I need a new blog layout, but can't seem to make it work. Blogger experts with free time, wanna help?
So caffeine is my enemy and my friend. While it enables productivity, it throws off my sleep schedule, leaves me with headaches, and causes me to lose a point in our wellness program at work. As you see, the "cons" outweigh the "pros". And yet.... this evening's entry is brought to you by Mountain Dew.
That's write, it's nearly two in the morning. I just finished signing Christmas cards for the kids in our class at church. Before that, I wrapped the last of my gifts (well, minus a pending item that should be arriving in the mail soonly, and Soph's stocking stuffers because we don't know where our stockings are). I also went shopping this evening for baking supplies for Thursday night's treat extravaganza that shall result in goodies for my coworkers.
i have been eating so much sugar lately, all in the name of the holidays. January is the traditional time to get back on track, and I seriously wish I had a personal trainer and nutritionist, haha. I have come to the realization that there are four things keeping me from healthier habits. They are as follows:
1. I love sugar. Love it. Possibly addicted. I am not proud of my sweet tooth, but I do believe genetics and the encouragement of dessert-love throughout childhood have doomed me for life.
2. I have horrible coping methods, including emotional eating. Somehow, my inner self has equated a cookie with love.
3. I am a terrible cook. Seriously, terrible. Legendarily so, and you can ask family and close friends for examples of my kitchen disasters. They can provide many. As a result, my self-prepared food tends to be simple, or of the preservative-filled frozen or canned variety. In extreme situations when I find the motivation to try cooking one more time, it typically results in a non-edible mess. This leads to a demonstration of #2 (emotional eating out of frustration) as well as #1 (seeking the affirmation of the cookie).
4. My life is a whirlwind. And even simple food preparation is time-consuming. However, most quick food is also unhealthy. Hence why I end up with pop-tarts for breakfast even though I don't really like them. Grab-and-go wins out over taste and nutrition, and that annoys me.
Why the hell am I blogging at two am??? I have to figure out how to upload and edit from a dvd and go over light cues and blocking.... and be up and running in four hours for a very very long day of work and church Christmas busyness.
Next year, can I take a sabbatical to celebrate the birth of our Lord?
