Promoting A New Blog

So I have been working hard on this Friday evening, promoting my new blog Discoveries to Blow Your Mind by submitting it to directories like blogowogo and LazyBlogDirectory.com. I also learned how to discover my RSS feed and atom 1.0 for blogspot/blogger, which I didn't know how to do before.

In short, I have been productive.

My dad read the new blog and gave me rave reviews, but then again, he's a conservative, so if scientific research comes out that supports him (see: New Bigotry: Why Some Scientists are Worried that the Liberal Elite Really are Running America), he'll basically have a party.

Today, I went to work from 7 am to 11am, then I went to class until 4 pm. I ate well throughout the day: I had cereal before leaving for work, then a turkey sandwich with salt and pepper that I made last night, and then an orange for a snack (better work in the Vitamin C, you know!). Dinner was a bit of a flop, though: I had a chocolate chip muffin, 2 rolls, a rib-eye steak, a salad, milk, and a little bit of left over roast beef (okay, that last thing was kind of a 'snack' before dinner because I was starvvinnnggg).

To be honest, I think I was kind of planning on overeating tonight, all day. I knew the boyfriend was going to be out of town visiting his family, and maybe it was just a sort of "Whatever. I'll catch up over the weekend," sort of an attitude. Not sensible at all.

I went running a little while after eating, and then felt slightly better. It kind of reminded me that I want to take care of my body instead of destroying it with an eating disorder.

Tomorrow, busy day:

      - Switch banks (Goodbye, Bank of America, hello, Chase! I'm tired of the fees)
      - Clean room
      - Write another blog entry for www.cleopatronize.blogspot.com
      - Work more on advertising (set up a twitter account, link to youtube, etc.)
    

Valentine's Day Approacheth, Faithful Brethren

   Wazzzzzzup?

    You know, I always say that and I can't remember where it's from. Is it The Office? Or a different comedy? I don't know.

I didn't write yesterday because I was completely exhausted after all my meetings, plus the boyfriend and I were celebrating that one of those meetings went very well and it looks like I'll be working with a well-known and large ($4 billion dollar) company, if all works out. Unfortunately, I spent a large part of the day in traffic, so my back is killing me today.

Anyways, as I was saying, we celebrated last night. My idea of celebrating something is ordering take-out Indian food from Shalimar Cuisine of India to eat while watching a movie. The movie next on AFI's top 100 just happened to be Schindler's List , so in an ironic turn of events, I ended up celebrating my career advancement by watching a heartbreaking but brilliant film about the Holocaust. 


Eating wasn't super great or super terrible yesterday, but I have been having a few more binge urges. The boy-toy actually saved me this evening - I nearly gave in, but as I was heading into the kitchen to grab the chocolate chip muffins purchased for his enjoyment, he asked "Is that on your meal plan?" It isn't, so I sat back down.


Normally, I would tell families not to police their loved ones who have eating disorders, but my boyfriend knows I want him to, and that it keeps me accountable. We have a pretty good communication thing going, so I'm chill with it.


Today, I had cereal for breakfast at work. I worked later than I expected (sooo many excel spreadsheets) and I hadn't brought my lunch with me, so I had a Gogurt and Fiber One bar as a snack, then ate a very late lunch of left-over Lamb Vindaloo and (also left over) roast beef. For dinner, we had grilled turkey paninis with pesto and 6 Italian cheeses.


So, overall, this is a good month: I'm more than half of the way through my menstrual cycle, and this is usually around the time where I begin cramming food into my mouth like a crazy mofo, so this is really an improvement. I also made my lunch to take to work with me tomorrow, so it's good.

I also wrote (what I think) is a really good blog update today about liberal bias in academia. My dad loved it, at least. :)
