Finding my zen, again

In my constant effort to find inner peace, I have found that working out helps to burn off alot of my excess energy. Without that outlet, I find my agitation rises. The biggest problem is that in my world, it's often exercise or sleep. And even though research shows sleep is better, I'm starting to really think maybe I'm the exception to that rule. I feel better having exercised, even if I'm working on only 6 hours of sleep. Not that I don't love sleep too! But I can't nap. It makes me more tired and zombie like.

I would love to be a 30 minute catnap kind of girl. But instead I just suffer it out. And usually all those around me suffer with me! Sorry people!

All this to say I got in a nice partial workout today. I'm not up to full steam of where I was before the move from San Diego, but I'm making progress. My elliptical's computer is dead, and the new one won't be here for a month, so I'm running until then. I just really don't enjoy it. But something kinda not fun is better than me not doing anything and being all agitated. So here I am, typing sorta peacefully, still mourning my elliptical. Hope it doesn't rain tomorrow so I can repeat my slightly un-enjoyable run.

Hmmm....

So this is interesting. My dear friend Jasmine has requested/suggested I start a blog. Apparently my non-stop opinions should be published. Not entirely sure I agree, but I have a short attention span, and lots of crazy things happen in my world, and I don't know that I'll ever get around to "writing my book" so we'll see how things go.

Today is a lazy Sunday. So far at least. Slept in a bit to try to recover from last week. I started my new job this week.

I am also a bit "off." My balance needs tweaking. I didn't work out yesterday, and may not get around to it today. Which makes me feel 1- guilty and 2-lazy (and less like working out). Ugh. But Jasmine's blog always makes me feel more energized. I commented on a favorite snack this morning on her blog...I always carry a Z bar with me now just in case. About 100-120 cal, all organic, no high fructose corn syrup, and they are made by Clif bar people. YUMMY!!! Love the chocolate chip and new blueberry flavor. AND WHY do I have to always have a snack? Because I become the wicked witch if I don't eat on my set schedule. I can have a huge breakfast and need a snack in 2 hours. Which doesn't make much sense. And even worse? I don't always recognize that I'm hungry. My hunger shows up as 1-nausea, 2-crankiness, or 3-weakness. And if I go 3ish hours without eating? I bypass normal hunger, become ravenous, and combine all 3 symptoms. Not cool. So I am now off to snack.

Thanks for visiting. I wish you well.
