Ouch!

OMG my arms are so sore! I had forgotten how sore I could be after doing a barbell class. Why is it that the second day after is always the worst? So I just did cardio at the gym today (and not much at that, still working back up from not exercising at all). I know they always say you're supposed to do more of what made you hurt in the first place but I couldn't even lift my back pack without whimpering today haha. So I'll just plan on doing that once a week for now and see how it goes.

Ever since I made the burritos I've been having that for dinner every night because apparently 1 lb of ground beef goes a really long way in burritos! Good thing I dont get sick of leftovers very easily! I'm discovering though that I'm much more attached to desserts than I thought I was. If I try to just eat dinner and not have anything sweet after I dont feel full. It's weird. And I've tried substituting with something healthy (grapes instead of ice cream for example) and it just doesn't feel the same. Guess this is going to have to be an example of mind over matter...we'll see if I can do it...

I have at least three things I should be doing for school and yet I still haven't been able to convince myself to do them. I need ideas here...how do I get my motivation back?! I used to be really good about studying for a set amount and then giving myself a short reward (episode of a TV show etc). But now that kind of bribing isn't working, I just jump straight to the reward :-P

Guess the theme of this post is...how do you gain (or gain back) self discipline?
