Things to be Thankful For

Being over worked while being pressured by a workaholic boss is no easy feat. And the funny thing is it is really easy to let myself be caught up in the craziness and beat up myself over e-mails that are delayed, projects that are put on hold, and presentations that are well past their due date.

So tonight I am going to try something different and think about the things that make me happy and remind myself that maybe it isn't all that bad after all.

- Had fried mushrooms and shrimp tacos with siblings tonight

- Will be going out for tapas tomorrow night with siblings

- Am able to pack my luggage for my pending trip of 9 days all into my backpack. Package includes: sleep liner, 2 pairs of pants, 3 dress shirts, 2 t-shirts, 1 set of pj's, small wash towel, black wedges, and a 15 in macbook. With plenty of room to spare for 2 pairs of socks, underwear, and other random knick nacks. Yes if you can't tell, I'm proud. And it will be all carry on for me baby!

- Have the most awesome pillows...EVER!

- Allowed my self to buy cool random stuff from REI

- Ankle isn't bothering me that much, so maybe a run is in the near future.

- Weight has been relatively maintained +/-1lb after a week of inactivity and eating...(nom)

- I am most likely not dumb dumb when it comes to putting together my work in science talk, just simply inexperienced. And the only way to fix this is to trudge through this current experience.

- Tomorrow will come one day at a time, just breath and everything will be ok.

Hopefully everyone else in the blogsphere is doing well, and if not, it is okay, we will all be okay in the end.

Yoga!!!! ....or not...

So the closest I ever got to yoga was printing out the pass and placing it into my bag. Work today was so mentally straining towards the end that all I wanted to do was to eat, veg out on the couch and read blogs from the comfort of my home. And now, I'm laying on my bed, and trying really hard not to pass out cold since there are still mountains of laundry to do and lunch to cook. Woe is me. Blah. Could be worse.

The funny thing about the internet is that it makes you realize that you are never truly alone. Before I discovered some of the serious blogs I read now, I use to think that I was alone in my weight issues. No one would ever understand. EVER!!! Wrong I was. Good thing too. Tomorrow I'm gonna try to get my round little ass out the door at 6:30am in hopes of getting in a morning run, since tomorrow is for a lack of better words...doomsday for paper writing and boss man wants me to stay until the paper is completely finished....even if it means ending at 4am the next morning. Tis true...it happened to the last unfortunate soul who had the joy of trying to get a paper out 2 years ago.

Well I suppose I should stop lamenting the fact that have so much to do and actually start doing it. Like Nike says.....Just Do eeeeeeeeeeT!!!
