Procrastination?!
I'd originally asked to go on vacation this week (01/04/09-01/10/09), but was turned down. As a result, I had no idea when I was going to get to go, but I knew it had to be soon-ish, since I'd requested my first vacation officially in either January or February. Then, yesterday I talked about putting off getting into my new habits of eating right and exercising properly (even if it's just walking at first).
Talk about being called out.
I got to work yesterday, and what'd I see? I work 6a-11a tomorrow to do payroll (and I'll be leaving at 10am, you can bank on that!), and then I'm off the rest of the week. Yup. "Vacation" came a LOT faster than I suspected. :) All in all, though, this is a surprise that I can live with.
Now, I am cleaning my room more thoroughly than I have in a few weeks (while I've not let it get nasty, it's not been in tip-top shape, which is what I'm rectifying), getting my laundry done and put away, and planning on going to the grocery store later, so I'll have proper food in the house for next week.
Anyone have any ideas on how to reintroduce someone to vegetables? I'm good about the canned kind (green beans, carrots, corn), but 1) I don't like spending a lot of time cooking or dirtying dishes, especially on work nights and 2) I'm not sure how to prep vegetables in an appealing way (I usually just heat and add 'em on the side of whatever meat I'm eating). I know my biggest hurdle is to get into the habit of eating more vegetables, as they'll fill me up and are almost universally good enough for me that I could gorge on 'em and not suffer ill consequences.Something interesting I learned the other night is that Low Sodium V-8 juice (original, not the fruit juices) has twice the potassium as the regular, in addition to half the sodium. Oh, and it tastes about the same. Talk about win-win. :)
I have finished sortingmy currently clean clothes away. Now, to start a load of laundry, take a shower, and change my bed clothes, though not necessarily in that order.
