For the first time in a long while, I just finished my 3 day workout routine. I won't lie: I am hurting everywhere. But this is good. I've suddenly found myself interested in "getting back in shape". That is, back to where I used to be. I really don't want to be as obsessed as I was, but I do want to live healthy and enjoy the rewards that come from doing so.

Lately it seems I've been suffering a lot physically. I swear I have heart palpatations, I get really bad anxiety attacks, my body hurts in odd places sometimes, you name it. Maybe the age is finally kicking in.

I bought my microbiology book today which put me out $170. And that was just the lecture book. The lab manual is $60 which I'll have to hold off until next paycheck. I've been doing really good with the whole "maintaining a budget" thing. The only thing I've really splurged on myself with is buying my new pair of Nike's ($27), a Starbucks coffee ($2), a Jamba Juice ($4), and 4 Mrs. Fields' cookies ($3). That's $36 that I've actually gotten to spend on myself from my hard-earned money. The rest? Bills... and slowly climbing out of debt. The funny thing is, when you don't have money to spend, you see all the things you really like and would like to buy. When you do have money to spend, you don't really "see anything you like".

And school starts in a couple of weeks...
Off to the races we go!
