Story of My Life...

So, hopefully, I can bring up my health quotient by starting to go with a personal trainer (which my dad has so kindly decided to allow me to take instead of him). I feel kind of horrid that I wasn't getting any better with tennis or on my own, but I think that's because I'm not eating well either. It's somewhat de-motivating to look down at the scale and see that you're ten pounds heavier, even though you've been working out and whatnot.
I think I'll start tracking calories like Heathy said, and then also go with the 1 hour workout every day in order to keep up with fitness. If I do that, I would like to get down under 130 pounds, because that is my 'ideal weight' or so they say. I would really like to build arm strength and stamina and perhaps some tennis skills, but right now general fitness is my goal.
Gah. Sorry. I just needed to write that down because I got really unhappy with myself when I figured this out. I thought I was 140, but it's been so long since I've weighed me that I am now 150. Grr... Other than that, I feel quite fine.
I've decided that I will be doing a lot of things, and most of them are brain-oriented. That's the problem. I want to be well-rounded, but that 'rounding' includes fitness and the idea of self-worth. I'm starting to feel good about myself, and I'm starting to really find who I am, but at the same time that's still a start. I need to be disciplined to get anywhere from it. And, since I am quite the willful child, I guess I have to do things on my own. So...

The Interpretation of 'Stressed Out'

AHH! We returned from mid-winter break and now I have absolutely no time to think for myself!
After having such a relaxing and semi-creative break, I feel that the 'Almighty School System' has come back to smite me. Project after project, assignment after assignment, test after test... I will be broken down again shortly, I suppose.
But for now, I'm still fighting the inevitable decline in personal life and lock-down on basic human social functions. I've decided that this year I'm going to start exercising (yippee!) but not as part of a weight loss plan - as a way to get off my butt and get ready for tennis season [which actually starts sooner than I thought...] And alongside that I have a year-long project that I am going to attempt, where I do one art subject per month. This month it's a combination of photography, Photoshop, and story-writing which I think will become a masterpiece [but we can all be wrong sometimes...]
As for the current day, I have been swamped in homework, Bally Total Fitness, and my own dismal attempt at writing every day. A wonderful way to begin the New Year...
