Bad Habits

I know I have them. I need to get rid of a few. But I'm not a very disciplined person.

Eating most of my calories after 7pm is one that HAS to go. I am out all day and most days I don't eat. So when I get home, I chow down. That has got to stop. I've cut down the fast food tremendously. That's what I used to eat when I am at school all day. Drive down tot he BK or McD's and grab something before the next class. But I stopped doing that. All that fatty goodness isn't good for my health.

I also have a bad habit of stocking up on BOGO chips, like Fritos, Doritos, or Potato Chips when Aunt Flo visits. I can't resist the BOGO, but the choices aren't the best. I have increased my fruit intake, although my veggie intake needs serious work. THings like carrots are easy to because I can take them with me and I actually like them. Broccoli and peppers I simply can't eat anymore. I love them but they don't like me.

I have given up smoking, but the urge is there. Like today. Im not sure why. I didn't get any, but that urge to take a drag is sometimes strong. I'm out of shape as it is and I don't want to add black lungs and a bad heart to it. I'm hoping I don't have them now.

I do workout but it's only barely twice a week. Lack of time is no excuse. LIke today, I wasted pretty much of it in front of the idiot box. THAT is a serious bad habit. I'm ok if I don't turn it on. Once it comes on, I'm glued.

And OMG do they HAVE to advertise KFC at 9:30 at NIGHT?!?!

Anyway, I did make it to the beach for my interval jog. Boy was it windy. I do an hour or a little over. But I need to pound the sand more than twice a week. I've got to make myself. I don't want to turn 40 and get fatter or worse get more unhealthy. The yoga really has made me aware of how UNflexible I am. Bad. Bad, bad, bad.

I never really did drugs, just a small time frame where pot was more than just for planting. But nothing harder. I don't gamble. I don't drink much at all.

There was a time where I did do those things. That was a very fun but very hard year. Hanging out at bars and clubs til all hours. Sleeping half the day away. But my body felt it. I occasionally get the urge to do that again. Why I have been thinking about it lately I'm not sure, but it has been on my mind.

I have to reduce my tv time. THAT is a habit I need to break or at least cut down on. But it's oh so fun........although I'm missing out on other stuff. Although, at the moment, TV is free. I don't have to spend money on gas, food, or drinks. I can eat and drink here.


I also need to reduce my bad language. It's to the point where I can't refrain from it in almost every conversation, and even in front of children. I swear like a sailor.

I also interrupt people when they are talking. I seem to think that I will forget what I want to say and just interrupt. That is becoming annoying.

I procrastinate. Terribly. That is another issue up there I think with the TV. Maybe this should be first. But, wrong as many people believe, I seem to function and get better grades when I procrastinate. Like this week I have a test. Last time I waited til test day to study. HORRIBLE. I needed to study today but of course I was busy watching TV!

Well CSI Miami will be on shortly, gotta go watch it!!
