It's one of the songs I listen to the most lately, mainly just because I have both versions (from Fiery Furnaces' EP and from Gallowsbird's Bark) on my itunes and because I put one of those on a mix I listen to tons lately.
Anyway, that's not the point of this post - the point is, I need to get on my time management. Funny for me to be saying that as I procrastinate by blogging and when I've been up for several hours and have done nothing but screw around online. But last night I stayed up until 4 doing my journal stuff, and then I couldn't sleep until like 6:30 (watched the Biggest Loser from last week that I had taped). And then, I slept until noon when a friend thankfully called and woke me up.
And now, it's after 3, which means that I don't really have enough time for my run before it gets dark (plus I don't really have a plan of where to do a 3-mi run outside; my fave Central Park route is 4, so I may end up just doing that). So, I'm putting it off until tomorrow. Which is ok, because that's what the weekend run is about, I can do it either day, and it's going to be warm tomorrow. But I have shizz to do, and I have plans tonight that involve drinking, which could make 3 miles less fun than today when I haven't had a drink in a couple days.
So, first step is changing out of PJs (yes at 3 pm), and doing some research for my paper. By tomorrow night I need to get journal assignment #2 out of the way, and I want to have also done some substantial research. And gotten my 3-miler in, and not eaten everything in sight after the party tonight. I am putting my foot down - no Chinese food, no Indian food, no chips & salsa. If I'm eating after the party tonight, it's going to be toast or something like that, that I already have in the house and that won't make me feel gross and fat in the morning.
See, it's all linked together. The level of organization in my apartment (not good), the procrastination (seriously bad), the diet (getting better but still needs work and commitment), and exercise (pretty good but clearly not on target yesterday or today). I need to get to point zero, where I feel like everything is ok and under control. I think I can do that in the next couple of days - it happened at the start of last semester, and it was awesome until I started skipping class 5 times a week to go have decadent interview lunches.... I need to stay on top of my school work and extracurriculars so that there doesn't come a time when I don't have enough spare time to grocery shop and work out. It's going to be tough because this semester is starting off so busy, but if I can make it work during moot court, then I can definitely keep it going once I get through that.
Down a few lb today, despite late-night eating (not that hi-cal, but salty). Hooray. It's got to be the kale and baked tofu - so tasty, high in fiber and super-nutritious. Tonight I've got a friend coming over and we'll either have brussels sprouts and tempeh or go to Chipotle. I'm generally in favor of not having to feed extra people since food is expensive, so Chipotle is pretty likely, or maybe we'll splurge and get Korean. We shall see - either way I think I can rein it in, plus I'll eat light during the day and have dinner once instead of twice. A girl's got to live, and my 3fatchicks.com challenge doesn't start until next week....
m1 (noon): kashi go-lean crunch, blueberries, coffee
m2 (2:30): pear, almonds
m3 (5): maybe some meatless meatballs and sauce, yum
m4 (7:30): probably veggie burrito or salad at Chipotle (don't eat that whole tortilla! it's 330 cal!)
m5: drinking and probably some toast with soy margarine (yum!) before bed
