I don't think that it has really hit me that this year was the summer Olympics. I still get excited when I see something about it. When I watch the trials, read the articles, so many different things are running through my mind. It is when you start to realize you are untalented and that you are weak. These are my four top thoughts when watching the trials.
1. I wish I could do that.
Who doesn't wish that they could flip across the floor and fly through the air? Or swim across a pool that fast, or jump so high to spike a volleyball...because I know I want to.
2. Man, I am lazy.
I am literally sitting on the couch right now watching the trials. I am eating and being lazy while these people are incredible athletes....AWESOME.
3. Why don't I have that six pack?
I do my crunches but why can't I be perfectly fit with a six pack. They are in such great shape and again, I am over here........
4. 'MERICA
I think during the Olympics is when we have so much pride. USA USA USA. I think this is when people bond together over one thing just like we do every year on the 4th of July, now we are just doing it for sports.
So hopefully you enjoyed the summer Olympics. Use it for motivation to go out and exercise. Don't think you can't do it because if you practiced like they did, you probably could. However, still have that American pride.
