Another 3 day week...on accident.

Sorry about the lax on the blogging. I never do it over the weekends and I've been sick these last two days :/ which means my eating has suffered and I haven't been working out. Today I'm getting back on track with eating and gonna start working out again tomorrow. Alyssa has been sick too :( which totally lowers my motivation to work out :P after the Hawaii trip...I ate well for three days, then I got sick. So I'm pretty much back to where I started which is frustrating. It doesn't take much to go from doing so well to back to square one. Arg. 

Breakfast was 1/2 costco blueberry muffin, second half is for snack later today...lunch is chicken dumplings my mommy made, and lots of water for the day. Dinner is going to be something at Stanford's...thinking ill do salmon or something healthy like that. 

I reeeeeally don't want to be at work today. I need a new job ASAP. And I'm really aiming on finding one in Vancouver...the taxes and the commute are killing me :/

So I've realized that as a general rule in my life...I need something to look forward to in order to help me complete my goals. For example...just getting through work, I tell myself I get to go home and read my book and snuggle with James. That's just a small one :) and doesnt always work as motivation. Hawaii was obviously a big motivator. And James and I are probably going to a Winterhawks game on Friday which is something to look forward to. And he has the weekend off so we can actually spend time together :) (he worked Saturday and Sunday this last weekend and it sucked!)

So I need to plan something fun. Only problem is...fun usually needs money to happen :) at least a little money. And these past couple pay checks have been sadly lacking due to vacation and being sick :/

I'm seeing a connection here. It's like a circle. Getting healthy means being sick less. Being sick less means going to work and making money. Making money means I can take care of bills and have some left over for fun. Having some left over for fun means I can plan things to look forward to. Planning things to look forward to motivates me to do and be my best. Doing and being my best causes me to be healthy and there's the first part of the circle :) hmmm. Amazing how it can get thrown off so easily.

Waiting for groupon to send me my sketchers fit band :) then I can start posting my calories burned and steps taken...and it tracks my sleep too! Awesome. 

1 1/2 hours down...7 to go!!
