I laughed outloud AND felt sorry for the robot all at the same time! By the way, I thought this was a great post! I have a hard time coming up with interesting posts to. And at this very minute, I'm trying to convince myself to go upstairs, put on some workout cloths, lace up my running shoes, and head to the gym. It's hard, so hard. "Weeping, weeping" “Weeping, weeping…” I laughed outloud AND felt sorry for the robot all at the same time!

“Weeping, weeping”

Day. and still have tons of interested readers. I post four days a week, and if I don't for some reason, I imagine I can hear the tiny number of readers I do have deleting me off of their favorites menus. FOREVER. To feel more inspired about posting (I will say I feel inspired often - is it interesting for anyone else to read? Probably not, but at least I'm having fun!) I like to look for themes in what's going on in my life. A little introspection is good for the soul, I think. I keep a journal like Kyla - it's kind of interesting to see things come together. Like - wow - here are all of these examples recently of how I'm getting super old! This is theme! ;-) I think you’re doing great sister – and I admire your ability to not post every. Single.

It's so difficult to stay motivated! As for blogging, I'm only just starting again after like 2 or 3 years off and I'm struggling with that, too! If it wasn't for Ten on Tuesday I'd probably totally fail at having it updated with any regularity at all!

I tried doing it in the mornings but I FAILED. I am not a morning person and I refuse to wake up earlier than I really have to. That left me with no choice but to do it in the evenings right when I get home from work. I asked my co-worker to modify our schedules so I can come in earlier some days and leave earlier. Some days I get home at 5PM or 6PM and immediately go to change into my work out clothes and leave to the gym. I find it difficult to go to the gym if I sit down or get into something after I get home. It also helps that I have a working out buddy, my dad, and it's hard for me to turn him down. Another advantage of working out after work for me is that I get to de-stress from work at the gym. I absolutely love feeling refreshed afterward. Good luck with running!!

I use the weekends to write the majority of my blog posts and I have a ton of lists of what I want to write about in my iTouch. Every time I think of an idea to blog about, I write it on my list. And I also pre-plan what I'm going to write about about 2 weeks in advance, unless something else comes up that I really want to write about. There are sometimes when life just gets too overwhelming and I just have no inspiration that I have to take a break from my blog for a while. It happens so don't feel too bad about it. :) In a way, I take the same approach as Kyla.

I'm with you exactly- I hate getting out of my bed, work full time, am finishing 2 classes at school, and I'm just beat by the end of the day. I'm interested to know what your running regimen is? Do you just head out and run as far as you can or do you do a running plan? You’re doing better than me in the running and the blogging.

Honestly, blogging is meant to be fun (for me, anyway). I don't force it, just keep ideas tumbling in the back of my mind. As soon as an idea stands out, I jot it down, or rehearse a couple of sentences, or ask my cats their opinions--anything to grasp the inspiration until my fingers have a chance to qwerty away.

I despise working out - despise it & am so lazy & tired & miserable all the time - & I just don't know how to snap out of it and make myself get into shape & get moving. Teach me your wayyyys. Ugh.
