How I did it
It made me
feel worthy 
How I did it: I went out and started to try on dozens of clothes. Anything I could get my hand on that seemed like me. Then I made notes as to what I can and cannot pull off. Sweaters make my tiny pudgy body look larger than it is, jeans will never fit me just right, and I have a large neck with very broad shoulders so dress shirts are difficult to fit. Read how I did it…

A sad 2nd week
20 months ago
I’ve gained…:(
I will blame stress at work and school.
Hopefully the 3rd week will be better than the last.
So much time
21 months ago
I’ve been watching my actions closely. There is five minutes from my car to my class that I can use for study: Broaden Vocab and Learn Spanish. That’s 10 minutes a day to review on notecards and it’s been working well.
It’s also a 25 minute commute from home to class which I listen to Spanish tapes.
Working out at the gym for an hour is a great place to read over class notes or for me, to memorize more poetry. Also, when I’m on the weights or can’t find a good place to read I can also use my MP3 player to review over recorded class lectures.
I’m still looking for little ways to get the most out of my time.
