How I did it
How to dress better
It took me
7 months
It made me
Happy

How I did it: I decided bum was not a good look for me. I bought clothes that fit, were classic in cut and color and made me look professional. I'm still no good with accessorizing but that will be the next goal. Read how I did it…

How to cook a vegetarian meal at least once a week
It took me
60 days
It made me

How I did it: I got tired of spending money on food at work. So I decided to cook. Sometimes I make a full meal, or sandwiches or salads. Tofu is a great addition to any meal for protein. Read how I did it…

get a six pack
I hate my tummy 3 months ago

I’m nowhere near fat but being pregnant really does a number on the abs. I need to fix it pronto. I saw the infomercial for P90X and read reviews and I think that might be the way to go. I can’t buy until next week since I’m broke but I’m psyched to start up. However, if I find I’m starting to look like a mini-bodybuilder, it goes out the wondow!! I hate looking and feeling bulky more than I hate my tummy!!

Drink only water or unsweetened tea (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 3 months ago

This is going well although my tea is always sweetened with artificial sweeteners and there’s no way I can eliminate milk – I love cereal. Hmm..a conundrum. Maybe the goal needs re-stating.

Go on a date
Untitled 3 months ago

So how exactly does a single mother get a date in this day and age? I’m of the opinion that internet dating is for players or losers, with the former taking full advantage of the latter. And since I refuse to post pics of myself on the web, not really much of an option for me even if I chose to be a player :D.

Meh, whatever!
