I have a plan to be “thin” again… Or at least to become healthier. I worked out the other night, and while I was definitely out of shape, I felt really good about myself. Therfore, I want to shed some unnecessary pounds.
So I have decided to do a sort of “cleanse” of my body and mind… Actually not really. I just want to start eating better, maybe get back to not being obese and just being happier overall. I think the proper term for what I want to do is: Start Anew. That sounds sound.
So I have some basic ideas for my new life. I feel like I have a pretty good plate load that I would like to finish before the New Year. So I believe I have 96 days, starting tomorrow, to accomplish my plethora of goals. However, some of them are going to be a little harder than others to accomplish, so I may have to build to accomplish thems. In regards to this, I have come up with a goal-accomplishing format, it will look like this:
Goal:

Extra Info: (this category title changes)
Now what are all of these life-altering changes going to be?! Let me dish. Side note, all completion dates are that of the New Year, just in case you missed out.
1. Goal: No caffeine.
Explanation: It would be an understatement to say I am addicted to caffeine; basically, I breathe it. So I need to give it up. I have attempted before, go terrible headaches and only last about a month.
Accomplish by: I will only allow myself to drink 3 sodas this coming week. Then 2 the following week and the 1 soda per week for the last 2 weeks.
Time Frame: 9/26-10/2 = 3
10/3-10/9 = 2
10/10-10/16 = 1
10/17-10/23 = 1
2. Goal: Become more positive.
Explanation: I am a realist, so most people say I’m pessimistic and usually I tell them to go do something that isn’t very nice and ends with the word off. So I, myself, have decided to be more positive inward (as well as outward). When it comes to others I am already positive, just with myself, I don’t see things too happily.
Accomplish by: Therefore, I am happiest when helping others or making them happy, so I am going to do a good deed or say a positive comment (and mean it) once a day every day. This does not mean I will not be sarcastic, possible just less occasionally.
How will I track: I will update (in my new section) of how I am accomplishing my goals; I will write what I did for the day that was helpful or nice or whatever. It may also be something that I do which is positive for myself.
3. Goal: Keep organized.
Explanation: I am not the most textbook definition of organized; however, I do have my own way of organizing.
Accomplish by: Keeping my room tidy, which includes: putting clothes away instead of throwing on floor, keeping desk in check and don’t throw school papers all over my room.
Extra Info: I just have to do it.
4. Goal: Exercise 3 times a week.
Explanation: I feel 3 is a good round number given most of my free time is used doing homework or being at work. This could include doing a workout video, or biking, running, jogging, swimming; but whatever I do, I must actually do it to exercise, not leisure. I am technically obese given my weight and heigt; and obviously other than hurting my social life, that is unhealthy.
Accomplish by: Keeping track just like I will with my soda intake and compliment tracking; here for the world to see.
Possible time: Mondays & Wednesdays before school; Monday after school. Tuesday and Thursday nights when I don’t work, possible Friday’s when I do not work.
5. Goal: Re-write my notes.
Explanation: I have found I learn better when I re-write my notes.
Accomplish by: Taking my notes, in class, on loose leaf paper and re-writing them in a specified notebook for my classes: math and stats.
Hardship: I hate making time to do this. It is tedious and beyond annoying, but I must accomplish it.
6. Goal: Pass my MAT 142 class with a B or better.
Explanation: I am already struggling in this class and I do not want to have to waste more money and time on another useless math class.
Accomplish by: Re-writing notes, take out time to specifically study and actually pay attention to the homework I am doing and go over my mistakes.
Difficulty level: HIGH. I have gradually gotten better at math since I have graduated high school, however I have had to drop a math course and re-take it; I do not want to have to do that with this math class. However, I am realizing this class is already straining my math capabilities (and logic, not an entirely math-based class) so much so that I feel it will be terrible hard to even pass with a B. I would like to pass with a C but I’m hoping if I aim high I’ll end high. A C would be a hard-hit to my GPA. :(
There may be more goals to come but as of right now these are the major ones I would like to accomplish. I will create a new category that will be a place I can keep track of my progress through the next 96 days. More will come in how I want to start my new and improved existence, rather than my auto-pilot existence.
