Thanks so much for the advice and support many of you gave me last night!
I layed in bed this morning and thought up some goals. Starting with unpacking my damn suitcase, but thinking more macroscopically as well. There are some issues that inform these goals (isn’t it amazing that I have complaints I don’t tell you about, I feel like I complain a lot) that I’ll share first –
- My legs hurt like crazy. My calf/shin issue makes me scream when Adam brushes my leg and makes stairs horrific.
- I’m exhausted. All the time.
- I have literally not had a bite of fruit this week.
- I feel stiff, and awful, and old.
- I haven’t been studying Chemistry enough and I feel my A slipping away.
- I weigh about 10lbs more than I would like, and have been planning on dealing with this since NYC.
Ok. Issues aired, here are my goals for the rest of November –
- Go to bed by 10:30 at least 4 days a week.
- Do NOT do any cardio for the next 7 days.
- Stretch at least 5 days a week.
- Eat more fruits and vegetables.
- Use Caitlin’s idea to waste less time on the internet.
That said, I’m actually not going to be posting today. I have another foot appointment this afternoon and a Chemistry quiz I’m not ready for before lab (which runs until 9pm). Plus, you know, the damn suitcase!

I love that you listed your complaints and then a solution. I have been desperately trying to get my sister to do that. She complains about her problems but does nothing to solve them. You’re on the right track, hang in there!
i havent unpacked my suitcase either. AND i have my WHOLE HOUSE to unpack as well, since i moved just before san fran. ughhh. great goals! best of luck!
hang in there!!!
Em – All during your school years, I said that you got your homework done better on a day when you also had a volleyball game AND play practice. On the unusual day you had nothing after school, you started homework at 11:00 PM (I’m sure I crabbed about it…). I feel confident that when you have a job, you will efficiently accomplish all you need to at work, school, and the gym. In the mean time, accept the situation for what it is and enjoy the rare free time to relax and read, continue to be the helpmate Adam deserves, and please worry less. Your mother loves you and admires you. Besides, only a mom (and a Nana!) want to read a blog about a perfect person!
I agree with your mom-your blog is funny! don’t feel bad about complaining, it makes life interesting.
i like your goals… if make them all i’ll give you a present!
You can do i t!!
I am always tired too, and would LOVE to weigh less and procrastinate on school work and all of the above, but you know what… we are human!
Maybeing visiting some positive body image sites and posting quotes for inspiration will help you feel a bit better?
Sending warm thoughts your way!
Hang in there!
Hang in there! I love that you have a solution to each complaint – that is a good way to get moving 🙂
I hope the appointment goes well!
injuries are never fun – just be patient and know if you take the time, you will come back stronger than ever!
good luck!
