M3:D48 Rest day but not enough rest



What's on my mind today?

Today was my day off from exercise—a rest day. Imagine my concern and surprise when at 2:30 a.m. I was wide awake.  Let me tell you, I was literally wide awake.  I could not be any more awake if I tried.

I got up and had a protein shake and laid back in bed.  I eventually did some reading and fell back asleep at 5:00 a.m. but just for a little while. 

The rest of the day went as planned.  I had some work to do catching up on paperwork and things.  It was just an uneventful day.

I learned a few important lessons today while journaling.  I am not yet ready to share what those are, but they will have an impact on my future missions.

I watched I Think I Love My Wife today.  That is a pretty funny movie.  It is all about a guy who is married with two kids, but, in his words, he is bored.  He flirts with a former fling, but doesn't let it get beyond flirting (at least not until almost the end of the movie).  During the course of the movie the main character learns alot about himself and his marriage.  In the end he figures it all out and all is good.  There are just some hilarious lines in the movie.

Funny Quote #1:

Richard Cooper: [from trailer] Chicken again? I'm losin' my finger-lickin' mind over here!
[moves to leave]
Brenda Cooper: Where you goin'?
Richard Cooper: To get some duck!


Funny Quote #2:

Richard Cooper: You know, some people say life is short and that you could get hit by a bus at any moment and that you have to live each day like it's your last. Bullshit. Life is long. You're probably not gonna get hit by a bus. And you're gonna have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years.

So think about it.  You are going to have to live with the choices you make for the next fifty years, so why not be certain about those choices?  You can choose today to get in shape, lose the fat and build muscle or you can live with your fat body for the next fifty years.  What's the better choice?
