A day of rest.

In spite of being awakened earlier than intended, this day was truly wonderful. Being a minor help, then tinkering and relaxing, taking a 2-3 mile walk, preparing and making it to church if my timing is still not quite right, doing a bit of physics study, looking over the University calendar, looking for engineering colleges and universities in or near the Rocky Mountains, and just enjoying a long wakeful restful peaceful day.

I can only guess that working out is already taking a toll. Well, perhaps toll is the wrong word. I am now in a hurry, and as I become more able to exercise and work in other ways, I need to watch myself. Overdoing things can cause a setback or injury. I have a tendency to excess. I also know I need to start eating more often, though the smaller doses part is working well. If I go without food for too long though, I binge or become a nibbler. Nibbling this and that to try and find what my body wants. What it really wants cannot be had, quickly. Fats top the list, then protein, then… everything. The body really does need fuel, denying it that fuel does not change the fact and is not a successful strategy on a regular basis.

Tomorrow I will be attending the Latin Mass practice. I will also be shown how to usher. Simple, I am sure, but I have never done this before. I am a bit worried, as I do not seem to have anything dressier to wear. I usually just wear jeans and a polo to Saturday Mass. I have some better clothes, but I think they are all… awaiting dry cleaning, crumpled up somewhere or other, and generally neglected and misused. I also have my bible and study guide ready for up to a half of a day of study. I may also study more physics, read my statics book, study calculus, or a bit of each. Whatever I do, I mean to do it quietly and with an eye to resting.

I am in a hurry to lose weight. I want inches off, more inches, if nothing else. I feel like a dork and I know I am a chunk. I cannot believe how well exercising has gone and I cannot believe I have not done it before. As well, studying has been rather painless, enjoyable really. I have gained information about study groups and study leaders available for engineering students. I also plan to be to school a good part of my day. I might have to see if I could get on a meal plan, if that is more affordable than not. Just having a lunch every day would be good, dinner several days a week or something. I know I need the food, I know I do not eat enough, and it might be a rather inexpensive option.
