The Seven Deadly Sins - #2 Sloth

sloth      

noun \ˈslȯth, ˈsläth also ˈslōth\

: the quality or state of being lazy

: a type of animal that lives in trees in South and Central America and that moves very slowly

 

I think it would be fun to write about the animal sloth... or even Sloth from the Goonies, but instead I'm writing about being lazy.

 

I'm lazy.

I know I'm lazy.

If someone tried to insult me and said "Geesh Holly, you are so lazy!"

I would say... "Yup. Duh!!"

I currently weigh more than I have ever weighed.

I work a part time job.

I sit on my a$$ most days watching ION television.

Back to back episodes of Criminal Minds, Blue Bloods and Ghost Whisperer.

ION is almost as bad as Netflix.

I have a membership to the Y and for awhile was going 5-6 times a week.

Then I stopped.

For no reason really.

I'm just freaking lazy.

If I was in the movie Seven with Brad Pitt, I would for sure be the person that was killed for being a sloth.

Even over gluttony.

I am not proud of it, but at the same time, it just is.

I know if I lost some weight, started feeling more in shape I wouldn't be AS lazy, but I have always been a couch sitter, television watching, kind of person.

I like going out and doing things.

Traveling.

But I LOVE being home.

I need to get that work out/get in shape bug again.

When I do get it... I do pretty well at losing weight and getting in shape.

It's just a mind over matter type of thing and right now... my mind is all sloth-like.

What are your main motivations to get you off the couch?

What do you do to not become lazy?

I just can't seem to get my mental focus on losing weight/getting back in shape.... and I don't know what to do.

So I will sit on the couch, with ION playing in the back ground and go to bed at 9.

Maybe I'll be motivated tomorrow.

Maybe not.
