Day 38

In attempts to break the sleeping cycle, here I am awake and doing things that promote a well functioning lifestyle. I woke up before Andrew, well after his 2nd snooze alarm, and started the day with breakfast and not zoning out at the TV screen. I think I may be slightly addicted? to television as it still feels like I should be going to see what's on or what I have TiVo'd from the night before, effectively promoting a little zombie playtime.

This morning I've broken the spine on my coursework book, paid some bills, put some laundry in the wash, ate breakfast and a snack by now, cleaned some dishes, folded some laundry, researched a little, made an eye appointment, sat on hold for a doctor's appointment and eventually hung up, and my day's maybe 1/3 over. What a few extra hours in life can do for you!

I have yet to meet some friends at the gym and fill an obligation this afternoon, as well as cleaning, deep cleaning, the house before company comes over tomorrow. I have an apple core and a half full glass of water on my desk, not a candy bar wrapper and an empty coke can. I'm still me, but I'm a much better me today.

Notes:
-After going to the gym, I had a couple of appointments to make and I already ate my Fibre One bar that I took with me for a snack, so for 3.5 hours after the gym, I was starving. I am always very hungry after a workout and if I don't eat within that 60 minute threshold, I start feeling nauseated and get a headache which is what happened tonight. After eating and getting more water in to me, I'm now feeling quite nice. 'And dinner?---HALF of my hamburger, NO appetizers, and NO dessert!!!!!!!! It's rather shocking.
-Workout was okay. I wasn't feeling in to it today because of all the stress I feel like is coming down on me. Even being pumped this morning for not watching TV and accomplishing a lot for me, I still feel pressured to get things done. Contentment is apparently out on holiday today!
