134 days of change.....

simple, yet achievable resolutions...

they are a little late.. i mean it is april.. usually ppl make these things at the beginnign of the year.. but oh well. better late than never..

its something new i'm doing.. ive never really been into the the whole short term goal setting/ or any goal setting to be honest. but recently come to the realization i really need to get everything sorted out in my life, or i'm once again gonna end up nowhere..

so here i am at 2:55AM in the middle of exam season.. and here are my goals.

from april 26th onwards until September 7th.. pretty much my whole summer...

1) work out at least 4 times a week.. whether it be swimming for an hour, or cardio and weights.. (surprisingly, this will be one of my easier goals.. since i'm moving into a condo for the summer w/an indoor pool and fitness room just downstairs )

2) eating a whole LOT healthier.. which means.. 95% less junk food.. less carbs.. eatting actual meals throughout the day

3) studying for my spring/summer courses.. and actually doing the readings and assignments.. that's been really one of my biggest failures.. i had previously managed to do semi-ok in uni with very minimal work.. but its not working anymore.. my brain isnt absorbing as much in a short period of time.. so i really gotta step it up now!!!!

4) save up $$ for NYC ... most likely gonna be going to NYC at the end of july/beginn of august.. so i definietly need to spend less from now till then, so i have $ for good food, shopping, broadway show, etc!!

5) spend less time on the internet.. i really really do need to cut back my time on facebook, and checking my email, and random surfing websites... if i cut back on my internet time, i will have have time to do other things like: work out, study, clean my room, read

6) have a consistent sleep schedule and pattern.. that may seem kind of stupid, but for those who know me, i have chronic insomnia.. and i can never really seem to fall asleep when i need to, hence i'm writing this at 3AM. I need to figure out a good sleep pattern that will allow to fall asleep at a decent hour, and wake up at a reasonable time, while still maintaing a certain amt of energy during the day, with little or no caffeine.

my full year goals...

1)i want to have the course creds and marks to graduate DEC 2010.. though i have decided that i will take an extra semester to pull up marks.. but that is my goal

2)when back in school, to work out at least 3 times a week..whether it be just walkign the dog, or goign for a run, or to the gym or whatever. NEED to sweat at least 3 times a week :P

3) SPEND LESS.. OMG.. one of my biggest failures.. i can't seem to ever not spend $.. not for very long periods of time at least.. i've gotten a bit better over the last 1.5 years.. bought less.. bought less frequently... bought items with a lower $$$.. but still gotta work on it..

4) have at least $2500 saved at the end of the school year... not for any particular reason.. just something i want to have done.. it may not seem like a big amt.. but this would be a big change to my "live each paycheque to paycheque" life that i currently and have in the past lived would be a VERY DRASTIC change.

5) and again.. spend less time on the internet. i want to set an actual limit like daily for myself.. i'm not sure what exactly is a plausible amt for me yet, as i really gotta test how long i can go without the internet.. but once i have set that limit for myself, i need to stick to it..


so from april 26 -sept 7.. 134 days.. I can do it!!! i can get through those 134 days.. and i can get through the rest of year !!! i can do it.. I HAVE TO DO IT!!!
