When
I first announced to myself that I wanted to start the amazing quest, something
occurred in me. A strange surge of
happiness is the best way to put it. I think it has something to do with the
fact that I am actively trying to make myself a better person. And when you put yourself out there and announce
to the world that you want to be a better person, a funny thing happens- you
start to feel like a better person
.
So
becoming “amazing” is a never ending
battle, but I guess the first step is the hardest to take. For those who are wondering, here is an
update on how I am doing on the resolutions that I started yesterday:
I did make it to the gym yesterday
and spent 20 minutes dying on a stair master machine. It is going to be a bit of time before I can
make it the full thirty minutes, but I am getting there. Today (meaning Monday) , however, I was
forced to skip. I grossly under
estimated my homework load today and didn’t have time to go to the gym. I know it is just an excuse, but I am allowed
two rest days a week so I guess I should take one.
On other news, I did sign up for the
color run this February in Jacksonville, Florida. for more information click here: http://thecolorrun.com/ I am far away from completing a 5k, so this
month’s exercise routine will be mostly dedicated to completing that. ( do
prefer cardio anyway)
I did eat five fruits/ vegetables
both today and yesterday. It is actually
a lot harder than I thought it would be.
Who knew I had so little fruit in my diet?
Finally, the procrastination has
decreased. I restarted a tried and true
productivity technique. I call my five
big rocks. This technique basically
requires that the night before I write the five most important things I need to
do for the day on a small post-it and place it in my agenda. I most do nothing on that note and do not
need to do anything more. Even though it
might seem like you are not doing enough.
(I mean, we all seem incredibly busy, right?) but five things a day,
done consistently, adds up to a
lot. Anyway, here is a picture of my "big rock" list:
Alright, see you all on Thursday!
