Finally Got to Run

I finally made running happen yesterday.  Its been a very stressful week, but running helped.  Classes started on Monday, but my financial aid isn't coming in until the 3rd or 4th so my supply of food is low at best.  I stopped by to see if they could release my funds earlier just so I could eat, but alas they could not.  However, I was at least able to purchase my textbooks through the bookstore with fin aid.  The downside, I had to purchase all my books new, so $430 later....

I cashed in some change and got a sandwich and then went for a run.  I did the run 1 minute walk 2 with a 5 minute warm up and 5 minute cool down.  I was pouring sweat by the end of it.  I spent breakfast yesterday making a new playlist for running purposes.  Most songs labeled good for running are of the pop/club music variety and I'm not so much into that music.  Instead, I did a special search and came up with my own playlist comprising of folk, trip-hop, and rock.  I don't have time right now, but perhaps later today I'll post my playlist online.  Its a lot longer than 1 run's worth but that just means it will take a while for me to get bored with it.

Fitbit Fiasco

This week was not so great.  I worked lots of extra hours, and  I sometimes feel like my primary function is to baby sit adults.  I didn't get enough sleep this week, and I have been ravenously hungry.  I have at least figured out what caused The Hungry.  I quit taking birth control about a month ago and its hormone time.  Que all the usual suspects: hunger, fatigue, irritability, and general aches.  On the bright side, my knee has been feeling better so I have been going for short walks.  While I did not stay under on calories, I did meet my exercise goals, so at least I've got that going for me.  Now, onto the Fitbit story! I'm sure everyone knows what Fitbit is and the line of fitness products they offer.  ( www.fitbit.com )  Through a health program at work, I received a free one about 6 months ago.  Unfortunately, I lost it after a short time.  Then I started having knee problems so I never purchased a new one....

Bipolar Owl

I'm out of town this weekend so I didn't have much time to find what I wanted to post about.  I think my next big post is going to be about the stigma of taking medication, so for this Saturday enjoy a meme about bipolar meds. 

What I want

I want an extraordinary life where I do extraordinary things.  In all the turmoil I have been experiencing lately, this I can say with absolute certainty.  I want an extraordinary life where I do extraordinary things.  The next part of this is figuring out what that really means for me.
