New Year - New Me



OMG! IT'S A NEW YEAR! I'M GONNA DO EVERYTHING DIFFERENT, AND I'M GOING TO DO CRAZY THINGS THIS YEAR. I'M GOING TO EXERCISE AND LOOSE WEIGHT AND 2018 WILL BE MY YEAR! JUST YOU WAIT AND SEE! 

........

lol

Let's be honest, the new year does make you feel rejuvenated. Can't deny that, and because of that, it makes you want to evaluate what you want to do this year, compared to last. Yet, for most of us, this only last a couple weeks to a couple months, why? Maybe because these goals aren't realistic. Back in high school, I learned what the fuck "smart goals" were. Back then I thought they were so stupid. Now, a few years later, I can see why they make sense and why they made it so important, but no one really cared back then, it was more tedious, then important. 

What are "smart goals" ? I looked up the exact definition of these, to be accurate. 

To make sure your goals are clear and reachable, each one should be:
  • Specific (simple, sensible, significant).
  • Measurable (meaningful, motivating).
  • Achievable (agreed, attainable).
  • Relevant (reasonable, realistic and resourced, results-based).
  • Time bound (time-based, time limited, time/cost limited, timely, time-sensitive).
Professor Rubin also notes that the definition of the SMART acronym may need updating to reflect the importance of efficacy and feedback. However, some authors have expanded it to include extra focus areas; SMARTER, for example, includes Evaluated and Reviewed.

I wish I had one of my smart goals from high school. It would be really funny to look back on. So, how do you make a resolution, attainable, so you continue it for the upcoming year? 

Some of my goals this year are: 
  • Learn how to love myself again 
  • Start the pescatarian diet journey 
  • Go back to school
  • Get a new job 
  • Go on a road trip 
  • Get back into art and photography and cinematography 

Let's take "Start the pescatarian diet journey" first. As it sounds, it sounds crazy and you look at it like, what? How do I do this?? 

S - Replace meats with fish and protein and cut the white carbs to grains

M - Each month, increase the diet, and introduce new foods 

A - Do check in's with a nutritionist or my sponsor to keep me on track and motivated

R - I will loose weight, and my sugar levels will decrease, and I will feel better. I will learn to cook more. It also helps, that I can't eat a lot of meat anyway, because I don't like it, and it has many oils and grease I can't have anyway 

T -  Create meal plans, that are realistic, and prep meals for the week so after a long day, I don't have to dread cooking


This goal is going to be difficult when it comes to my carb intake (which is way too high), because white carbs are so comforting. I am not rich, and so grabbing fast food (which I can't even eat half the time) is where I go. I want to change this, because clean eating, will without a doubt make me feel 10x better. 

I know I can achieve these goals with the support and motivation of the good outcomes to come. I am looking forward to this journey. Especially because I have issues eating. At least eating healthy, will keep my mind hopefully in a better place, then feeling really shitty after eating way too much crap food, and then not eating the next few days. Or just eating 1 "meal" a day. Eating will always be a struggle, and with clean eating, I believe it will curb those toxic thoughts more, and I will learn (hopefully) that eating (especially nutritionally) is good for my body and my body will thank me. 

So... That's it really. I'll update when I can on it. Umm, yeah, I'm bad at ending these things.

That's what this page is, a blank page. Well now it's not, but I keep deleting what I start. I don't really know how to start, or what to say. There's a lot. I've taken the past month (technically 2) to myself. I think I've made a lot of little victories. I'm learning that I don't need somebody else romantically. I learned that's actually the last thing I want right now.  A part of me, somewhere beyond the anger and betrayal, is holding out R and I will get back together. He was my future, he was it, the one. And that all crashed down.  Or so it seemed.  There were foundation holes missing and they stacked up and we crumbled to nothing. I will put more of the blame on him, because it is true, he dropped the ball on us. And if we got back together, what about the next time things get hard? Communication was never our strong suit. But I had been changing, I had been doing anything I could do to keep him and have him forever like he s...

Past Present Future

That's one way to say hello ain't it.  I skipped a month of posting. There was just a lot happening, and I didn't have the motivation to post.  - Sandy Hooks 6 year anniversary was last month.  - Found out a friend of mine passed away (Under questionable circumstances, but we're not going to get into that.) - My winter break went by so fast but so slow (If that's even possible)  - Work drama per usual  - Dealing with alot of nostolgia  - Today my manager partner quit... So. Now I'm in charge..... Cool.  I have an outline for the post, but I don't even know where to begin. I know that everything's going to work out, and that I've talked the subject of today enough, but like, I just can't shake it. I don't know how to get rid of this feeling. Even music isn't really helping.  I know I know, trust me, I'm pretty upset about it. I guess I should just dive in?  This post is going to be on the past, ...
