So today....

.....was interesting.

I recently decided to switch up my afternoon exercise routine in order to make enough room in the afternoon for my upcoming course load. Basically, in order to fit in the amount of exercise I want to get in a day, I needed to start making myself get up and workout at 4:45 in the morning. Now, I typically like mornings. In fact, compared to some, I'm definitely much more of a morning person than anything; however when it comes to exercising, I have a hard enough time staying motivated in the afternoon when I actually have energy. I knew I wouldn't be able to make myself stick to it, so I talked to some of my coworkers.

I found out that a couple of the ladies at work get together at 5:00 every morning to exercise together. PERFECT! It's still very early, but at least I wouldn't be trying to go at it alone. Accountability is ALWAYS good in my book! So this morning began my early morning routine. To say the least, I think I can handle this :)

I also started my first day back on the 6-meal-a-day plan, which, for the most part, was fine. Though, it never fails. I always forget that I can't make my diet 90% raw vegetables. This is incredibly sad to me as I really love raw veggies......lots. But today unpleasant memories of my previous attempts at this endeavor flooded back ALMOST as quickly as the stomach cramps. Needless to say, I had to make a grocery store run after work and make some changes to my meal plans this week.

Another thing that I want to "rewrite" about myself this year is my lack of interest in politics. It's far too important to know what's going on in our country to simply ignore it. My first step toward this goal was supposed to be attending the caucuses this evening. I was pretty excited. I had read up a little bit on candidates and was ready to learn even more. So we arrive, finally find a place to park, walk in the door, and find out that this year the county had been split according to township. The one my family was supposed to attend was half and hour away! By the time we figured out which building it would be held in, we were already 45 minutes late. Disappointment. But at least I tried!

Here's to another day :)
