Thoughts

Ok. So I'm not motivated. Now what?

Here is the strange part. I've admitted my complete (or nearly) lack of motivation.
So guess what I did after I posted that last thing?
I could've gone and eaten ice cream. I could've had cheetos (more that the prepackaged 100cal pack even!). I could've done a lot of things.

I took a shower and did wall pushups.
10, rest, 10, rest, 8, rest, 6, rest, max (14).

Guess I wanted to prove myself wrong or something. (which is awesome)

It'd be better if I'd done floor pushups (on my knees, but still...). But it would also be better if I ran 40 miles and jumped a bunch of tall things. (Ok, maybe not the jumping. I don't like heights >.<) The point is I did something.

Honestly I don't think I'll be able to do those floor pushups for a while. My shoulders are strong enough (not for that many, but I can do a few), but my knees are shot right now.

A good friend of mine turned 20 on the 16th and he, 7 guys I didn't know, and myself went paint balling for about 4 hours in a wooded paintball range thing. Awesome, but my knees are bad to begin with. Sprinting, dropping to the ground (hard), and crawling are bad for the knees.
Ironically while my left knee is bruised to hell from getting shot it's my right knee (not bruised at all) that's giving out on me still. Ah well. Stretching, ice, pain killers and such for a few days will set me right enough.
