One thing that they try to drill into your head as a missionary is the principle of accountability, especially in the sense that you report on your goals to your leaders and to Heavenly Father. I currently live alone, if you don't count the large population of spiders that also dwell there. I'm pretty sure they're HOBO spiders too. But they're not very good listeners Probably because I kill them on sight, so I guess it's not their fault. But I digress. Anyway, that leaves very few people to report to, so consider this my report.
Academically- I have been in the library studying for hours each day, six out of the past seven days. As far as my specialty exam status goes, I have successfully upgraded from "Oh my gosh I'm going to die, I'll never learn all this stuff!" to "OK, I'm on track, and I can do this, even though I'd really rather not". I am proud of this improvement.
Physically- One of my 101 goals was to go to the gym six days a week for a month. Today marks one week down, three to go. It also marks the realization of what awful planning I have, since next week I'm going on vacation with the fam and will be unable to attend the gym and will have to start all over. Oh, well, good thing I enjoy the gym.
Nutritionally- today I had Greek yogurt for breakfast. I realize that sounds more healthy than it actually is, but I discovered this new kind (Greek God Honey flavor) that is like heroine in yogurt form. I'm not making that comparison from experience, merely to prove a point. I think I'll go home now and have some more. Then I ate an apple and some fresh snow peas for lunch. Then I had an XXL Grilled Stuffed Burrito for dinner. So, there's still some room for improvement I suppose. I'll do better tomorrow....maybe.
Oh my heckers - I just ate too much of that yogurt today. Then stumbled on this blog post. Your description is perfect.
ReplyDeleteDear Jessi,
ReplyDeleteI don't know you, but it's fun to have a stranger read and comment on my blog. Also, I like you because you said heckers. It made me giggle. Thanks.
P.S. I had yogurt for desert last night and for breakfast this morning and am already craving more.
