You see, I'm blessed with some rather uncomfortable jaw problems, and it causes me a great deal of pain almost constantly. The dentist tells me that I just need to wear my mouth guard when I sleep and everything will be fine. That's baloney. I've been wearing the darned thing every night for 3 years and my jaw has only gotten worse. Especially during times of stress... hello grad school!

But I digress.
I don't get to a computer very often on the weekends, but I didn't lose my desire to keep up with the blog--which is good, since I've only just begun.
Anyway, Friday night I did a REALLY quick workout, which consisted of reading Game of Thrones on my stationary bike for 20 minutes before I got cleaned up to go out. My cousin's wife invited me to dinner at a fancy sushi restaurant, so I didn't end up spending the evening alone the way I had anticipated. The food was so good and the wait was so very long that by the time we were finished, I begged off to go home and sleep instead of dancing. While this was exactly the opposite of what I had planned on doing in terms of dancing myself fit on Friday, at least I was hanging out with CrossFit people and got to hear all kinds of stories!
Saturday and Sunday weren't really all that good in terms of me meeting my personal goals, however. Saturday I laid around most the day and made a token cleaning effort. I didn't find the wherewithal to workout and the evening ended with me getting all cute to go hang with my friends... and them deciding they wanted to stay in for the evening and telling me that I should just 'go have fun'.

Sunday was more of the same, with the exception of me cooking up a bunch of 'veggie burgers' for my potluck at work today. Also, I drank a bottle of cherry wine. I attempted homework at one point too, but sadly, I made the attempt AFTER the wine. Needless to say, my Kenpo workout probably would have been disastrous at that point as well. There we have another excuse.
I guess overall, the theme of the weekend was that I let myself get discouraged and in turn let that feeling ruin the rest of my weekend. I shouldn't have let not seeing my friends ruin my Saturday night, but I did. I shouldn't have let the guilt of not finishing homework or housework or workouts make me feel like I couldn't do anything but sleep and drink on Sunday, but I did. This is the cycle I need to break. With that in mind, I got my sorry butt out of bed this morning and dragged it to the office. I didn't do a pre-work workout *Shudder*, but I got here early and like those old Nutri-Grain commercials, I have to think, "If I start the day off by not letting myself down, I'm already on the right track." If I'd slept in till 7, I'd have probably felt like a failure... first thing in the morning. What's the sense in that?
