Month: June 2009

  • Goals

    So there’s nothing like writing down some goals to hold you accountable to actually accomplishing it.  I know it’s a bit late for New Year’s resolutions but oh well.
     
    * Working out at least 3x a week – I know I’ve been talking about this for forever but time to actually follow through.  I even have a schedule.  Monday – Turbo Kickboxing, Tuesday – Yoga, Wednesday – Cycling, Thursday – Pilates.  I figure taking the classes will keep me more motivated.  I might even try waking up early and going to the gym before work.  Summer is coming around and I’m determined to get my figure back so I can look good in a bikini.
    * Save more money – I’ve put together a budget at Mint.com.  That way I can track all my accounts and expense…pretty nifty.  I’m saving for a couple of things…tuition for Fall, vacation in Sept, and new car in 2010.  Having a picture in mind of what I’m saving for makes it easier to stick to my budget.
    * Spend more time with family – try and call at least once a week just to talk.  Try and visit at least two times a month
    * Read more – I need to keep myself more well rounded by keeping up on current events and other various interesting topics.  Set aside 30 minutes a day to read something that is not textbook related.
    * Keeping up a to do list – I need to get more efficient and be more productive.  There are a lot of little things around the new place that I need to do but I just keep procrastinating on.
    * Eat more healthy – I’m going to need to cook more and no more overeating.  I’m too much of a foodie to resist good food so I’ll just have to moderate my portion size.  Try and stick to a lower carb diet and eat more fruits and vegetables.  Instead of red meat, try and substitute with chicken and seafood as much as possible.  Along with this I need to drink more water too…at least 8 glasses a day.
