Well, I intended to wake up at 6:50 this morning so that I could work out before class. That didn't happen (don't fret, I did, however, work out today). Instead I woke up at 7:40, needing to be ready by 8:20. I made myself breakfast of oats, banana slices, cut up strawberries and grapes, raisins, walnuts, and almond milk. Quite delicious, however I couldn't finish all of it. Note to self don't make as much next time so you aren't wasteful. I ran a little late, so left at 8:30. Jennifer drove me to class so I made it on time thankfully.

In GNED I sat next to Alyssa, we're becoming quite good friends I do believe. I'm meeting her later for coffee (sugar free with soy of course ;). In class we talked about moral absolutes, whether they exist or not. It was an interesting conversation. If the ten commandments are moral absolutes then is it wrong to steal terrorist documents. Quite thought provoking really. I honestly don't know where I stand. I feel that I would steal those documents, and I don't think it would be breaking the ten commandments but as of yet I don't have a reason for this feeling.

We didn't have convocation today which was nice, so Alyssa and I watched a video of Xander, Joey, Aram, and Callum dancing at Capernwray. We reminisced some and it was really nice. Afterwards I did homework in the Honors office, which is the most excellent place to study. No one is incredibly loud, but if you want a diversion most are willing to converse. An additional bonus is free coffee!

I had a lovely lunch of salad with carrots, grapes, tomatoes, lettuce, spinach, sunflower seeds, and raspberry vinaigrette. It was delicious. I've also drank about six cups of water today.

In EVAN I was actually compelled to pay attention for most of the class. A young man shared his testimony of being diagnosed with four auto-immune diseases by the age of eight. It was really refreshing to see someone who appreciated his family like he did.

I had PHIL after that, where we are discussing logic. I'm trying to come up with questions in the lectures, but have not been very successful as of yet.

When I got home, Jen killed hopefully the last of the stink bugs. Perhaps I can sleep in my room tonight. I ran two miles (on the elliptical) then took a quiz for EVAN. Then I shredded. Did an exercise for SOCI and am now updating this blog thing.

Tonight I'm making fish and sauteed yellow squash, zucchini, and onions for dinner! Yum. Then talking to Mum on the phone, having coffee with Alyssa, and finally attending a viewing of a documentary on sex slavery tonight with Alyssa and Becky. It seems like pleasant enough evening. I won't be to bed till 12:30 probably, but I think I'll be alright. :)

Entry The First

I won’t lie, I don’t merely want to become healthier. I want to sexy, I want to go home in December
and makes all the boys I liked take notice finally. I want to then leave again continue getting
fit and arrive home in June looking fantastic and beach-ready. You know what I mean, lean legs, tight
stomach, perky butt and boobs, clear skin, glossy long hair. But I do want to be healthy. I want to be able to wake up in the morning
not feeling like an ancient. I don’t
want to have random binges, a kin to the one I had tonight…., I don’t want to
feel like working out justifies unhealthy eating habits. Especially since I never ever work out. I want to cook appetizing foods that will
make anyone who comes over think to themselves, “Gosh I need to be healthy like
Laura.” Am I starting narcissistic yet?

So here’s the plan: I’ve already bought great food for this
week. My meal plans are high in
vegetables and fruits, no dairy, minimum amounts of wheat, and no red
meat. They actually all sound fantastic. My plan is to work out every day, including
Sundays. There is a gym facility here at
our apartment complex I’ve never been inside of it, but that is going to
change. I probably sound much much too
ambitious here, however I am dedicated.
I know what I want and I am going to get it. Being only nineteen and two hundred pounds is
not acceptable. My goal is 170 by the
end of this year that gives me four months to lose thirty pounds, then 140 is
the ultimate goal to be reached by May 2010.

Chronicling is such a tool to be used. I will be chronicling pretty much every
aspect of my daily life. Amounts of
sleep, what time I wake up, what time I work out and how long, what I eat and
when, all sorts of fun tidbits no one cares about apart from myself. However I’m on a journey to figure out what
type of person I want to be for the rest of my life. I think I’ll chronicle what I do during the
day, how I spend my free time, and what thoughts I have. I’d like to see how healthier physical living
affects my intellectual and spiritual living.
This ought to be quite interesting and entertaining. Well I’m to bed so that tomorrow is a
productive day. Goodnight.
