Just some rambling...

I have so many drafts of different blog posts and ideas but unfortunately between a last minute trip into the city and finding out some terrible news I have had little time and little motivation to finish those posts.  I am still in the mood to organize things and better myself in some way or another but I am just lacking the motivation to do anything right now.  It is not even 9:30AM where I am and I'm awake.  For someone who is twenty one then I guess that could be considered an accomplishment but I am also an early riser by nature.  I've eaten breakfast and I'm drinking my coffee hoping that motivation or inspiration will hit.  If you all are wondering... its been a good half hour and it hasn't.

I am starting to watch what I eat again.  I am hoping that if I keep track of that and ease myself back into exercising then I will lose the ten pounds or so that I gained this past semester.  I have decided to start running.  Let me tell you - it is not easy.  I tried last week and lasted only a few minutes.  My goal is to run every other day and just try to run as long as possible.  I will run today but I am not sure I will have a chance to run again until 12/28.  The 26th I will try to do something such as yoga or weights.  On the 27th I will be helping to move my sister so I will not be working out.

With only two days left until Christmas I have left so much to chance.  I have bought my presents, decorated my mini tree in my room and that is about it.  My room is an absolute mess right now along with the rest of the house.  My family had not planned on going into NYC for the weekend.  It was a last minute trip to visit family before the holidays.  We were supposed to spend the weekend getting the house ready for Christmas and relaxing.  The trip though was wonderful.  We had a lovely time and the weather was beautiful.  Despite some fog and cloudy skies the temperature was in the sixties - almost seventy!  Up north, where I live, there is still snow on the ground despite the above freezing temperature.

I feel as though the only way in which I will actually accomplish anything today is if I write it down and make a to do list.  In order to keep myself accountable I will even post it here:

• Workout - treadmill and weights
• Clean kitchen
• Organize books
• Bring what is mine into my room
• Clean my vanity
• Laundry
• Make my bed
• Clean room

Lets hope I can accomplish all of that.  I am giving myself until 4:00PM to do all of this.  I may need a few more cups of coffee through out the day.
