Finding my pace--day to day

I'm an all or nothing person. One day, I'm running around like made, accomplishing everything. I feel manic; nothing can get in my way. Then, other days, I'm exhausted and it takes everything to get off the sofa. I see-saw back and forth. I wish I could find a happy medium.
After a crazy run-around Thursday, I was exhausted Friday and came home and basically went to sleep at 7 p.m. Saturday, I felt groggy all day. I laid around. Finally, at 6, I put my ass into gear and eeked out a weight-lifting session and a pretty nice 4-mile run on the treadmill. I got to try out my new racing flats--New Balance 900s. They were very comfortable. I actually kind of really like them. After that, I rushed off to lab and did what I had to do since I had put it off all day (my cells weren't happy). Then, I dolled myself up and went out with some friends to bar with a live band to go dancing. (I was late for my friends too--I felt so bad).
It was awesome! I don't go out much, and it was so great to dress up and have fun. I love dancing--you're socializing and moving around and burning off those drinks all at the same time. I danced for at least 2 hours straight! I'm pretty sore today--I don't know if it's from the running, lifting, dancing, or a combination of the three. I drank 2 margaritas and 2 beers--a lot for me and my little 120 lb body.
I don't normally drink so I was very proud of myself that my hangover was quite manageable this morning. I made myself drink 16 ounces of water before I went to bed and then again when I woke up to pee. Plus, I took 2 Ibuprofen when I went to bed and then another 2 after I woke up late this morning (along with a pre-emptive Pepcid for my tummy). All I had was a headache, and the advil, water, and coffee took care of that! This is coming from a person who used to get terrible bouts of dry-heaving the next day so I am tickled with myself! Yipee! Anyway, it was so much fun last night. And I looked HOT--even if I do say so myself. It was a great confidence booster.
Now I'm at lab, making up for yesterday. I'm being good. I may be missing my swim, but this is more important. I'm proud of myself for putting some weekend time in here; afterall, it is crunch time. I'm still hoping to get out for a bike ride and enjoy the wonderful, sunny, 75 degree weather we're getting. Fall is the one time of the year the weather is nice in St. Louis.
