I'm a ruiner

I have this weird habit of overdoing things. I find something I like and do it over and over and over again. Let me put this into perspective, you know how radio stations play the same songs over and over and then people get all "ugh that is sooo overplayed." I always agree outwardly while inwardly I'm super excited.

I do this on my own too. One of my guilty pleasures is downloading a new song, and playing it on repeat for an entire run (yup 30-40 min of one song, and lets be honest its usually something retarded like Tic Tok or Party in the USA). Then the next day, embarrassed by the fact that I've done this, I make a "playlist", with the current download at least twice. Eventually I find a new song I love and start the cycle again. Only to rediscover the old song a few months later in an "embarrassment playlist" until finally it reaches the point where I skip it on my ipod. AKA after a long, long time of over doing, I ruin it.

And it's not just music, I do it with running routes, socks and underwear (I dont wear them everyday but I get new "favs" that I wear to make me happy and decide what laundry I am doing for the week based on which load I can throw them into) and even food.

One of my favorite diet plans was when I ate the same thing everyday. That's right the SAME, EXACT THING day in and day out. And I know all of you are thinking omg that's so boring/weird/gross, and I used to lie and be like its not easy but I'm dropping pounds, but in reality, I got so excited for every meal, each day. I'd count down the minutes for my soup, apple or half a cup of brown rice, 3 oz of chicken and steamed veggie. It was absurd. After about 4 months of this I swore off brown rice for 6 months and had it for the first time last night. It's still delicious.

For running I find one little street that i LOVE and incorporate it into all of my runs for a month or so until I'm like omg I CANNOT go there anymore and banish it from running routes for a while. The problem is sometimes I get sick of key parts of a run, like the area to my house of from my house and I have to play on mapmyrun for hours before I can finally suck it up and go down one of these streets.

And that's what I'm on my way to doing now. For the past few weeks I've been obsessed with 3 songs and have run the same route. I even forced the photog to go on a walk with me last weekend so I could show him my newly discovered run. He agreed that it was fab but didn't seem to share my enthusiasm.

So with that, I'm off to ruin more things in my life. Hmm is it crazy to eat the same thing for lunch and dinner?
