As predicted way back in March, maintenance of this here blogitty blog blog appears to be waning. Honestly, I don't have a lot to say and when I do, it's really not of such earth-shaking profundity that I can even begin to imagine it being worth posting. So fuck it. Don't come here looking for the latest and greatest from the keyboard of Drew, OK? OK!
That said, here's the latest and greatest from the keyboard of Drew:
All my good intentions and hard work have, as usual, fallen victim to Life. I haven't been to the gym in at least a couple of weeks, and I bet I don't go back anytime soon. I got thrown off my routine back in August and that was that! I can't say I'm too surprised - this is the usual outcome of my forays into weight training - but I am a little more disappointed than usual. I was showing real results, for once. Sigh. Maybe I'll make one last push to get back into the habit.
At least I'm still bike commuting, which is nice (although to be honest, it's also one of the reasons I've fallen off my gym routine). However, a month into it, and I've reached an impasse vis-a-vis weight loss! I just sit there, hovering at 23 lbs. overweight. WTF?!? Besides the fun, and money saved, the whole point was to shed some pounds AND IT'S NOT HAPPENING!!! Fuck that shit!
Even worse, speaking of fun, commuting has drained my desire to mountain bike! By the time the weekend rolls around, I want nothing to do with bikes. I was hoping this would pass, but it doesn't seem to be doing so. I don't know what I'll do if, by being a virtuous bike commuter, I end up hating riding!
I think my friend Pete might have the right idea. Maybe sometimes you've just got to put the bikes away for a while and give yourself time to rediscover other aspects of life and, by doing so, rediscover bikes.
All I know is, right now the only things I have to show for bike commuting are sore legs, no progress on my gut, and a bad attitude. And that's no good at all.
