Monday Morning Check In

Hi, Everyone!

I hope you all had fun weekends! Over here, Saturday was busy with trying to get 8 hours of sleep, squeezing in some light weights (man, are my legs feeling those squats and lunges!), my writing critique group meeting, and 8 hours of work. Sunday was a lazier day and I was enjoying vegging out a little too much. I didn't get nearly enough of the things done that I'd hoped to before I had to work last night... including only getting in a 20 minute walk instead of an hour, but I'm glad I at least got out there!

Then, after work, I went with one of my coworkers out to a dive bar where one of my other coworkers was tending bar to have a couple of beers. It probably wasn't the best decision (and I was really regretting it when my alarm went off this morning), but I had a good time. Of course, getting only 4 hours of sleep on the night before kicking off a 75 hour work week (in addition to going to see The Lion King and celebrating Halloween) is something I am sure I will live to regret at least a little.

Oh, and less than a week until my novel-writing frenzy begins, too! I've been doing a little outlining and character sketching on my breaks from the PT job.

So tell me, how did your weekends go???

  1. I didn't do ANY exercise at all this weekend. the only good thing is that I didn't eat so horrible. But then yesterday, Monday, I was so depressed. that I ate like crap. So I don't even want to know what damage I did. I still feel full. What is the matter with me?!!! I can't take this!!

  2. Don't be hard on yourself, Ritz! Something that helps me sometimes is to add up little victories. So if I eat a healthy breakfast, that's one. Each time I avoid a treat I shouldn't have, that's another one. Everytime I finish a glass of water = another. Any activity, yet another. By afternoon, I've got a small pile of little victories, and believe me, they add up! And then when I think of all the little victories I have, it makes me feel like I've achieved something and I'm that much less willing to screw up and have to start over again.
