Funk
Just a quick one since I have a few minutes and have nothing else with which to fill them. I'm going to a meditation class in a little bit. Why? Because it's free. Plus I've tried to do some meditation at home, and I'm not sure I'm getting it right, so I want to go somewhere where someone knows what is supposed to go down. Plus it's free, so why not?
In other news, I'm trying to stay on top of my other work, and for the most part I am, but I'm finding it very difficult sometimes to concentrate. I also find that I get really tired in the early afternoon, and naps have become common. I'm not super excited about the naps, but at the same time, if my body is telling me to sleep, perhaps I should sleep. I don't really have any strong argument against naps; it just seems like time I could be spending doing something productive. Although the argument could be made that I already waste plenty of time while I'm awake, so what's the difference?
I occurred to me the other day that I'm only about 2 months away from filming this monster, and while progress is being made, I feel grossly unprepared. The part of me that has done this before keeps reminding me that most details will come together closer to the last minute than not, and not to worry, but the other part of me that doesn't like questions marks and maybes doesn't like listening to that. So I have to find things to distract me from the fact that certain things can't be done yet. So I read and watch movies. I file that under 'research'.
I'm also moving along with my diet. I'm sitting at the 10th straight day of exercising, as in actually breaking a sweat. Today I actually started to feel stinky afterwards, meaning I sweat a lot. I'm hoping that's good. I read somewhere that you shouldn't weigh yourself more than once a week, and Friday mornings are my day. We'll see what happens then. I'm thinking there won't be much progress, mostly because of the whole building muscle paradox, making me heavier even though I'm getting better. At least that's the story I'm going with. I must say, however, that regardless of weight, my diet has vastly improved over what it was 2 months ago, and consists mostly of fruits and vegetables, with an egg or chicken breast thrown in here and there. Tonight I might also go get some frozen yogurt after the class if I feel up to it. The only thing that really brings me back down is beer. It's like a whole other meal if I even have one, which is a giant bummer. Oh well. I've only been having beers (or any kind of alcohol) about once a week anyway. Which is also less than before.
Anyway, I'm still trying to get out of the funk I found myself in yesterday. I think I see a light in the near future, but we'll just have to wait until I get there to see if I can actually pull myself out.
