January 11 - January 17
Second full week of 2015 is done and gone. And, like the first week, I was doing really well at my goals for the first half and then crapped out during the second half. I was productive at work for most of the week, with the exception of Friday, but I even got a little bit done on Friday.
I worked out Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday, and then didn't the rest of the week. I pulled out of a meet up with some people Thursday night because I just didn't feel like going out. I'm still working on trying to be more social. I did go hiking with people on Saturday, so I'm trying not to beat myself up so much about it.
I did horribly with food last week. Again, I started out well, but Thursday-Sunday I had fast food three times, ugh. And ice cream twice. I babysat for my brother Friday night and read a couple chapters of my current book after Tyler went to bed, but that was all the reading I got done over the weekend.
No writing done at all since Tuesday, and it was all short stuff. I'm not feeling motivated about any of my novels. This month I was supposed to work on finishing the final edit of Prophecy's Children but I've only done maybe three chapters. I'm more excited about my untitled novel from last NaNo (the one I was posting online for a short time) and that's been the one I've worked most on, but that hardly counts since it's a first draft and I don't really know where it's going besides. I tried doing a little more editing on The Prime, but the more I look at that story the more I hate it. Everything I change makes it worse. I feel like I'm just a monkey slapping the keyboard and producing gibberish. I don't think I can get any better at writing and it's going to be monkey gibberish forever. Maybe I should just stop, I don't know.
I am (just barely) keeping up with my online course. It's called Learning How to Learn. I can't even do that right. I'm hopeless.
Also behind on TV, because of course. I think I've given up Sleepy Hollow. I just don't care anymore. Was there a new one last Monday? It wasn't in my Hulu queue, but my roommates might have watched it from my account before I got to it. And really, I don't care enough to check.
I did start keeping a meal plan spreadsheet, where I keep track of what I'm eating and plan ahead on what I'm going to have for dinner during the week. If I deviate and eat crap, the line in the spreadsheet gets marked red. There are three red lines out of seven right now. I need to do better!
