I be workin' on my FITNESS

After not having gone to the gym at all last semester (not really), and not really doing much over the holidays (other than eat, eat, eat!), I want to feel healthy and fit. So I'm going to do a 30-day fitness challenge, starting February 1st. I've never really given a lot of thought to my fitness and body, considering my (constantly pointed out) fast metabolism and genes. But those will have to run out one day, and I'd like to have a healthy lifestyle of being active!

What I like about this challenge is that it works more than just your body. There are five challenges for each day: Active, Exercise, Flexibility, Nutrition, and Mind/Body.


And don't tell me Asians always look young. Because they don't. I believe Asian women have a date where they will just turn old-looking one day. This isn't a vanity or pride issue...it just is.

One day, I'll go from looking like this:

Ah, sunny Ithaca days.

To this:

Oh yeah. That's hot.

All overnight. Maybe over two nights, you never know - the metamorphoses could take a smidgen longer.

Well...

I don't know what to do.

At first, I thought I was completely ready to be done with school. That I wanted the freedom and was ready to tackle on something with my life other than studies.

Now that I'm here, I have no idea what I'm doing, where I am going, why I'm doing this, and several regrets.

The regrets are the worst, really.

Figuring out this whole "growing up" phase of my life doesn't sit well with me.

Let's try this again...

So, obviously, my last year's "New Year's Resolution" did not go so well. Let's recap what went wrong here...


According to my New Year, New Times blog post from Friday, January 7th 2011 (almost exactly a year from today!): "This year, I intend to create something at least once a week. I'm leaving myself a lot of leeway in the this resolution, considering how every year before this, the number of kept resolutions stands at a solid zero. Perhaps with this blog, I'll feel obligated enough to make myself better through the projects I create.  Plus I don't really like Twitter or tumblr so this seemed the most viable option."

Yeaaaaah. So, maybe that didn't go so well. Don't get me wrong, it's not that I didn't do something creative at least once a week, but I just didn't really keep track of it. And I wanted some kind of log to see the progression of things that I have done. 

Lasts

My last final exam is today in about an hour and a half.

My last final paper is due before I leave on Thursday morning.

My last PPECS dealing was last week.

My last Journalism class was last Thursday, and my last undergraduate class was last Friday.

My last time walking this campus as a student; last time being in Ithaca as a student.

Other than this paper, I am no longer an undergraduate college student. How did that even happen? Everything is currently so finite and final, it's mildly upsetting.



I'm tired of having these lasts. I want to start having my firsts again.




My first post-college internship.

My first real job.

My first real apartment.

My first real paycheck.

My first realistic relationship.

My first real emergency on my own.

My first everything.

My first...life.
