New Years Resolutions

I've never been a fan of having New Years resolutions, but somehow I think this new year I will internally have a few things I want myself to work on.

1. My health: As of recent I have developed a loss in my appetite. I just haven't been craving food as I usually do, and anyone who knows me knows I love food. So my resolution would be to make sure that if not every day at least every week I ate and I eat things I need to eat. Not only starch and dairy but fiber, vegetables, fruits, and drink plenty of water. Drinking water is a bit difficult to do because it's so cold they body doesn't require that much water to cool itself, so I feel thirsty less, but I still need to drink more water. Sometimes days go by and I don't drink water by itself. I might get water fro my food, but to have one glass of water no. Also in the health department - taking multivitamins and cod liver oil and other supplements. A discussion in my Environmental Ethics lecture had me thinking that even if I eat the recommended amounts of everything I probably will still be lacking minerals and vitamins simply because the soils on which our food is being grown has less nutrients in it and hence there are less nutrients in the food itself. So to ensure that at least I will have a little something in me I will take multivits and cod liver oil. And the last thing in regards to health is exercise. Afrobana is done and it seems like my exercise regime is too. I need to continue going to the gym and working out. I think I've plateaued because I saw pictures of myself and thought oh wow my body looks great. So in my mind it's not necessary for me to work out and get a rocking body because I already have one. What I think I'm going to do is get another reason, another motivation. Maybe to tone my body even more. Or to gain strength - do more push ups or whatever. Or for more stamina by doing my cardio. Whatever it is I need to get back into the gym. I noticed a relationship between time spent in the gym and time spent studying/doing homework. The more times per week I worked out the more hours I put into doing school work. And trust me I love that. So I need to get back on that. Now this talk of school has lead me to my second resolution...

2. My academic development: An email from my dad kinda shook me [then again most of them tend to do that lol]. But it was that my love for performing has everyone worried about my academics. Yes this makes me wonder why is it that no one will think maybe I'm aiming to work in the wrong profession instead of worrying about how my academic standing is. I don't want to go much further on that last statement but instead want to say that next semester I am going to continue the hard work and dedication to my academics much further. I know it's going to be tough seeing as I am organising the largest show at my university, but I'm not giving up hope on myself. Where there's a will there's a way, right? I believe that combined with the gym I shall be rather satisfied with the level of work I shall put out. I have faith in my abilities to work. Most of the time I don't feel like I have anything to prove to anyone lol. Oh well. Make myself happy and everyone else around me will be happy too.

3. I just thought I'd add this lol...enjoy life. I want to not be afraid of doing what I want, especially if it doesn't hurt anyone else or any other creature/non-human. Do what I want to do.

Yea so my New Years resolutions: Take care of myself. Handle my business. Live life to the fullest.
