 pazazygeek had a couple thoughts.
I really need to focus on sharpening my morning and evening routines, both at home and at work. I really struggle with the problem of either having too much structure or not enough, though. Still, giving some thought to what I should do first thing in the morning, and when I come home in the evening would be good. I find that I come home after work and I immediately start doing things that reinforce bad habits, not good ones. Same thing in the morning! And when I get to work. Perhaps I’ll journal a bit about it tonight, since journaling 2x a week is one of my rules! I’d actually love to hear a bit about what positive things you do first thing in the morning or when you get home that jumpstart your day or evening! pazazygeek checked in with the Crane.
This is a glooooomy day and everything feels like it’s not going my way and I am feeling very whiiiiinyyyyyyy. But – I had a great workout this morning and I am really looking forward to getting home and making dinner and working on some projects. So it’s not all bad. :) pazazygeek checked in with the Crane.
No major plans for labor day – this summer was very rough on me and I’m trying to even out! My big plan for today is to get my haircut and clean my house, so that I can relax for the rest of the weekend. pazazygeek checked in with the Crane.
Ready to kick this month’s ass.

I am starting to feel a little better. Stress levels are high. Moroseness is low. pazazygeek checked in with the Lizard.

Currently living in the Bermuda triangle of suck. Social life, love life and work life are all BALLS at the moment. It’s a super sap on my confidence, but I know that I’m looking it through a prism of crazy lady hormones and I will be for the next few days. All I have to do is be patient, kind to myself and brave and I’ll be in a much happier place soon! Yesterday’s advice about how to deal with raging PMS was fantastic. I read (and then re-read) that article about self-control being a limited resource. And I made excellent choices, if I do say so myself, in taking care of myself when I felt really low last night. I ordered a healthy but relatively decadent chinese food dinner, turned my phone off, and went to bed really early. Backed out of some social plans that I knew were likely to just cause me some confidence and anxiety issues considering my current state of mind, and watched Law & Order SVU until I fell peacefully asleep. And I skipped the gym this morning and slept in – I’ll go tonight. Yay for taking care of myself and learning more about my limits, so that I can work around them instead of being snowed by them! This game has been a major help in that, and this community has been even more helpful!

Thank you guys so much for your support and fruit yesterday! I am feeling much better in the energy department. Unfortunately, I woke up today with the most wicked PMS in the history of herstory. Everything is a terrible annoyance today. Earbuds falling out of ears, leaky coffee cup lid, guy on bus clicking his pen repeatedly, these are usual normal annoyances but today I can feel ACTUAL STEAM coming out of my ears. This guy bumped into me at the coffee shop and made me spill some coffee and I actually thought about punching him. Anybody have any tips? My plan for the day is to simply drink water, attempt to laugh at my hilariously short fuse and take some evening primrose when I get home. But any other suggestions to ride this storm out are very welcome.

I lost 2 life points because of the following things…
I fell off of the wagon this weekend. Then instead of getting back on the wagon, I set it on fire. Then I smoked the wagon. Then – I laid slothfully in the middle of the road and thought about knocking other people off of THEIR wagons and then setting fire to said wagons and smoking those, too. This weekend vacation with my bad habits is hitting me hard today. I got up, and I went to the gym, but it was a S-T-R-U-G-G-L-E. I did my best but I am not in the best mental place and I feel like I have a huge hill to climb. I get it, though. The wagon is better. It gives me more energy. Time to get a new one.

You made it to the gym at least! Also, had you not fallen off the wagon, you wouldn’t have been able to entertain us with your hilarious description of aforementioned toppling!

I am going to have to plead for fruit. Again. |

My husband and I have been trying out the “Slow Carb” diet, and one of the important things is to eat a breakfast high in protein within 30 minutes of waking up. I was worried that preparation would take too long, but over the past couple of weeks we’ve got it down to a science. He makes the coffee and I make the food. I can usually crank out both of our meals in well under 10 minutes: scrambled eggs with spinach, breakfast sausage, beans, and some salsa for flavour. I keep expecting the day to come when I just can’t be bothered, but so far having it down to a robotic, easily repeatable series of steps means I just do it without even thinking about it.
First thing I do in the morning is go make breakfast. Once that’s done, I bring it into my room and make my bed and set out my clothes for the day. It helps to have breakfast things that don’t require much thought because my brain doesn’t really start to function until about an hour after I wake up.
When I get home, first thing is to wash dishes and plan for dinner. No sitting down! Sitting down leads to watching an episode of TV and doing the whole ‘well, just one more’ thing until bedtime and dishes are not done and the house is a mess.
