Cardio Health

Carrot and apple juice. Tastes great! Oh and I just realized I can create my own salads at this place in Shinsegae. It's great! I got chicken, chick peas, sundried tomatoes, cucumbers and a hard boiled egg on a bed of spinach. AMAZING! I'm gonna pick another one up tomorrow on my way home ^^

I just realized that I'm in much better shape that I was like a month ago. I ran 5km easily today and I didn't feel it in my muscles nor was I even short of breath. I didn't really feel like I'd worked out but it was a strange feeling. I hate running so it was very good to not feel like I was actually working too hard on it. My wrist is acting up a little bit. I don't know what's wrong with it so I don't know how I'm going to be able to train at kickboxing this week. Wish me luck...maybe it's mental. Maybe my stress is acting up in a physical way. Regardless...it still feels disgusting like someone overstretched something in it.
This was my lunch today...I didn't eat the potatoes or the rice. The pumpkin was really good...I gave the one drenched in sauce away :P The grilled chicken was good too. It was spicy so it made me feel full.

Overwhelmed


I went biking for about 3 hours yesterday. I rode across my city along the river. It was a lot of fun. My legs were sore yesterday, but they're ok for now. I've been extremely stressed with my life situation right now. I'm packing up my stuff bit by bit getting ready to move. I have my papers to file on Wednesday. I have a coworker who hates me for no real reason and I have to go to Seoul every weekend (not for fun, but for work). I have new classes with brand new students whose names I really want to remember and a 3 hour advanced English conversation class that I have to do all the prep work for.

I'm not complaining....I just wish that things would go smoothly and that this rough patch will quickly end. I know making lists helps so here goes...

Ridiculous list on things on my mind:

*Pack/Move (Sunday)
*File Papers (Tuesday)
*Seoul (Thursday for a bike ride with Man Yi along Han River)
*Seoul (Friday, Superstar Halla)
*Seoul/Ilsan (Every Sunday this month)
*Man Yi's Going away (Saturday)
*Seoul (9/24, 9/25) Don't need to translate in front of 5000 people, just gotta do the backstage stuff
*Memorize student names and make lesson plans for regular class
*Detox (Mind over matter...when I am finished, I will be stronger than before. Day 11, almost halfway there)
*Coffee (Something that shouldn't be on my mind, but because I'm emotionally in that state...it is)
*Court Date (Got the date...10/15 2:45PM)
*Kickboxing (Every day)
*Peter (an old friend who's hitting his own rough patch)
*Figuring out what I want to do with the rest of my life.
*Five year plan? I don't have one any more. Things never turn out the way I plan anyway.
*Money (I don't have any left...should I teach private lessons?)
*Visa (Will I get to stay till the end of my contract?)
*Make lesson plans for Advanced English Class
*Try not to let life overwhelm me
