My motivation’s gone right now. I’ll need to spend some time looking over Fat Loss II to get myself prepared mentally. I’ve been skipping workouts and I need to decide whether I genuinely need a little rest before thrusting myself forth into more hard workouts, or whether I just need to suck it up. After all, it’s hard to get motivated when you know you’re in for a grueling workout. The body starts to say, “Hey, hey, let’s sit down.”

On the upside, I’ve dropped below 160 lbs for the first time in ages. I want to get stronger, I want to get bigger, but goddamn it, bulking to fatness is just stupid.

On an unrelated note, I decided to find my old linear algebra book. That single goal causes me to clear out the entire floor of my closet, creating a mess that took me two and a half hours to process. I still have boxes of STUFF I need to sort through. However, as a result of this, I’ve massively cleaned my room. Seriously.

Of course, a lot of this stuff spilled into the empty room where my sister/mom used to reside. Just temporary, I swear. Next will be getting my suitcase out from the dead space between my dresser and TV. That goal will clear that area out. After that, I want to get rid of more clothes.
