By next semester, I need to have decided what research group I want to work with. This will mean I will be on campus 5 days per week which means I will get an apartment down there. Once I'm down there full time, things will be much easier to handle. I will have lots more time (4 hours a day taken out of driving!). Of course, I will miss Rob tons and only see him on the weekends but its something that needs to be done.
But for now, this whole commuting thing is killing me! I wish there was a way I could just do the full time school thing and nothing else! But until then...
Oh, and I got homework in both my classes yesterday. I spent all of last night
Anyway, here is my health update for the day:
This week, I've...
Not been drinking my water. 
Not worked out since Saturday. 
Been eating lots of veggies (yay!). 
But also lots of ice cream and treats. 
Been making it a priority to get enough sleep. Today, I will...
Not pig out on the ice cream I have at home (how did that get there??) 
Make an effort to drink my water when I'm on campus 
Try to get in some simple workout (walking on campus or maybe pushups and stuff when I get home) Tomorrow, I will...
Not snooze my alarm clock for an hour. 
Avoid the sweets. 
Do some sort of workout, even if its just playing on the Kinect! Be stuck at work all day with endless access to a water fountain and a bathroom (aka drink all my water!!!).Now, its time to get back on track!!! I even tracked my food today just to be accountable. Here we go!!!

>hugs< once you get a schedule going stick to it. When I was writing my thesis, I was teaching 8am-10am. It turned out to be the best thing because it forced me to my office early and I worked til 5pm. I also found out I have to work out in the morning so I was up at 5am to get my workout in. I was on the schedule for 6wks. The first day I let me self sleep past 5am was the end of the schedule. My body refused to go back. So push yourself to find a schedule that gets everything in and to do with no excuses! You can totally do it!
Oh sister, I hear you. I ran myself absolutely ragged last year trying to keep up with school + work + teaching. At times like these, you just have to choose your biggest priorities [SLEEP is definitely up there for me too because I won't be able to do ANYTHING without it], and try not to beat yourself up for not being superhuman.
"This too shall pass."
Enjoy what you can during this time and stay honest with yourself.
Also, I didn't know that you + Rob will have to be apart for awhile. Enjoy having healthy everyday meals with him while you've got 'em!
LOVE to you!! You got this!!!
You will manage to get the workouts in... You are still just getting organized. Once you have established a routine it will all be fine. No worries!
you can do it! I have faith in you!
(driving two hours BLAH)
