Long-term goals.

3.) finish a piece of writing that I publish in a state-wide, or national paper/magazine.
4.) move out before the age of 25.
5.) keep my weight down
and now on to the diet...
okay first and foremost, I need to slowly ween myself off tonic. the sodium in it bloats me and all in all its just not good for me. I'll be replacing it with apple juice, water (mostly water) and tea. I'm not going to snack between meals anymore because thats where alot of my problems lie. I am going to start eating 3 meals a day, because I figure if I eat the way I'm supposed to, I'll be less hungry in between, and I'll have more energy as well. saturdays and sundays are days that I've decide I can eat whatever I want....so long as I work my ass off on mondays at the gym, and walk with mary both nights. No food after 8, unless its fruit. Also, if I must snack during the day, fruit, veggies and nuts are the only acceptable snacks.
Besides eating better, I need to start exercising more. 20 minutes on the gazelle at least once a week. walking with mary as often as possible, and any time it won't make me late, I'm going to walk all 11 flights of stairs to my english class in sawyer. I'm going to start doing crunches daily before bed and in the morning....starting out with ten each time and moving up as I progress. I might set aside one day were I just go crazy with exercise and do jumping jacks and everything too lol. I'm also planning on either joining or gym or making use of suffolks. at least a half hour in there every time I go in.
I know it sounds pretty vague, and doesn't sound very rigorous or even helpful to some people..but i know its helped in the past, and its vague so that I can have some flexibility with it.
this isn't exactly how I wanted to write all this...but its what came out so meh.
