Reality is a dish best served realistically

HAPPY EASTER.

Okay, now we can move on.

So, I've been trying to think about what kind of things I want to do for the month of April. The month of March was mostly dedicated to figuring out what's wrong with me, but I think I'm healthy enough to set some goals and get my butt back into the gym. Now, my therapist would probably poo poo my idea of going to the gym everyday for the month of April. She'd say it's not realistic and that I'm setting myself up for failure. You see, I'm a pretty all-or-nothing type of girl. I'm either going balls to the wall or I'm not going at all. I'm either in it 110% percent or I'm contributing nothing. I'm either going to do it perfectly or I'm not going to do it at all. Sooo, I'm working on settling for "good enough," so that I can make changes in my life that are actually sustainable long-term. That, and so that I stop punishing myself for failing at things that are damn near impossible. Thus, I'm going to set my goals that I think are actually realistic.

So, for April, I want to hit the gym about 4 times a week. That gives me 2 strength training days and 2 cardio days. Any other day I go is a bonus and shall be applauded by...Bailey... I also want to stop eating out/ordering in. I've had pizza delivered 2 or 3 times and I've been studying all day at places that have food. I'm making decent decisions when it comes to making the healthy choice, but whoa, have I spent a lot of money. Sooo, I think for the month of April, I'm just going to call that quits. Now, if it's like a family dinner or something, yeah, I'll go for it. But I've got to stop this "just because" spending.

I think that's all I'm going to focus on for April. I just want to get myself back to the gym 4 times per week and stop eating out/ordering in. That seems reasonable enough, right?

Also, I haven't accomplished much today. These lecturers are so damn boring. My goal is to get in two more lectures tonight and that's a pretty tall order because I really, really, really don't want to watch them. Tomorrow I've gotta get my butt in gear and get down to business because we're one week into the domain and I've done almost nothing. Yay, medical school...
