That’s how my underwear was put on Thursday morning….. I’ve been a little sleepy in the mornings since I started working out in the afternoons. I just started Tuesday and decided to hit it full force. And unlike last time, this time I’m uber-organized for working out and for school. Last time around I found myself forgetting things and that would be my excuse for not working out that night.

Part of my organization is buying these bins for the trunk of my car from the new Target in town.

They were only 15 a piece and make excellent clothing & towel holders, so they get to hold my workout clothes and my after workout clothes. Along with the clothing holders I also use my small cooler to keep my bottled waters cooled and ready to use. Another item on my list of things I needed is a smaller mp3 player to make me a bit more mobile at the gym. While I love my Creative Zen:M, it’s just not light enough to strap on my arm. So, to continue my jewish like tendencies when it comes to money and to satisfy my love of technology I got me the Creative Zen Stone. Same principle of the iPod Shuffle but half the price. And going along with the other Creative players it can connect to any computer and have songs transferred on and off the unit w/o installing software.

Now I just have to pick my workout songs. I’ve already figured out that I like Rock and Rock-like techno and Death Metal as my workout music. Yeah I know, calm, collected little me loves the Death Metal. Recently I found this CD by a band called Justice via one of my many podcasts I listen to and after some searching on the hype machine I found this track that is a remixed version of one of the Justice tracks called “Stress” done by a Tokyo DJ.

So far I’m down 7 lbs from my start of my “diet”. I’m moving to have my scale say 15 or less % body fat and I’d be happy at 170 lbs. I’m keeping track of my weight publicly on my skinnyr log. As you can see last semester stress eating and just overall bad eating caused an increase in my weight. I’m trying to figure out how to carry extra food around since I don’t get out of class till 10pm I can’t wait to eat and fast food no matter what form is still bad.

Get your own graph at skinnyr If anyone has ideas on what is good and cheap to store in the car in a cooler (till the summer months are over) let me know because this heat completely melts my freezer blocks every time & I have like 8 of them. Maybe my cooler just sucks (it’s soft side)?Anyhoot…I’m gonna leave you with some hard hitting M.I.A. that I love and could care less what others say…
