24 Days In - Frustration

What is frustration?  Frustration to me is not being able to do what I want.  I have to admit that I've really dropped the ball on this blog.  Whenever I thought I should write in here, I just really wanted to write in my regular poetry blog instead and I'd end up writing in neither.  In some ways, this blog is a temporary thing.  It is really only designed to be written in November.  It would be a little silly writing here more than once come December.  I have some ideas for my next challenge but will probably write about it in my go to poetry blog instead.  That one has more legs and I'm much more comfortable introducing my thoughts with a poem.  At least that's what I think at the moment.  I haven't written in that blog for a while either.

So.  An update on my month so far: It's been pretty easy.  I've been able to go to the gym with my regular frequency.  I do feel a little weaker now at the gym but I think that has more to do with my increased running and decrease in weight lifting that had started back in July.  There are foods I miss.  I miss cheese the most.  It's crazy how pervasive cheese is and how it ties so many flavours together.  One thing I learned from this experience is that I can go with less... and that there are good carrots and there are not so good carrots.

I might be embracing the hipster life a little too much.  Today I started reading By Grand Central Station I Sat Down and Wept by Elizabeth Smart.  Help me!  Peace out.
