What is my problem

it's called lack of motivation. i am so not motivated to get back into my workout routine. i am unsure why, because i am getting unhappy with my appearance, how out of shape i am feeling (especially having to now lug around a large format camera, supplies, and a heavy ass tripod!).

i plan on utilizing the school gym this quarter. i didn't like it, but i just don't have the money to get a new membership somewhere else. plus i've reduced my calorie intake and it's so very hard. i didn't realize how much of the stuff i ate. and fitting in all my servings of vegetables? harder to do than to say. i'm not a big veggie person.

but enough beating myself up.....i have some names i'm toying with for domain names for my website. i also have a bunch of photos to scan to put up on my page. so many photos to choose from........

i did go to the beach today. i usually go up to the north end but damn too many people today. so i went to the south end. was nice, still a bit warm today even later in the evening. but i am going to go more. i have lived here at tybee island for a year now and didn't go much to the beach during the summer because of classes. now when i move, i'm going to be WISHING i was at the beach. it happens to everyone. so i am going to go at least a couple of times a week. i do go to the beach but usually to do my jogs. i don't sit and enjoy it. so today that's what i did. brought my camera book and read and relaxed at the beach for a couple of hours.

no dogs are allowed on the beach so i was watching this couple who had their dog. it would be nice to be able to take them on the beach but of course because other people have to ruin it, NO one can have dogs on the beach. but the south end is a lot quieter and i know of a couple who lives down there and takes their dog with no problems. then i see a cop. i wonder if the owner of the house near where the couple was sitting called them. because i have never seen a cop at the south end of the beach while i've been there. so anyway he takes like 20 minutes to write up a $250 ticket (that's the minimum fine). at least i'm assuming that's the amount. so then it looks like their day was ruined because the couple began arguing and they packed up and took their dog and left the beach.

guess your day is pretty much ruined when you get a ticket AT THE BEACH

that's sad that you can't let your dog run on the beach. that would be half the fun i think of having a dog near the ocean.

good luck finding your motivation again. i seem to have lost mine too. maybe it's just that time of the year.

one thing that was always stressed during my master's training, ignorance is no excuse. another that was stressed during my time in the army, you can do anything you want in this world as long as you're willing to pay the consequences.

it's a bummer that they got a ticket for something so petty.

anyways, hope you're having fun... ;)
