Making up for Lost times

He he, literally and figuratively, I watched Lost most of the evening in between doing some of the things on my to do list. I didn't actually make it to the gym but I had decided that before I left work. I've promised myself that I'll wake up and go to the gym early on Wednesday since it's Whirly Ball night. Other than not going to the gym, not going to bed early, and not finishing hanging and folding all of my clothes; I've accomplished pretty much everything on my list unless I missed something. All in all it was a good night. I was lazy yet productive. I'm ok with that. =D I'm tired, Blog, I'm going to crawl into bed and let my wind chimes lull me to sleep.

18 Days Later: But I didn't have the zombies to blame

Hmmm, I'm searching for a good excuse for my time off. I don't really have one. I was a little PMSy and the problem was compounded by the stress of cramming for the Madhatter event. I fell off the wagon, and started hitting the sauce and eating junk. I couldn't really force myself to do what my heart wasn't into, so here I am. Stuck in the middle again. So, yes, here I am. Trying again and determined to make it happen. Time is a ticking away. The devil tells me so.

I've had variations of the conversation with a couple of people today but I'm turning into a boozer. I've never been a huge drinker, I have my drinking binges but I think that's a LOT of my problem. I'm drinking alone, I'm drinking with others, and when I'm not drinking I'm thinking about. I'm exaggerating a little to make my point but I just don't get it. So, while I'm not saying good bye to you Mojito, I am saying you aren't welcome unless I invite you. I'll be drinking at Steve's party but I've got to demonstrate some semblance of self control.

Eating bad is just killing me though. I feel icky and old. My bones are all achy like Billy Ray Cyrus's heart. My synapses aren't even firing like they should. I have a shrunken dehydrated head, in the inside. So, I'm putting an end to it. I know I'm complaining but this is for my benefit so I can remember why I don't enjoy doing this. Why, once again, I'm trying to close that chapter of my life and reinvent myself.

Positive Changes:
  • Today I'm not drinking
  • I'm eating healthier today
  • Taking my vitamins
  • While I drank a diet Wild Cherry Pepsi; I didn't enjoy it and I forced myself to drink 24oz of water before I could have one.
  • One day this week, and maybe more than one day, I'm going to workout in the morning. This is something I want to be a habit.

Things To Do Today:

  • 40 minutes of cardio and abs
  • Put away all those CDs I started unpacking
  • Finish putting away all the clothes I moved over from the old apartment
  • Collect my TV Tuesday stuff (ie. recycling, laundry, Netflix for Ash, and Bender's Big Break for Dad)
  • Dishes/Clean Kitchen
  • Measure table for Lisa
  • Go to bed on time and think very seriously about working out tomorrow morning
  • Watch Lost on the net, I'm freaking ready for more!

Just don't get it in my eye...

Phew, just got home so this is going to be a quickie since I'm covering for Gwen tomorrow.

I took an off day today since I forgot my workout clothes but I did go up and down 3 flights of stairs four times. I also saw a couple of friends of mine, Robert and Elena, and it really helped motivate me. Elena has been doing the raw food diet with great success. I've been wanting to try it again because I felt so much better the week I did it for. I'm going to try a different approach this time. No. More. Cold. Turkey.

Things I Accomplished Today:

  • Zack is a pimp and picked me up an external hard drive case so I did this through him... ok, I did nothing but I feel like I accomplished something by asking him to pick it up for me
  • Took all of my vitamina vegimin and drank all of my water before I left work
  • Found two new routes
  • Did this, even though I'm ass tired and want to crawl into bed

Things I NEED To Do Tomorrow:

  • Find Uhaul place in Lewisville (Might be the one Dana used in Corinth off of 35)
  • Schedule my truck for Saturday
  • Buy beer for the boys
  • Move crap out of the laundry area/couch zone
  • Get rid of crap on my hard drive so I can force that 80 gig to work it like a dancer
  • Be at work on time
  • Take those two boxes back to work
  • Have a moment of Zen while watching the devil clock's goatee swang like it just don't care
  • Work on my magnets and fez (mental note: Zack needs to get me fabric if he wants a fez or I can look at Grannies on Sunday... or felt at Wally World)
