I forgot something of vital importance yesterday; people can only affect you as much as you let them. I let that mans words ruin my whole day. He didn’t deserve that much of my time. He made an assumption about my lifestyle and personality based on 2 minutes of being in a room with me. He stereotyped me in the worst way, and I let that throw me off track.
I woke up this morning feeling a little sorry for myself, and a little crappy. It took a few minutes of time with my little man for it to happen but now I have my stuff together again. This is about getting healthier to be able to be there for my son longer. I wanna teach my kid how to play the sports that I used to play, not just watch some guy I don’t know doing it at practice. This is not about the opinions of people that I don’t know, or most of those I do if I am being honest. The two people that have opinions that matter just so happen to love me the way I am. Talk about your high octane work out fuel. I hit, and surpassed the 10 minute mark on the evil elliptical. I actually made it 13 minutes today. That is a 5 minute improvement on my last effort. I am a hot, sweaty mess right now… but I am happier than I have been in days; just imagine how awesome I will feel after I take a shower.
I also scored all of the zumba dvd’s; no more having to borrow from other people. I am a super happy lady right now.
On to other news…
I am still pluggin along on Bossypants. It is taking me (much) longer than normal, mostly because I have to put it down every five minutes because my sides hurt from laughing so hard.
I have to meet with some of the faculty in charge of my program next week to see who is going to be on my thesis committee and who is going to be my thesis advisor. I am pretty sure on who my advisor is going to be (there is only one professor that has a concentration anywhere near mine..) but the committee has me worried. A couple of the professors in my department are rather dry. They are also the ones that happen to grade the hardest, and I haven’t seen their names on any of the committees to come before mine. It is like they are saving themselves to rip my thesis apart. (No, I am not at all melodramatic.) I already have my thesis set up, and am ready to get going; the meeting is kind of one formality wrapped in another, not sure why I am nervous about it.
I got my husband to agree to try some different protein options for dinner this month (I do most of my grocery shopping at one time); and by get him to agree, I mean I said ‘so baby, I was thinking I would try to cook some salmon, maybe some tuna steaks and stuff like that’ and he said ‘yeah ok, that sounds good. Whatever you want.’ He is way too easy. (I must admit, I probably have the greatest man in the world [for me that is])
Hope everyone out there in the blog day is having a good day. Until next time
