Formal chapter tonight. This should be fun.

I'm trying to get back into a regular swimming schedule. Unfortunately, my time during the day is split up into impossible chunks, and I can't stick pool time in there unless I want to waste valuable space on all the commuting overhead. Commuting overhead for swimming is obnoxious. It's too cold to walk to/from the pool in my swim clothes or flip flops, which means I have to change at the pool (and wear shoes on my wet feet, ick). On top of that, I don't really want to carry my swim clothes at school throughout the day, and after I swim I have to deal with the clothes immediately or they'll get moldy/make everything smell like bromine. Which means if I want to go between classes, I have to walk home, walk to the pool, swim n' junk, walk home, and then walk back to class. And I COULD do that, but I'd rather use my meager three hour break for eating, praying, studying, visiting friends, etc.

The other option is to go at night, after I've settled down - well, the pool closes at eight. And I have evening activities literally every day of the week. So that's out.

My last option: morning swimming. My weakness! But I must, or else I'll never be fit again. So now I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to pull off getting up an hour earlier than normal (I already wake up earlier than I need to) and not break my fragile sleep cycle. I can probably avoid stupid-late nights a little better, but not all of those are my fault.

Zanzipal, tell me what you come up with for your nuts schedule. I'm thinking of starting with twice a week (because I am sadly and disappointingly out of shape) and working up to 3, and then maybe one more on Saturdays.

On an unrelated note, Red's album Release the Panic is pretty boss. I enjoy getting back into some harder rock and metal.

(HA! See what I did there?)

Now to make sure I'm all dressed up and stuff.

Well, I had to give up 9gag. That was a big step. ;) Not taking my computer home at night helps, but it gets me behind on all my emails. I'm thinking about waking up an hour or an hour and a half earlier throughout Lent, but it's difficult because it doesn't really get light here until 9 am, and I'd rather not go for a run in the dark. Waking up is the hardest part of my day. :(But yeah, I'm facing similar difficulties. I do find that the more packed my schedule is, the faster I get my work done, though.

I agree with you about the swimming. Fun, but so much overhead!

Figuring out a schedule in order to allocate enough time to working out is blaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. i mean on one hand you have motivation to want to be ins hape, but on the other hand you have the motivation of wanting to be lazy...


i have it on my schedule everyday. i end up running/lifting/gasping for air four-five times out of the week so im pretty happy thus far with my ability to keep to it.. but man, some days i just want to stay home, play videogames, and eat fatboy food
