Lately, I've been living in the gym. That's what I've been doing. This is the extent of what I do now. Work out every single day and try not to eat too much garbage. Two or three miles on the treadmill at a high incline and good protein to fiber to fat to carb ratios in my meals.
I've been ridiculously loyal to this. Six out of seven days this week with at least the cardio. Three with cardio and weights. Egg beaters and soy sausage for breakfast every day. Quaker Weight Control Oatmeal (It's sweetened with Splenda, with added fiber and protein) or FiberONE cereal for a snack.
This month is Hell Month. Trying to shock my metabolism into full gear. This is all because I'm usually locked inside this apartment writing all day long and I really need to start moving again. Of course, I haven't been writing. Not even here. My mind is boggled. I've lost my multitasking abilities and it sucks. Yeah, it's great that the one thing I'm really dedicated to at the moment is my body, but what about my vast body of unfinished work? Har-dee-har.
My book is this constantly evolving, constantly almost finished thing but I can't fret about it because it gets better with age. Specifically, it gets better when my age continues going up as it stays unfinished.
I did at least manage to get a Ribcage story up this past Wednesday. Lately, Ribcage feels a litle first drafty and that's probably due to writing them at the very last hour like I swore I would never do again. I am hoping to put a full rewrite on all of the newer material before I put out the second book. Things feel like they need to be expanded. They feel rushed. Because they were.
Then there are other things I want to be working on--second priorities--but I can't or won't get into them because first things first I have to rededicate myself to my book.
But even firster, I'll dedicate myself to multitasking.
Elise is playing the guitar. Two chords anyway. Yeah, that's happening now. She's catching on fast. I think anyway. She got an acoustic guitar for $89, but it gets the job done. The two chords sound really nice.
And she's painting some new stuff.
She's multitasking.
