"Should"
Last night I slipped into something of a depression. I just got into an overwhelmed funk and wanted to do everything and nothing. There is so much I want to do that sometimes I get overwhelmed for choices. Do I want to work on my novel ("I should be") or read one of my many books ("I should be doing that too") or working on GS stuff, or doing ( Read more... ) -
Gross Day
I've been reading this book about balancing your blood sugar throughout the day, and I just had a giant carb-fest for lunch. I feel so gross and bloated and calorie-high, after I worked out so hard this morning. I shall have to hit the treadmill for a few moments this afternoon to make myself feel better ( Read more... ) -
Trust the Process
I just had a lunch that was way too big. It started out okay, but then there was dessert. And chips. Boo. I just added up the calories = 925. Not as bad as I'd feared, but a lot. I'm still within my cals for the day, though. And it felt really good to exercise this morning. I'm glad I did that. My goal is to work up to getting up on time and ( Read more... ) -
Snacks Don't Solve Problems
Today is a new day. Writing helps me take stress away, and stress is what makes me over eat. I am practicing exercising my will power these days, on little things that don't make a big difference. I can get down to where I want to be, I have done it before. Because I didn't have as many snacks available to me at the time, it was easier. I wasn't ( Read more... ) -
Procrastination
I don't know why I have such a problem with procrastinating. There are lots of things I want to do, but when I get home at the end of the day, all I seem motivated to do is veg out and watch tv. Is that a depression thing? Or do I just need to get off my ass and do the things I say I'm going to? Like, I really want to take the summer to a) relaunch ( Read more... ) -
Breaking the Inertia
So many good things are in the works, I'm not sure where to spend my attention first. I need to recharge my routine, do some things different to work around my current lifestyle. But I feel like I'm right on the cusp of some things if I would only take that next step ( Read more... ) -
Something's Gotta Give
Work continues to stress me. I am finding that it is affecting my entire life. I am holding back from applying to other jobs because I have a track of self-talk on loop that I'm not actually as good at things like multi-tasking and working under deadlines as I think I am -- all because some psycho workaholic is comparing herself to me and making me ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I spent about 30 minutes last night getting my girl scouts stuff organized, as well as cleaning off my desk. I feel much better just for having done that. I still need to sit down and go through some of that stuff, get ready for cookies and get my business stuff in order. But I feel like I'm finally taking some good steps ( Read more... ) -
On Track
I slipped a little on the diet yesterday. I had such a terrible headache after work that I went home and fell asleep, then I just wanted to eat something. Roommate had made cookies, so I had like, four of those. But I guess the rest of my dinner wasn't so bad. Vegetable soup and some mexican rice. I didn't make it to the gym though, as I was ( Read more... ) -
Morning Coffee
I did really well with eating yesterday. I was proud of myself. I didn't have time to workout at the gym, but I did dance for about 45 minutes at home. So that was a bit of toning. Tonight I'm working out, and also re-doing my costume for burlesque, I decided I don't like what I had, and I needed something more egyptian. I wish I had a bench to ( Read more... )
