I finally got around to working out. Since I was kinda tuckered out and sore, I only did 30 minutes instead of an hour. If I have time for a full hour tomorrow, I'm going to do that. As long as I'm going something, that's all that matters! Now, I'm just going to settle in with some Netflix and call it a night!

Ohhhh god I'm tired and don't want to exercise but I really really should...

Oh god, I just remembered how back early in the summer I would write down every single thing that I wanted to do that day, planning it out to a tee... It's not that that habit was bad, because when the summer started I was much more productive, I just tended to not do a lot of the things I had planned out since I am rarely motivated. I should really try to do that more often. I already use a planner for my assignments at school, so maybe I could start writing a few extra things in each day to do around the house or for workouts, etc. I do love crossing things out!

Welp, cleaning took next to no time at all, but at least I can cross it off that list!

Only 3 questions left for me to answer tonight, so I may as well take my break to clean some now! I think I'll also get rid of some of the old scarves that I bought but never wore and other things of that nature to give myself more closet space.

Only 5 more questions to answer until I've reached my goal for the day!!!! YESSSSS!!!!!! Once I've answered 2 more, I'll take a break and go through my closet some. 

Goals for Today

Since I have so much to get done today, I'm making myself a checklist.

• Answer 14 of the 19 questions I need to answer for my Heart of Darkness work. I've already answered 5, so I have 9 to go.
• Exercise, of course! I want to work out for at least 30 minutes. Hopefully I'll have time to do a little more than that, though!
• Clean my room some. It's always in need of some work. My closet especially could use some extra space, so cleaning it is definitely a must. I have a TON of purses and bags and stuff that I don't use, and some of the Vera Bradley stuff I could try to sell on eBay so I can have extra money for college. The rest of the stuff I would donate to Goodwill. If I don't get a lot of this done today, that's okay, I just want to do a little bit of work in there. 

Speaking of school...

I HAVE ONLY TWO DAYS TO FINISH HEART OF DARKNESS AND ANSWER A BAJILLION QUESTIONS I AM GOING TO DIE!!!!!!! 

I am kinda worried that my progress will slow down a bit once I get back to school, since it'll be harder for me to make time to exercise. I'm not too worried about tracking my food, since that's pretty easy. I will be surrounded by worse foods and the temptation to get a lot of fast/unhealthy foods, though... I'm just going to have to take things one day at a time and make the best of the time I have. 

Since the new semester is starting soon, I'll at least have a much less demanding school schedule! No more Honors Government or Economics, and I'll have a study hall and "advanced" Video Production (which can act as a study hall when I'm done with my work in that class)! So hopefully that'll make it easier for me to find time to exercise after school.

So I weighed myself this morning, and I was right! I did make a lot of progress! I lost 3 pounds since I first started documenting my food and exercising regularly! I can't wait to see how much total I lose. My goal is to get down to 145 pounds by spring break, but at this rate I think I can get to 140. I was at 165 once I started. Even though my body carries that weight relatively well, if I didn't start taking care of myself I would only go downhill as I aged. I'm feeling pretty good about things so far!
