Wednesday was difficult. I mean difficult in the way that I was really stressed about a lot of things, and I was worrying so much about my schedule again that it left me really overwhelmed and upset. I finally went grocery shopping, and cooked dinner - we made baked avocado w/ sriracha crab meat - then went to sleep still feeling a bit down. We also did face masks Wednesday night which turned out a bit scarier than expected but was kind of a funny experience. They were really slimy on the skin but did feel somewhat refreshing.
Thursday, I went to class, worked out - I had a good thirty minute run but lately my left rib is protruding from my stomach and it actually really hurts to walk and run so the first ten minutes was really painful. I'm not sure if I should continue to run like this but obstacles to my working out keep popping up which is extremely frustrating. In the evening, I had a meeting, then I went home and worked on homework and fell asleep a bit early because I was pretty tired.
Friday morning I had class, then I tried to run again but ended up just doing weights instead. In the evening, I went to see an acquaintance perform at the UT Rez Week (Christian events) Performing Arts Showcase, then watched the Casino Royale James Bond movie and went to sleep.
Lately I have been really stressing myself out with scheduling; I find that I think way too much about when I have time for certain things and trying to get everything done that I need and want to that it really makes some things unenjoyable. I wish I could just enjoy life and go through each day as it comes but I get really caught up in time, especially making time for my workouts and for eating. It's a bad obsession that I need to break.
Writing this post is kind of reducing my mood just thinking about it but I'm just going to have to start being more chill about things.
Yesterday morning, I went to the gym in the morning and did a quick ab workout before going to lunch with my friend. My rib has been really hurting today so I didn't run which was kind of upsetting for me but I was also really hungry so maybe it was a good thing.
We tried a place that sells acai bowls and smoothies called Blenders and Bowls - I've never tried acai so it was pretty nice to be able to have an acai bowl. I ordered the "Beach Bowl" which consists of an acai, mango, and coconut water mix topped with granola, strawberries, coconut, and honey. It was really filling and tasty. I feel like it would be really easy to make if I just had the acai berries, because it's just all fruit and things I have around the apartment but I have been wanting to try acai bowls for a long time now so I'm glad I did!
I really want to try doing yoga; there's a yoga place next to Blenders and Bowls and I was thinking about it more and more and I think it'd be a really good challenge for me because I'm used to fast paced workouts and not relaxing and focusing on movement and balance. Even if it's just something I try once or twice I would like to experience it.
In the afternoon, I tried to do some cardio by running but I was feeling quite exhausted and my rib was hurting so I went home and showered, cleaned up a bit, and worked on some homework. I then met some friends for boba, but I really should have eaten too because straight after I went to karaoke with KUSA for a social, which ended at around 10:30 and I hadn't eaten since lunch so I was famished.
The social was pretty fun- I sang a Backstreet Boys song even though the pitch was a lot lower than I can sing... and everyone seemed to enjoy it. The karaoke place was very nice and gave me a complementary drink and an extra twenty minutes which we were thankful for.
Afterwards, a couple of us ate at Magnolia Cafe - this time I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich and I ate way too quickly due to my hunger and felt a little gross afterwards but I was just so hungry at the time. I need to start balancing my meals a bit better and I really tried yesterday but again, scheduling just got to me and I didn't have time to cook a dinner or pack something. I should've just at least grabbed a granola bar but I didn't really think to.
This morning I just woke up and it is around 10 am. I thought I was going to a Garden Festival at the park today but I'm not sure because my boyfriend has come down with a cold and I'm not feeling that great either - I definitely feel a sore throat. I've been breaking out recently for who knows what reason & I accidentally fell asleep with my contacts on so my eyebags are pretty obvious this morning and I just feel like I look awful and feel awful so it hasn't been the best start to a day but we'll see where it goes.
Positive things!
- Spent a lot of time with friends yesterday
- Despite being unable to run, I have been having good weight workouts
- Brother has been accepted to really great colleges!
