''We're living in repetition. Content in the same old shtick again. Now the routine's turning to contention, like a production line going a over and a over and a over.... Choreographed and lack of passion prototypes of what we were went full circle 'til I'm nauseous...''
It's funny. I had no intention of talking about this. I hadn't ever heard the song 'til just now. I typed redundant into google and this was the first thing that popped up. Correction, my typing of redundant into google search indicates I meant to talk about redundancy, but these lyrics kind of summed up everything I had to say.
I was going to type ''I woke up this morning at 4:30 and decided it was time for change.'' But the truth is, that would have been lying. I didn't wake up at 4:30 this morning and decide it was time for change. Instead I was woken up by my precious Rudy not being so precious. He was panting right in my ear, and as pleasant of a person as I usually am, I am definitely not so pleasant when I am woken up before I am ready to be awake or woken up in a very rude/harsh way. I get all poutey and disgruntled and I toss and turn and mumble for a few minutes, but I usually can't go back to sleep. So alas I woke at 4:30 this morning ready to be a bitch. Excuse my french, but there really is no other word for what I would have been had this infomercial not been on the tv.
I fell asleep with E! on. Chelsea lately to be particular (I like me some trashy television!). Chelsea, as previously stated, was not on but an infomercial. And what kind of infomercial would you wager it was? Let me just say, had it been one for a food product that I probably would not be sitting here typing this. It was for some exercise program, called Insanity I think. As I lay there watching (hoping against hope to fall back to sleep) I heard some guy saying ''You have to want it. You want the best results, then don't hit pause!" Well it was something along those lines. However this guy was talking about wanting a workout that is an hour a day for sixty days of complete cardio insanity that pushes your body to limits it has never known apparently (maybe I should go into sales...). At the fore mentioned time, I definitely didn't want that but I was inspired. I bought this workout dvd a couple weeks back (it was a dollar at the DOLLAR TREE which is the only reason I bought it) and I have only used it a few times. Okay to be honest, I have only used it twice and the first time I used it I didn't even complete the workout I just sat down and watched the people workout til the end. I know, that is probably the laziest thing you have ever heard. It is probably the laziest thing I have ever done. So anyways I'm inspired at 4:30 this morning to get up and really start using this dvd and to make that dollar the best dollar I have ever spent.
Let me tell you I have not sweated like this since, well I don't think I have ever sweated like this. I got so into it, I was owning those people (behind the instructor) at this workout. Until we got to this box step move anyways, but I just improvised while they did that move. I can not complete a successful box step to save my life. The movements get so tangled up in my head and I end up turning in a circle. I wish I was kidding so badly right now. So I'm going through this workout and that quote by Einstein about insanity pops into my head. ''Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.'' I didn't make the connection to the infomercial 'til just now. Whoa, my mind is blown. As I'm pumping myself up higher than I've probably ever been on endorphins in my life, I came to the conclusion that my life is full of redundancy. I always talk about losing weight, and then I don't and I make lame excuses for why I haven't. I always say that I'm going to really start praying for other people, but my fervor dies after a day or two. Tons of things like that... If I truly want them to change then I have to change them myself. I have had so many ''duh'' moments lately it's getting to be ridiculous. So why should it surprise me that I had come to another one during my vigorous morning workout... But I decided that I have been adhering to the formula for insanity, I had been so very redundant and it was time to make a change.
Geeze how many times have people said that, right? To take it one step further - how many people have said or thought the phrase ''for real this time/I'm serious about it.'' Exactly. I think everyone has probably uttered this phrase at least three dozen times in their life about something. But there is always a first for everything right, so there has got to be a first time that you actually follow through. I'm stubbornly set on wanting to lose weight now. I know that sitting around and not being active is getting me no where even remotely close, and is inevitably taking me even further from my body goals. I decided, I want this enough. I think that's the knife in the insanity formula. Once you decide that you want this enough, it becomes the time that ''it's time to make a change'' becomes the actual change. Hopefully.
