Been a long time since I’ve done one of these. Insert random excuse here. To my defense, though, it’s been a long time since I’ve consistently posted to my blog…

In the past three months, I’ve had quite a few ups and downs. First, I’ve actually started working with a trainer, so am exercising twice a week, now. I feel better and think straighter on the days I exercise. It’s amazing. My goal this week, though, is to exercise—some cardio—on Wednesday and Saturday. Eventually, I’d like to do some type of exercise every day of the week.

I’m still getting up relatively early, though it varies. Ranges from 6:00 to 7:00. My ultimate problem is still that I’m not going to bed early enough. So, my goal this week is be in bed by 10:00 and asleep by 11:00.

I’d also like to get an alarm clock that will wakes me up with light instead of sound. Take last night. I woke up twice. Once at 2:00 and once at 5:00. Both times I was wide awake. Of course, I went back to sleep. If I get up that early—even if my body is saying, “come on, get up, you lazy bastard!”, I’ll pay for it later. But when the alarm went off at 6:00, I could not get up. My body was saying: “What are you thinking?!” From what I’ve read, a light-based alarm clock will be a smoother transition from sleeping to waking, so I can actually get up when it goes off.
