How I did it: At first, I wrote in a book, but then I found that using my laptop was more comfortable for me. Eager to accomplish my goal, I journaled almost religiously, but then as time progressed, I began to do it less. What really helped me complete this goal was to set a limit, that being that I could not go two weeks without journaling. The limit was short enought to keep me on track, but not so short that it made journaling feel like a job. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I got up early to eat breakfast so I would have the time to eat it instead of buying it while rushing to school, and made sure to pack my own lunches instead of purchasing it. The food money I saved by doing this in addition to the left over money from my allowance let me reach my goal a whole lot faster. Read how I did it…
I’m pretty disorganized and lack time-management skills. This goal looks pretty helpful and do-able.
Make a to-do list every day! That sounds simple enough for my brain :)
Also, because it’s only five things, I can more likely get everything done. I find that when I write to-do lists, they can go on as long as twenty-something (2*) things, making it hard to single in on and focus on one single task (redundant on purpose).
I’m 5’6” and 163 lbs. By a lot of people’s standards, I’m not fat or heavy looking. In fact, as a kid, I was really overweight, but once I hit puberty, it kind of apparated off, so I’m much skinnier than I was then. Despite all of this, I would still like to loose some weight because I’m not at the point where I’m completely comfortable with myself and my body, so I think that reaching my ideal body size would be a real confidence booster. I’m small boned, so I think that 135 pounds, or 140 with muscle, would get me at that desired shape. 23/27 pounds is a lot to loose, but I figure that if I officially make it a goal, then I can actually start to reach it.
bleh~~ Two months since the last entry and I’m still trying, but either I’m making absolutely no progress whatsoever or there is a small amount, but I’m just not noticing it [most likely the case].
Since there is no progress at school (the personalities of the children and myself are not very compatible), and I see no potential friends there, I am putting most of my effort into the outside world.
In another attempt to reach my goal, I’ve joined a teen center, which I usually go to once a week. I really like it there, and it helps me in more ways than one. The main goal is to get more involved in the center, seeing as how the people there and I get along well.
Taking the advice of the comment on my last entry, I have started to go to the center with a friend from school. It is a recent thing, so I cannot quite determine how it’s going and impacting our current relationship, but I do think something good may come out of it.
Even though I see no potitive changes (have lost friends but not gained any), I’m still making the effort, and if nothing happens, there is always college.
