1.) Drop 1.5% body fat. (Now that I’ve reached the weight I want, I’m still not happy with certain areas of flab and I think 22% body fat is generous enough. But knowing my body, if I succeed in ridding 1.5% it’ll all come off my boobs. *sigh*)
2.) Go to bed at 9pm. (I expect to be laying there bored and fully awake for hours. And I’ll sorely miss my 11pm “Friends” episode.)
3.) Get up in the mornings at 6am. (That’s only half an hour earlier than I get up now anyway. Plus I’m gonna need the extra half hour as I’ll be driving alone to work for the next couple months and I won’t have the benefit of the carpool lane.)
Goal deadline: end of April, 09.
Cuz, Florida, here I come! =) (Jordan better have already put in for the time off like she said she would.) There’s a 3-hour time difference between CA and FL, and I don’t want my gracious hostess to be all exhausted as I’m still bouncing around going, “Come ON! It’s only 9pm in California! Let’s go DO something!” We expect to run around Disney World, etc. like a couple of crazy people, taking photographic evidence of our antics. Oh, that reminds me:
4.) Stay healthy and uninjured. (Yesterday, my parents came over and played Wii…
and I watched them from my vantage point at the top of the stairs. Occasionally I’d hear an “OW!” from my mom when my dad accidentally punched her during Wii boxing, and he’d say, “Look where you’re standing! You started THERE and now you’re in my space HERE!” So my mom would hop to her right a few steps. And then later I heard shouts of “Shoot Obama! You gotta shoot Obama!” so I went again to investigate. Turned out they were playing a target shooting game against each other and my dad was using an Obama Mii and my mom was Charlie Brown. I thought I’d warn them to keep their voices down before the Secret Service or FBI come blasting in our front door, but first I bent to sit on the top of the stairs, and somehow in bending forward I almost plunged headfirst down the stairs. I saved myself and regained my balance quickly, looked down and saw everyone was too absorbed in the Wii gaming to have noticed me, and retreated back upstairs into the bedroom. =P My hands were tingling from my near-death experience for the next few minutes.)
You said your time off wasn’t approved yet Dorkness.. but I’ll put in for it anyway. Would you be coming in the 27th or 28th? Well since you’re making goals, I should make goals too. I can’t be looking horrible in our crazy photo shoots.
It HASN’T been approved yet, technically, but like I told you, I can’t foresee it not being approved. I picked dates that were open, and I have more than enough time on the books. I’m not sure of my exact arrival day, I’m checking flights.
But the point of our crazy photo shoots IS to look horrible! And crazy! =)
Ahhh work is making us take mandatory Vacations. I have to take April 4-10, July 6-10, and Dec 24-Jan1st.
I’m going to miss Jordana Bobana time in April by just a few weeks!! 🙁
Look on bookingbuddy.com, there you can compare a bunch of different airlines and discount companies. I got my vacation in APril to CO (to see sis #2), then to NC (to see sis #4) all for $314.00. WHAT A DEAL!!! Hope you have a great time and congrats on setting goals! You can do it!!! The hardest one for me would be to go to bed at 9PM.
James – 🙁 But you have the week after July 4th off! I’m only on the WAIT LIST for that week. You can get your Jordana Bobana time in then.
Vanessa – thanks for the tip!
And you’re right, I failed miserably at the 9pm bedtime last nite. I think I finally fell asleep around 11:45p. =P I did wake up at 6am, tho, altho I didn’t get out of bed for another 15 mins. AND…AND…I got to work 35 mins early!!
It’s 9pm. I’m going to bed. I’m a night owl so this is HARD. But it helps when I work the next day.
Your parents are cool.
When are you going to visit J? Ya’ll will have SOOOO much fun!!
Jordan – I don’t think I’ve successfully fallen asleep at 9pm YET, and *I* work the next day!
Flat Coke – My parents are dorks. 🙂
I haven’t booked my tickets yet, but it looks like the last week of April. I expect nothing but insanity on this trip. GOOD insanity, of course. And maybe lots of photos.
