The Learning Curve of Taking Care of Yourself
This week is really shaping up to be one of the best I've had in a while in terms of working out and eating right. I've worked out at least once each day and have kept bread and nutritionally dull foods out of my mouth. This morning I woke up 10 minutes before my alarm was supposed to go off. Having an internal clock that just naturally works was kind of amazing and made it so much easier to get out of bed.
Here I am 12 hours later though and I'm yawning already with a Zumba class to rock, a grad econ paper to write and a supper plan to develop. Just writing that sentence stressed me out.... I've said over and over again that preparation is the key to making this work but time management is increasingly more and more important. I'm finding that I've been so busy that when I sit to take a breather I panic because I feel like I should be doing something... Clearly I'm forgetting something if I have time to sit and relax...
I did just shorten my 12 day stretch to an 11 day stretch though so that's something! I'm taking May 2nd off so I can catch my breath. Learning to take care of yourself really does have a curve to it. Budgeting time so I stay healthy, work hard and advance my career, and have the quality time with Ben and my family I want is going to take more practice than this. Exercising is supposed to help me have the energy to get through all this stuff but my yawns are telling me that's a load of crap.
Seeing how I have at least 2 more hours in front of a computer screen contemplating Japan's economy, I'm going to cut this post short before I stress myself and my eyes into oblivion.
