Day Forty Seven: Awww, Snap, Reality?

Despite the fact I had a most amazing time on the weekend, it felt like a lot longer than three days. That amount of fun would normally be spread over maybe a week or so, and it's left me a little detached from my daily obligations. 

How I feel about work / family

If you need to be told this is probably not good for you...
maybe you need more schooling as much as a new diet.

So I spent most of today re-learning what it's like to be a vaguely responsible member of society. I bought a grabone coupon for a sports massage (yuss please!) and laughed at the NEEDNT list (luncheon sausage? What, people over the age of eight still eat that?). I only really eat 13 out of 49 foods I'm not meant to and even then, they're treats, not dietary staples. 

That sounds a bit elitist. In all reality I care very little about my diet, which is the reasoning behind it being on the 'goal' list. Because I probably should care more. Let me just put that out there because I scoffed a bunch of chips today. 

Fitness: It's hard to even feel vaguely motivated about exercise when bits of you hurt to move through half a rotation. It's probably a good thing I don't use my left arm for much other than leaning on. I can't even play wii as the TV up and died. I have to wait until Friday before it's replaced. First World Problems.

Aikido: No training today.

Derby: No skating today. I looked out the window as I was leaving the house - and it was sunny. Part of me said, "C'mon, take ya skates in today. What else are you going to do?" the other part of me responded with, "Nurse my whiplash until I don't hurt so much, you can damn well wait until tomorrow." So I left my skate gear at home. Because I'm a little scared of myself when I get angry. 

Diet: Two weetbix with a banana - I've used light blue milk for over a year now, but thanks anyway NEEDNT - two cream biscuits and tea, sushi bowl for lunch as I caught up with the wife and exchanged weekend stories, and then for some unholy reason I came back upstairs and consumed vast amounts of peanuts and crisps. Dinner was pork, salad, cauliflower cheese, potato cheese (yes), and a fruit salad with yoghurt for dessert/starters. 

Sleep: I think I have developed possibly the worst sleep habit imaginable. I know my alarm still works, I've tested it. That being said, my alarm hasn't woken me up for the last couple of weeks. Instead, I have a sneaking suspicion that the below sequence of events occurs in the morning.

6.45am - alarm goes off

6.45am and 0.3 seconds - I turn my alarm off without coming completely awake

6.45am and 0.6 seconds - I am asleep without imprinting any memory of the last 0.6 seconds

7.15am - I wake up properly, confused and unsure as to why I slept through my alarm again

Considering I need to leave the house by 7am to be 'on time' for my daily schedule it's kind of annoying - fortunately Mondays don't matter so much. It's always the time spent at work that gets compromised rather than my after school activities, which is fine as "work" isn't on my goal list. Anyway, I got around seven hours last night, which is great because that's all I really needed.





It's actually insanely early for a Monday to be wrapping things up (only 9.30pm) but it feels like time for a shower followed by cartoons. I wanted to do some push ups but my neck/shoulder area is very against the idea. Maybe in a few days... for now, it's hot water and wheat bag time.
