I’m tired today.  Had a gig last night and drank unsweetened tea all night.  I got home around 11:30 and sat in bed till 2am before I fell asleep.  After tossing and turning for a bit, I tried counting to 100.  I then told myself that I would open my eyes after 100 and see what time it was.  The last time I saw the time was 1:45am.  I’m assuming that I got about 3 1/2 hours sleep last night.  I woke up at 5:30am and went to ASI to work out.  Dj (my trainer at ASI) took it easy on me this morning.  I guess on days like this, you gotta not over-do it. 

I slept a total of 4 hours a day in college.  Always scheduled myself for early morning classes, so that I could be done with my school stuff before I went to work at the radio station.  Yep, I did radio in college at a station in town (not a college radio station).  I was actually pretty terrible to my self and my health in college.  Wake up at 6am-went to school-went to work-went to the club till 2am-did it again the next day.  I would sleep on Sundays.  I’d eat the most terrible thing imaginable right before going to bed, follow it up with a super-sized soda and then fell asleep.  Now, I cant do that.  Last night I drank tea after 10pm and it left me WIRED till I fell asleep.  Guess I cant handle the “hard stuff” anymore. lol

Another thing I noticed was my uncontrollable urge to stop and get a milkshake or somethin before coming home.  Something about being out late makes me want to eat bad things.  I wasn’t drinking alcohol, but my body craved the foods that It usually does after I’ve been drinking (Taco Bell-Burger and fries-milkshake).  It’s all in your head!  I spent the drive home trying to rationalize stopping to get something.  I didn’t need it.  I wasn’t hungry.  It’s this kind of behavior that haunts anyone who is trying to be healthy or lose weight.  It’s like a smoker who quits, but has to have something to smoke after a great meal or only smokes when drinking.  Its behavioral!  All in your head! 

In college my routine was to do laundry and homework on Sundays after I woke up from my “make up sleep” session.  Now, after being out of college for more than 10 years, I still feel the need to do laundry and homework on Sundays. How funny is that? lol
