Yi Min's Diary

All I ask is that no one post in my diary.

respond to them. I would like my Diary to stay organized and
uniform. I know, I am OCD like! THANKS!

Thoughts

Today was a difficult day for me. I stayed up till two AM trying to finish a book for my lit appreciation class. It was a difficult book to get into and even more difficult to finish. Other students said they didn't even finish it. I got up late because of staying up late, which threw my whole day out of whack.

After my dinner has settled for an hour or so, I will jump on the treadmill for about 45 minutes. I'll record that later of course. I've decided that I am going to try to start getting up early, so that I can do 45 minutes of cardio in the morning and use the evening for weights or aerobics. Not sure yet.

I have a huge problem with motivate. I need to work on that.

I've decided to make sundays my break days. I do not plan on eating everything and anything. I am still going to try to eat in proper portions. Today my husband and I are being invited to dinner with one of his friends.

On Monday, I am going to start waking up a few hours early to get in a treadmill session or an aerobic video. Cross your fingers for me that I will actually do it!

Thank God that spring break is here. I have two take home midterms to work on and a ton of independenty study to catch up. But that's ok! I feel ok about it. I plan on using spring break to train myself to get up early enough to exercise before class and work. I think I can do it.

For every ten pounds I lose, I will buy myself a new outfit. XD My mother sent me a bunch of jeans each a size smaller than the next. Down to a size nine. This way, I have at least one pair of jeans to wear at each new size. It made me sooo happy.

My husband has been using the gym at his work and he's looking great too!! Hurray!
