PLATYO Day 22

So it's been a crappy weekend as far as the diet goes. I haven't even really tried to follow it. I've had ice cream and snacks and I've been out to eat. I've even had two cokes and sweet tea. During the week I did better. I worked out sporadically. I only had water. All in all, I've been doing terrible.

I thought I would be doing better, but it's been really hard to get back into the habit of working out. I remember freshman year of college I worked out 6 days a week, ate healthy, and dropped a lot of weight. I want to get back to that. I want to get back to feeling like I have a lot of energy. I think when school starts back up it will help too because I'll have order. I'll have a schedule. It might be weird for someone in school to say this, but I really wish school would start back up.I need order. I need a schedule. If I have things to do I'll make sure they get done. I like being busy. I do well. And honestly, I think everyone does. I think everyone needs to stay busy.

For example, my great-grandfather was a smart man. But then the day came when his doctor told him he couldn't work any more. So he started staying at home. Then he developed Alzheimer's. After his death, my great-grandmother started to have the same symptoms. I think they really needed something to do and to keep their minds occupied. When one of my uncles found out that he was HIV positive his health started to drop dramatically. Then my other uncle whom he was living with had a heart attack. When my uncle realized that he was needed to help out around the house he started doing better. I think it was because he had something to do. It all makes a difference.

So the plan right now is to go running before I have class. I would start tomorrow but Friday I got bit by an ant and I'm having an allergic reaction. I got bit right under my small toe and now my whole foot is swollen and red. I've been taking Benadryl and nothing's helping. Tomorrow I'm going to go to the student health center and get it checked out. Hopefully they'll give me something to make all the swelling go down. It kinda hurts too, but I think that's just because my skin isn't used to being stretched like that. Oh well, these things happen right?

But for now I'm going to get ready for school tomorrow morning. First day of class, woo!
