Procrastination in many forms...

It's study week for exams, so naturally there is loads of procrastination through the form of delicious foodstuffs, exercise, and... there is always so much stuff to tidy up! (Don't forget the blog I am writing right now...)
I don't know what it is with me this semester, I think I've kinda broken or something... but I just don't have the motivation I had last semester. 
The uni has shortened all the semesters, so instead of two weeks off, we have one. Instead of a long mid-year break, it's only 4 weeks. So basically the entire year of teaching is squished between March and October, and then we get an insane four months off. Don't get me wrong - I'm seriously looking forward to those four months!! But it means I've been super stressed for the other eight, with little break in between, and I'm sooo over it. Anyway...

One of those weird apple-apricot-oat muffin-brownie things, covered in yoghurt mixed with peanut flour. It kinda made an icing!

Baby poo pudding. Well, it actually looked more baby poo coloured in real life... this was avocado, banana, spinach, cocoa powder, protein powder... and probably other stuff, I've forgotten now. It tasted better than it looks!

I finally jumped on the bandwagon and had a sweet potato with almond spread & greek yoghurt. Now I see. I understand!

Finished my Justin's Hazelnut Butter and of course had oats in a jar... bittersweet moment.

Peanut flour mixed with the last of my greek yoghurt.

As much as I dearly love blogs that are full of foodie pictures and exercise stuff, and as much as I want to include that in mine, I don't want it to be all about that stuff. I've never been part of "mainstream" or "popular". I've always been on the outskirts. So I guess I kind of want my blog to reflect that. 

I'm not a goth or emo or anything like that, I guess it's more that my social anxiety has led me to become more isolated than I would like to be, and while people seem to like me, that's as far as it usually gets. OK, gone off on a tangent there!!

I would like to actually write more often though. Probably after exams. I have three - Chemistry, Anatomy & one that is pretty much social / environmental / biological etc determinants of health, but has a much longer name.

All right I'm going to have to stop writing now and actually start studying.

Oh.. PS. Thanks for all the great comments on my last post :D

Wet track pants.

Today's workout went more or less as planned, it was pretty slow though. It was raining pretty heavy and really windy most of the morning, but I was dying to get out there for a run so I went anyway.
I'm gonna go ahead and blame the fact I wore track pants on my speed - it rained very heavily in the first two minutes of my run - and they became like lead weights!!
No, really, I dunno what was up but I wasn't feeling very speedy at all. Then I went home and looked at my pace on the app, and it was what I normally run at, so I don't know what happened there.
I went for a 5km walk later on, and this arvo completed 88 pushups as part of the 100 pushups plan. They seemed easier tonight, yay :)
Feeling good too, it's 9pm and I'm actually not ready for bed already, what a shock.
Pretty productive day in general, I also did 3.5 hours study and attended uni for 4 hours worth of classes.
