The weekend was a wash; I got writing done on Sunday, but didn't get enough to feel comfortable with on Saturday. The clock restarts today, where I vow that I will write at least 30 minutes every day from now until the end of November.
That isn't the only project I'll be starting today. After watching a video and doing a little bit of reading on sugar and what it does to the body, I thought now would probably be a good time to try and quit the addiction. Make no mistake; I'm addicted to sugar, and it's gotten to the point where I'm slipping back into old terrible habits like making sure there is candy around me always, so that I'm never without an opportunity for that quick, sweet hit of glucose. I think that this addiction to sugar has been behind the general, low-level agitation I've felt constantly, the inability to lose weight, the crashes in mood and energy in the evenings. I know that it's going to suck trying to get myself out of that hole, but hopefully I'll be better for it rolling into December.
I'm also going to try to walk two miles every day to get myself used to, you know, being active -- and I'm recommitting myself to daily meditation practice. Between the walking, writing, meditation and diet, I'm hoping that I'll be able to start the holidays on the best foot possible and have decent momentum going into the new year. :)
Tonight, after writing, it's pretty much all schoolwork. I have a paper to write, essays to annotate and an email to write to my professor telling her I'll need to miss class tomorrow. There's no way I would be able to concentrate knowing the fate of the free world was being decided, likely right then.
I hope all of you have a wonderful Monday. See you tomorrow. :)
