LEIDEN's CalorieKing blog
Saturday, Oct 10 2009 - I need to focu.... Oh, hi internet.
View LEIDEN's food & exercise for this day
I'm procrastinating in a huge way right now. I have a reaction paper due on Monday, but I have to work all weekend plus my work outs. I'll get it done, I always do; it's just the feeling of procrastination. I love it and I hate it.
And by love it, I mean I'm indifferent to it.
There is something about the feeling of urgency that actually gets me moving, and I probably do my best work in those situations. In the long run, it's probably not for the better so I'm trying really hard to break myself of the habit. I usually write papers like this in one night, a couple hours before class. Not this time though, I'm gonna start it now.
I plan on working on it until I have to leave for work, than I'll work on it a little more after work. Once tomorrow rolls around, same thing. If I have time after my cardio, I'll work on it some more - if not, I'll finish up after work (or at least almost finish up).
I know schools important and I shouldn't put things like this off, but I'm finding it incredibly hard to ration my time.
It's not even that I'm doing a whole lot of things that are prohibiting me from being productive. I'd just rather do other stuff most of the time.
When I'm not working or studying, generally I'm: Reading, playing games, or looking up ways to cut calories/come up with new foods to eat. Sure, I can probably cut down on the amount of time I spend playing games, and I have - but it's not even getting in the way most of the time. It's hard to explain.
I just find ways to distract myself. I need to learn to focus.
Food went off without a hitch yesterday. Even though my Fridays are all over the place because my sleep schedule is all out of whack, I was pretty pleased with my intake.
I've planned out my meals for today, it's just the snacking portion I'm going to have to work on the fly with. Working a long shift at work, I'll probably find a cereal bar somewhere on my break to tide me over till I get home.
I decided I need to cut back on my calories during the day some, because I'm a night owl. I need some extra calories to throw around during the day - so I'll be making some changes over the next couple of days to see how that goes.
Also - I'm making pumpkin pudding at some point this weekend.
Pumpkin is awesome.
Nuff said.

Pumpkin is indeed awesome. I like to make pumpkin yogurt, and I'm going to figure out a pumpkin custard sauce to top my oatmeal. (Healthy, of course). I really hear you on the procrastination. It is the bane of my existence, but then again, here I am at CK when there's stuff to be done. Wouldn't it be great if we could just focus on one aspect of our life at a time? Weight loss. Done, check. School. Done, check. Work. Done, check. That would be so much easier than having so many pots in the oven - for me, something always ends up burned. Good luck getting stuff done this weekend. Get to work, young man!
