Starting small

I have been really bad about keeping up with this blog. I now have a blogging app on my phone so hopefully I will update a little more frequently. Also, because I will be using my phone and it has a stupid auto completion thing that puts the weirdest words in sometimes, please ignore very random words that seem to have no place and make no sense.

So, on to the update. I have been doing weight watchers for 4 months now and I have lost 28 lbs. Some of my friends are also losing weight and they are losing much bigger numbers so I have been kind of bummed about my 28. I do know that each person is different so I am trying to not let that affect me. Also, this is more about keeping with this for me. 4 months is the longest I have stayed on weight watchers since I have been in Texas and I am trying really hard to make this the last time I have to lose all this weight, no matter how slowly it goes. So I guess I should say I lost 28 lbs! Awesome! I am proud of myself for keeping up with everything when it feels like everything else is falling apart.

I have hit the annual stress-a-thon that is SFN. I am working ridiculously long hours and every day to get everything done in time. I vow now to only present data that is ready to be turned into a poster by May. That should keep me from going through this again. SFN aside though, there is still a lot of pressure for me to finish up my experiments and to get out of here. This also means finding a postdoc. Yikes. I am really not sure how all of this will get accomplished. I am still trying though.

The trying involves me getting up early every day, gasp! I have been getting up between 4:30 and 6 every day for the last week. I am trying to make that my routine now. I want to go work out in the morning and then go in to lab by 7:30 or so. Then I work till 7 or 8, come home, relax a little and repeat. Not a great schedule but it is working so far. Except for today that is. I overslept and did not get up until 8:30. So I guess it is time for me to stop writing and go in to lab.
