Proactive.

(Warning, this is probably the most boring post I will ever write, but I still am writing it. For accountability and to stay true to my intentions of the blog- to 'journal' my life... I will be back with projects and office progress later this week!) Also, all pictures are taken from my iPhone- so don't judge :)

Today, I was the most productive than I ever have been- in my life.

I had an appointment for a 1st time visit at the chiropractor's office, at the constant urging of my "motherly" friend, Emily. I finally decided to quit saying and start DOING. I made an appointment via e-mail Friday and as MUCH as I DREADED the thought of a 10 a.m. Monday appointment, I fought my laziness and went through with it (I usually wake up around 11:30 on Mon/Wed because I don't have class until 4:30 p.m. I'm skeptical of chiropractic care, but I've heard a lot of the general wellness it promotes and I'm interested to try it... That and:

That was the list that made me suck it up and go visit the chiropractor. We go over x-rays Wed... so I'll keep you posted. And the only picture I took was to show my friends how humiliating the shorts were that I had to change into- so I won't be posting that... ha

After the chiropractor, I pulled into my driveway exhausted and hungry. I sat in my car and realized I don't have anything at home. I was dying to get back in my warm bed and take a nap. (I'm extremely lethargic... in case you haven't noticed- all I want to do is sleep...) I decided that I would try and fight the laziness and keep myself up. I told myself if I could fight through the sleepiness, maybe I could get to bed at a normal time and start a good sleeping schedule... I heard it helps a lot with weight loss. I'll try anything at this point.

I made my way to the grocery store and made the best decisions and purchases (even while starving!) I left with $75 worth of fruits, veggies, and protein. I was so happy. BUT, I have done this before... and everything has gotten moldy and fuzzy before I even consume it...

That brings us to my 3rd productive thing. I put my groceries away and wanted to nap. WAIT. I can't nap! I defeat #2! I decided to quit postponing my cabbage soup making and used the time while I was putting it together to also try this "meal planning" business. It hit me. No wonder all my stuff gets tossed and yucky- I put it in my fridge and forget about it! With a busy full-time student schedule, it's easy to run out the door with 3 minutes to spare and forget breakfast or grabbing a lunch. I get stuck spending $10 on a turkey sandwich at the school and forget my water bottle. It's awful. Not today.

I washed, cut, diced, prepared, and tupperware-ed. (It's a word, trust me). It took a while, but I have NO excuse!!! I don't have kids- I have the most chill dog that just watches me quietly haha... I don't have a husband... hardly a boyfriend with his travel schedule (just kidding, booboo), and no work (I'd love to change that... but while I'm unemployed- I have no excuse!)

It started with just preparing my lunch for tomorrow, then I found myself washing all the fruits I got and getting them ready for easy consumption. No more excuses for me to find. They're all washed and ready to eat in their own little container.

I was a machine. I was so proud of myself, sending Emily and my sister texts throughout the process, with pictures as proof. I couldn't believe it- I bet my nephew had to pick my sister's jaw up off the floor when she got my texts...

It's 3:30 p.m. now... I have class at 4:30. That's productive... right? Doing all this and not skipping... just give me this one :) (Especially since I didn't have my nap!)

At 6:30 p.m., I'll be meeting India at the gym to do the 5th productive thing today-
Workin' out... I've said it before... I'm trying to get healthy, but now I have some sort of accountability... A few friends and I are going to try to keep it going for at least 4 weeks. I know it's hard when you're the only one eating right... so hopefully with all of us doing it- we'll see results. I'm excited... I'm ready to quit hating my pictures... I hate cringing when I see a photo- I used to be so photogenic! I wanna be the Old Joon. Current Joon sucks... ok not really, but I am 60lbs heavier so I'm ready to change. Keep me accountable!!!!
