Motivation

It's been a long time since I've posted anything.  Last night I went to a show (The Lumineers...fun!) but today I have a hangover, called in to work, ate my feelings like crazy, and am now at the usual time in a day like today where I feel like I want to TURN IT ALL AROUND.  Have to cut down on drinking, want to lose some weight, start applying myself more at work, things are never going to change if I don't change them dammit, etc.  All of these things are true and right now I have the best of intentions.  Will there be follow through?  For now, here are some motivational online articles that I've been reading.

Okay.  So weight loss isn't the most important thing I would like to do, but when I am running and eating healthy food it involves a level of planning, awareness, and action that bleed over into the other parts of my life.  Feeling healthier affects my physical self, my happiness, my relationships with others, my attitude and motivation at work, and my feelings of accomplishment and sense of self worth. When I am working on my health I drink less and spend less money.  These are both other areas of my life that I want to work on.  Considering how many parts of my life are improved when my health is better and I'm taking care of myself is it really worth the nights out and piles of fast food?  Not really.
