It is the truth. With my weight, with my goals, with my housework; I just get lazy. I work a lot, sometimes 60 hours a week, and by the time I get home I have every excuse written already in my head. I haven’t been able to get on track with an eating or exercise plan. I honestly thought that this blog would help hold me accountable for a lot of the things that had slipped by before. Well, I really need to start making that happen.

1) My GRE/GMAT studying:

I have made some progress on this! I don’t have a date to take the test scheduled yet but once I feel a bit more comfortable with my practise tests (I am horrible at multiple choice) I will set the date. Almost every night I come home and work on flashcards:

I still do not know what I want to back to school for but at least by studying I am on the right track.

2) My weight loss:

This has been the biggest struggle of all. I cannot seem to get a hold on it. I am even starting to annoy myself because it is getting to be pathetic. It is not the dieting or exercising part specifically, it is the lack of motivation. I keep trying new ways to motivate myself. What has kept me going the past week has been a different kind of motivation than I usually try. I bought a piece of clothing too small for me. It is my new goal to fit into that dress.

I would love to have it fit by Christmas. I know that it probably won’t be possible but I think by giving myself a firm deadline and a tangible goal, like fitting in the dress, I just might able to do this. I also am hoping to start an exercise routine soon.

Wish me luck!
