So, with the new year comes resolutions.
Like most other people, I’ve used the beginning of a New Year to try and turn over a new leaf.
For starters, I’ve decided to eat healther and to try and drop down to a weight of 180lbs. It’s gonna take some time but I can do it. Right now I’m “training” myself to only eat during meals and elimate snacking from my life. I’m not too concerned about acutally losing weight right now, but I figure most diets fail because people try to jump in to one all at once and can’t manage to change themselves so suddenly. After I tackle this stage I figure that eating less will follow, followed by eating healther and around the spring time some good exercise will come into play. I’m going to start a bit of a routine now just to get myself ready for when I start more rigorous stuff, but nothing too strenuous for now.
Mike got a book for Christmas called “This book will change your life.” The idea behind the book is that there are 365 activites (obviously one for each day of the year) that you will perform and it will lead you to many things, such as realizing who you are, gaining confidence and trying new activities.
The first day was really simple. It had a list of about ten different things and you had to choose one and do it. The second day was to look at everyone as if they are your future mate (or something to that extent). That yeilded some strange looks. It was kinda hard because working fast food you see a lot of people everyday, many of which you don’t want to look at in that way. (For reference, no, I did not do this with any males.)
Saturday was pretty rough. The activity was to throw something away that you love. I got rid of my lava lamp. I love(d) it. The only problem was that it had just been sitting on a filing cabinet in my room, doing nothing for a year now for multiple reasons, mostly because I don’t have much room for it. I wanted to keep it because I had no reason to throw it away, but now that it’s in the trash, I don’t think I’ll miss it.
Yesterday I was supposed to take a world map and color in the countries I’ve been to, the countries I want to go to, and the countries I don’t want to visit. That was kinda different because for a while I’ve been wanting to do SOME sort of travelling, thinking of all the place it would be fun to go, but when I really thought about it there are tons of places I really wouldn’t go near without some REALLY good reason. Surprisingly, I decided I’d like to visit russia. I don’t know why, but I think it would be fun to visit some of the monuments and historical “treasures” they have from the cold war.
Here is my map:

Today I have to place an “Out of Order” sign on something in a public place, in example, and restroom. I’m going to Olive Garden later, so we’ll see how that goes
Not much else has gone on. No reason to really try and recall all the events since I last posted because nothing TOO exciting has gone on, but now that I have something to post about everyday I think I’ll be doing it more frequently.
See ya.
