Week 9 Day 3

Signs that your day is not going well.

1. You pulled a muscle sleeping. That's almost as bad as getting winded answering the phone.
   
2. Your glasses have broken for the 5^th time in a month and now you are out of crazy glue.
   
3. Your eye appointment is scheduled for today and now you'll have to listen to the eye doctor chastise you for waiting so long to come when he sees the "Revenge of the Nerds" tape job you have on your broken glasses.
   
4. You didn't win the lottery last night.
   
5. You really had planned on winning that lottery and now those glasses are going to cost you groceries for the month.
   
6. Despite your love of what you do, your company is on financially shaky ground making every drive in seem like torture.
   
7. Non-stop and seemingly unending road construction makes the drive actual torture.
   
8. You're pretty sure the kick-backs politicians received from the shoddy road crews not working on that construction did not go back into the economy, well maybe the Argentinean economy.
   
9. You're done for the day mentally, physically and emotionally and it's only 9am.
   
10. Since you didn't win the lottery you are back to your 2^nd retirement plan, dying at your desk
    

Other than that the week is going fantastic so far.

Despite the back pain, I have been sleeping very well. Damn it if eight hours a night isn't better than four.

I even did a bit of weight lifting this morning. Dumbbell work and some leg routines. I am looking to make 6-6:30 my workout time in the morning and the evening. Yesterday I spent the half hour walking around Kroger getting bananas and vegetables and bread, so I counted that.

Exercise time is the time you invest in yourself. If I am willing to spend 3 hours a night trying to level up a character in WoW, I should be able to get a half hour in the morning and a half in the evening to build my actual self up a little.

Also, starting this week I am trying to wean myself off of "Big" meals. Up to now I have been using large servings of veggies and salads to compensate for much smaller meat and cheese and noodle and bread servings. I used to eat a huge plate of pasta and then I'd eat a small pasta and a huge salad, that kind of thing. Used to eat 4 sandwiches for dinner, now it's two and I am going down to one. Generally, I think the idea of feeling full is fueling some of my worse choices of meals when I am eating out. This notion that I won't feel like I am bursting at the seams messes with my head a lot.

We'll see how that goes.

I missed measuring and the weight is sitting at -23.4 as of this morning so nothing too exciting there. I ran down my BP measurements and will post those too.

Later.
