Things that Fly!

Pepperrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Was feeling kind of low today, might be getting sick. I think it might be one of those 24 hour tumors that have been going around. I repetitively let errily long droaning sounds escape out my mouth and pretend my life is just like a movie. And when I'm not throwing cards into a hat...

I decided today that an inordinate amount of toxic influences permeate my life. I used to be a lot more conscious of it but have some how slipped. I don't drink as much organic tea anymore, or organic anything. I haven't been eating healthy at all lately in fact. In fact I have hardly been eating. But because I've stopped exercising I feel like I've put on weight. I think eating healthy is one of the most important things about living a balanced life. I feel more relaxed, and less on edge when I'm on a regular meal schedule and eating lots of vegetables and healthy portions of lean meat like chicken and tuna. I think diet is something people almost totally neglect when they take evaluation of their mental health. So today I really was feeling kind of down. I'm kind of sick, kind of moody--a little em0t10nally unstable-- and thinking it's probably the culmination of a lot of bad little habits adding up (in this order; work, lack of sleep, coffee, chococlate, and lack of exercise).

So starting tomorrow I'm beginning a sort of summer training program. I usually run a lot in the summer but haven't started this season yet. It's supposed to be 20 out tomorrow so what better day to start!? Starting tonight I will begin a schedule of sleep allowing for no less than 8 hours of rest a night. No more coffee, or chocolate (or candy--Damn). I don't know that theres a lot I can do about work, but I don't think it's a good idea for me to pick up weekend shifts when my cheques are already filled with 10-15 hours of OT. And ummm, what else...I'll pick up some Spinach and tuna, and almonds, and dates (my favorite) tomorrow to get back on track with eating more of the good stuff. Check back for updates, I'll need your support to make sure I don't cop out, all one of you.
