First day of the rest of my life...

I just had an amazing week, over 20 hours volunteering in three days with three differrent organizations.  I know what I want to do with my life and it is so liberating.  It is just getting there that is the issue.  After much searching though I am finding that following through with a degree in marketing will be useful after all.  However, it looks like once I get my final year finished up I might be needing to do some travelling around to be available for different jobs, but I guess I will have to do what I need to do. 

The whole getting healthy front is only going slightly well.  Just purchased a whole bunch of vegetables and fruit, so that will be helpful.  However, the gym front has not been so good, going to try and change that, but I feel like I am doing well taking one step at a time.

Hopefully I can keep going this way and will be spending more days soon doing things that are beneficial and not just wasteful.

I can’t lie and saying I’m not wasting a lot of my days still sleeping in, but I am making the best of work and have volunteer stuff lined up like crazy. 

I also pretty much met the person who has my dream job and will be volunteering with her this summer, so hopefully I get to see what it is really llike.  I can’t wait for it all to get started. 

I still have so much I want to do and get working on, so hopefully I can get it together.

Glad to say feeling much better about everything, exams are done, volunteer opportunities have come together, going home soon, and have even got some at home workouts in (well one, but it’s a start!).

My extra special sharing for this week (not somethign I learned but wanted to share anyway) is that on Wednesday nights the Food Network has some pretty awesome looking shows that start at 9 pm.  So if you are a good junkie like me it is worth checking out!

Hopefully now that I don’t have to school to worry about at all I can focus on my goals and continue with updates that are on the more positive side!

Happy Easter!

So this is the third time I have tried to post this message.

It’s as if my computer is trying to keep me from owning up to my own lack of commitment. But this blog is doing as I hoped and not letting me forget the promise I made to myself. 

I need to stop wasting my time doing incredibly pointless things.  Staying up late for no reason and then sleeping half of the next day away, not a good way to stay on top of my goals. 

I’ve also become aware of how important it is for me to be more careful with my money, useless purchases are costing me mega money.  I think I gotta cut up my debit and credit cards or at least hiding them….for me debit, the more “I” use it, the greater my debt.  If I keep wasting my money I won’t have any to buy stuff that will help me, such as healthier food. 

I know I just need to force myself to do everything I want for the first couple weeks and then it will become easier..at least thats what I hear, but I know it is going to be a struggle for me to say the least. 

Anyway getting started right now on getting work done and getting my day going.

Hopefully I will have better news soon,

If I expect anyone to be able to call me on my progress I guess I should let everyone know what I want to accomplish this summer;

1. Be healthier- less eating out and more snacking on fruit and veggies

2. Be more fit- regular exercising and generally more active living

3. Learn something new every week (especially about topics that are relevant to my studies next year)

4. Volunteer every chance I get

5. Less “vegging” time, no sitting around when I can be doing something better for myself

6. Create positivity in all aspects of my life, even if I have to fake it to get myself to believe it (espeically at work)

Well I guess those are the main goals, hopefully I will have lots to share about how I am accomplishing these goals, even though they may not appear difficult, for me it will involve changing a lot of bad habits.

So it is the start of my summer and the start of a new me.  Not that I think there is something wrong with myself, I just know that I can be a better me; a happier, healthier, more positive me. 

I’m mostly going to use this blog to share my experiences this summer in working toward that better me…hopefully it will be more success stories than failures. 

And I am sure I will have other rambles as well. 

If you are just browsing random blogs I hope it won’t be a total waste of time for you to look over this one. 

Wish me luck!
