Ice Cream Satan

Ice cream. I love it. So much. Ben and Jerry’s half baked. Phish food. Hagen Daaz. Bryers Mint chip. Give me some more. I have had the largest cravings for the last couple hours and kept thinking “You’ve been doing so good lately, you deserve a reward…”. Nobody will fault you if you just have a little bite to give you a quick boost…. I say to that “BULLSTUFF!”

I made a goal to do a pull up. I’m going to do that damn pull up even if it kills me. I’d rather die trying to reach that goal than live with a belly full of Caramel Cone.. Okay that is lie. Caramel Cone is eff’ing delicious, but not today Ice Cream Satan.

This is a short blog because I have to run to the store and buy ice cream. Just kidding I don’t run anywhere dummy. Look I’ve made a promise to myself a few months back and I’m not going to let myself down. No one but me would know if I cheated, but I’m the only one that matters in this equation.

The point of this short memo is to let all of you know that I’m out here suffering as well. A good kind of suffer. When I wake up tomorrow I’ll know I powered thru the craving, I’m still firmly on the path to glory, and that will give me the confidence to do another day. You can do whatever it is. Don’t let that stupid ice cream satan voice in your head talk you into deviating from the journey. Success is waiting for you and I to show up. 🙂

There is power in numbers. Comment if you’re with me.

Perfect

What is up?? Let’s get right into today. Being the best. I strive for it in everything I do. I’ve had many people tell me that I’m the type of person that is good at everything I do. Maybe not riding motorcycles, but we can all agree that day sucked. I do however take pride in my work, my play, my ability to think, and all the other things that come about in my life. I believe everyone should think this way. They should take pride in their work, their marriage, their kids, their home, and their body. Ahhh you knew I was going to get there.

I’m on this health kick if you haven’t noticed. My perfection can become a downfall and I have to take notice before it starts to chip away at the progress I have made. I have this tick in my brain that wants all of my activities to be the absolute best every single time, but that has created a mountain that can’t always be climbed. In fact it stops me from even putting on my climbing shoes. I somehow decide if I can’t do it perfectly, I should just not do it. Sounds kinda stupid once I type it out.

I want the weight loss. I want the energy. I want to feel good about myself. I think about working out, but then I have thoughts like I’m tired, I’m not feeling that awesome, I’m this/I’m that, or I’m just being a pansy. If I can’t do my workout like a beast then I should just wait until I feel better. That is quitter mentality. The truth is right there in front of me, but I’m not wanting to see it. This week has been a hard one, but I pushed thru and learned a very important lesson.

Who cares. Who cares if I’m not 100% into the workout every single day. What matters is I complete it. Maybe it takes an extra 22 minutes. Maybe I have to take an extra break here and there. The importance is that I simply DO IT. The mental win is better than “killing it”. My heart fills up with self pride every time I finish no matter how much time it took or how I looked doing it. I know I took another step up that mountain and nobody can stop me from completing the climb. Nobody, but myself that is.

We’ve all heard the slogans. Just do it. Never give up. Keep trying. Blah blah blah. It is all crap if you don’t put your shoes on. If those slogans worked every American would be in shape right now. It is hard to do what I’m currently doing. Way harder than I originally thought, but I don’t care how difficult it is. I’m going to succeed. I weighed myself today and I’m down 8 lbs in a month. I wish it was more, but that will come.

Perfection is the goal, but I had to learn that the path leading to it is filled with imperfections. That is a very deep sentence so instead of telling you to read it again, I’m going to type it out again.

BREAK UP WITH HER

Motivation. What a crap word. It is a waste of energy and accomplishes nothing. Holy smokes Bucky how can you say that?? Cause I’m smart. Motivation is cause of every 1/4 finished project in the world. Go look at your garage that is kinda organized. One corner is not in chaos from that one Saturday you felt motivated to finally tackle that mess, but something came up so you couldn’t get the job finished. Cool. Now you just gotta wait another 6 months for the motivation fairy to bite you again. Let me know how that works out for you.

If I can’t get things done being motivated, what can I do Bucky?? Nothing you’re screwed. You will be a loser forever so just stop trying. I may as well tell half of you that because most of you might read this and then you’ll grab a bag of skittles instead of going for a walk at lunch. You’ve been lied to for your entire life, but for that quick minute you actually feel motivated you’re King Kong. Once the buzz wears off you’re left with nothing, but a half finished hangover. You’re now the King of not following thru. That sucks. I know because I have that same title under my name more often than I’d like to admit, but today is accountability day for all of us.

I’ve kicked motivation out of my house. She kept showing up drunk at all hours of the night, eating up all my food, and then trying to get a piece before passing out on my couch. I’m done with her. How do you get over a girl?? Sleep with her sister. This is still FknBucky. Okay back to my point today. The real answer for replacing motivation is to take obligation for a spin. Holy Moly. Are you saying to not be motivated, but to be obligated??? How will that help?

Let’s break it down and quickly because I know you are dying to watch clips of dogs running into glass doors on IG. Be obligated to yourself. BOOM. It is that simple. Look at yourself and say “I’m going to clean this eff’ing mess up.” Enough is enough. I’m going to lose the weight. I’m going to read the book. I’m going to take the classes. Now that you’ve broken up with motivation and going steady with obligation you can actually finish some of the amazing things you know you’re capable of.

Now the best part. Everyone likes to shove their success in the face of their ex. Take a pic of your family, people you care about, or even yourself and look at it every single day. Use that picture to remind yourself why you HAVE to stay obligated. That picture can motivate (so you’re saying there is a chance) you from time to time if you need a bump to keep you in the game. As you stack up wins make sure you give obligation a smack on the ass and say “Thanks Baby!”
