Nothing At All

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Uh I'm gonna kick my feet up and stare at the fan
Turn the t.v. on
Throw my hand in my pants
Nobody's gon' tell me I cant, no

I'll be loungin' on the couch just chillin' in my snuggie
Flip to MTV so they can teach me how to Dougie
'Cause in my castle I'm the freakin' man
Oh

Yes I said it
I said it
I said it 'cause I can

Today I don't feel like doing anything
I just wanna lay in my bed
Don't feel like picking up my phone
So leave a message at the tone
'Cause today I swear I'm not doing anything

Nothing at all

Truth be told, I did not want to get out of bed today.  I did not want to go to work.  I did not wan to eat right.  I did not want to train.  I came up with every excuse there was... and a few I am sure I invented.

Oh, I got out of bed and went to work. I did what I needed to do, but I did not do much else.  I did not run today.  I was tired.  It was rainy.  Valerie was not home when I got home from work.  The boys were playing with friends and really should not be left alone.  I did not eat the right foods today.  I was tired.  My back was sore, etc., etc., etc...  The end of the story is -- I just did not feel like it.  I got home from work, had a handful of nuts, which led to a couple of handfuls of my wife's Chex Mix, which led to a handful of M&M's -- before dinner.  I then sat down in my chair and watched a movie with my family.  

I did not feel like exercising.  I did not fee like eating right.  I did not feel like writing this blog.  Today, I did not feel like doing anything... nothing at all.

I am not sure if this is a common thing for others.  Maybe this is a normal "happening', or maybe I am just simply being lazy.  

Further, I STILL don't feel like doing anything.  It is only 7:30pm and I could easily brush my teeth and go to bed.  I feel confident that I could sleep straight through too.  Of course, the reality is that I would wake up at 2:00am and not be able to get back to sleep, but a guy can dream.  I have several things to do.  I just don't feel like doing any of them.

I have been told that the times when one does not feel like training are the times when one receives the most benefit from actually training.  I have also been told that you are much more likely to act your way into feeling than to feel your way into acting, so just get up and do what you need to do.  Get off your duff and go run.  You will feel better.  You will reap the benefit of the training.  You will release the endorphins... blah, blah, blah, yadda, yadda, yadda...

I don't feel like it.  I'll do it tomorrow.  Today is over, tomorrow never comes, free beer tomorrow.

Proverbs 27:1 Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.

James 4:14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring

Today I don't feel like doing anything....

Nothing at all.
