Today is the last day of classes for the term, I still have 2 papers to finish and hand in and probably won’t do so until mid next week. Instead of getting up early and to work on them I slept in, watched ANTM (not proud of this) and did some reading for my last International Development seminar tonight.  I still haven’t exercised in over a week, and I’ve got a feeling that tomorrow’s training session is going to kick my ass.

I’m hoping getting my term paper back in class tonight will give me the confidence to just finish these damn papers. That’s assuming I do alright on it, but I did work very hard and I generally do pretty well when I put effort into something. Isn’t it amazing how the two correlate? I say this sarcastically of course.

I DO have to ability to pull off good grades when I try, and the same thing goes for healthy living. When it’s important and I try my hardest, then I see results, it’s not exactly rocket science. So why do I avoid doing what needs to be done? Push my responsibilities aside for immediate gratification and self-indulgence? It’s like a part of my brain shuts off.

My biggest life goals right now are to lose 100 lbs and get an honors degree before I turn 30. I’ve been avoiding and postponing both for so long and I’m running out of time.

What was the kick in the ass you needed to get moving on your goals?
