♥ "i wanna ruin our friendship, we should be lovers instead" ♥ This is mainly a journal for me to get everything that I'd like to do down.
So, if ya wanna listen, please do! But, there is a TL;DR, as always :3
First things first: My health.
It's slowly declining, but it's entirely my fault.
Since entering college, I have gained around 40 or so pounds, which is appalling to me, especially in this short amount of time that I've been here.
I've identified why this happened: not enough exercise, and excess junk food.
Since I need to really watch my wallet, I've been buying cheap, unhealthy food.
Rarely does my fridge see fresh fruits and veggies.
But, as I was watching my wallet, I wasn't watching my weight.
And I started stress eating, as well as boredom eating, which is pretty much the same thing for me.
And that piled up quick.
And although I walk to all my classes, and walk to most places around town anyhow (such as Safeway),
that wasn't nearly enough exercise to be keeping me fit.
Since all of this, my knees have become weaker, my metabolism slower, and I've been having a harder time sleeping, along with feeling really self conscious and depressed.
SOLUTION
I've made myself a chart of things to do, and my boyfriend is going to be reminding me, since I also sent a chart.
I'm going to go to the gym TWICE a week, for at least an hour. Prolly Tuesday and Thursday.
On the days I don't, I'm going to, at home, do yoga and at least 75 crunches. Perhaps with some Just Dance, for fun.
I'm going to be EVEN better about drinking water.
I'm cutting soda and candy entirely from my diet, along with fast food.
I'm going to exchange quick meals with fresh food.
My turnaround time.
It's not great at all.
I keep taking more commissions than I should, and get way too overwhelmed.
On top of my part-time job, homework, and everything else, it's hard to focus on art.
But you all paid for my services, and I need to work on this a LOT.
SOLUTION
I'm going to commit myself to do AT LEAST one commission a day.
I'm only ever going to take a MAX of 10 commissions at a time.
Preferably, however, I'm going to only be doing 5 at a time.
Homework.
I've never been really great at doing homework on time, or quickly.
I generally put it off until the night before, and that just isn't working for me.
It's making me more stressed than I need to be.
I'm paying thousands of dollars for this education, so I better act like it.
SOLUTION
Homework before ANYTHING.
Do homework as SOON as it's assigned.
Other stuff!
I really wanna go to BLFC, but I need AT LEAST $200 for it.
In order to save, from now on, I'm going to put at least $20 in my savings every week, if not more.
I'll only ever use it for an emergency.
I'm only going to allow myself to buy food and art supplies from now on.
I need to start saving up for my rent this summer, and for cons.
I'm going to, at least once a week, work on something fursuit related.
I miss it a lot, and am so close to finishing TWO fursuits.
I'm not going to distance myself from people anymore.
I'm going to talk more, make more friends, and try to be social.
But, I'm also going to work hard, and not use friends as an excuse for not doing any of this.
TL;DR
I'm going to work out.
I am going to focus on art and homework more.
I need to get better at saving money.
IF you made it this far, thanks for reading.
I love you all so much more than you can know.
You're a big reason I keep going.
Thank you <3♥ "i don't know how to say this, cause you're really my dearest friend" ♥
MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE FURRY FANPAGE
Currently run and co-owned by me.
Killjoys, make some noise!
Ugh, it's the worst. College is stupid bleh.
Yeah, there's not much noticeable difference, except to me.
Some of my fave shirts are getting tight, and some of my pants no longer fit augh ;n;
That's a good excerise! You can do it too! WEIGHT LOSING COLLEGE FUR FRIENDS!
It's kinda hard at first, but gets easier and easier. Especially since I've just been getting water and juice.
I have Just Dance too, and use it to work out!! It's a more fun way to work out.
Let's do this together!! <3
I know you can do it! x3
Yeah, I was definitely going to take it slower. Just shorter workouts and mini exercises every day.
Thanks for letting me know that!
Thank you <3
If I get that Fabric Depot job, I'm home free. But I'll let you know, thank you. I'd pay you back at some point too.
I know, I love eating over at your place, I can't wait to have homecooked meals every night <3
