 bird attacks.
I've decided that birds are vicious and vile creatures, full of hatred and rage.
The other day I was watching two ducks in the Fox River. They were doing one of two things. Either they were mating or one was trying to murder the other.
Since, mating and murder are so closely related, for example they both are brought to us by the letter "M", they could've been doing both.
One duck was mounting the other duck, which led me to believe it was mating, if you catch my drift.
The mounting duck, or the alpha duck, lets call him Conan the Duck Conqueror, was taking his bill and shoving the other duck's head, lets call that duck: Willy, underwater trying to drown it.
This is why I'm confused whether if it was mating or murder. What do you think? Lovin' in the water? Murder on the riverside? Or, simply a bad date?
Either way, in the past week I've been attacked six times by red-breasted blackbirds, and I saw ducks trying to do something or other to each other.
That is why all birds are vicious and vile creatures, full of hatred and rage.

After work I took a very long walk that ended with some star gazing.
I'm canceling my walk tomorrow, and I'm going to do it again.
You should join me.

EXERCISE:
approx. 4 mile walk.
