Working It Out

So everyone knows how it is to set resolutions for yourself. Goals that you think will better yourself and your life. And everyone knows what it is like to give up these goals, and fail miserably. I am no exception. However, I am determined that the goals I have set shall be completed! Therefore, in an effort to force myself to be held accountable, I shall post them on here. And then, wonderful friends that you are, you may feel free to interrogate me as to the progress of these goals.

Goal 1: No sodas, except every now and then Sprite Zero, or something similar. So far I have done pretty well. For the past 2 1/2 weeks I have done this, except for last weekend, which was...horrible.(but only in diet terms. in all others it was great)

Goal 2: Healthier eating. Smaller portions, more fruits and veggies, way less fat and calories. And, in promise to Jonathan : daily vitamins. This has also been going well, other than that one weekend.

Goal 3: Exercise Routine. Trying to do a walking program that is 1 mile every day, in addition to aerobics every other day. So far I have done the walking program successfully every day except for yesterday, as I was sick. In the aerobics department I have so far done...nothing. Yeah....need to fix that.

Goal 4: Keeping my room neat and organized. Now this may sound easy. Not for me. I am very happy cleaning and organizing other people's stuff...but my room? yeah....not so much. I am OCD about a few aspects, for example: my books and my space at work. However, with some help from two very good friends my room has been completely organized and has stayed spotless for....6 days so far. So I shall try my absolute hardest to keep this up.

Of course I also have numerous personal and spiritual goals that I shall not list at this point. The above 4 however, shall be made public. I am determined to keep them.


And finally....a short little Tanka I wrote awhile back.


Struggling

Graceful swan floating
Across the shimmering lake.
Calm on the surface.

But beneath the peace she hides
Her fiercely struggling feet.
