30 Days of Truth: Day 29

bathroom scaleSomething you hope to change about yourself. And why.

Let’s start with my weight. I promise I’m not obsessive or anything, I just like it when my clothes fit. I also like when running is easier because the jiggling is under control. By race day on May 7, I hope to be at least 20 pounds lighter than when I started training again in earnest a few weeks ago. So far, so good. By the end of May, however, I hope to have lost 28 pounds. And, yes, I have it to lose.

Next, I’d like to be interested in the news. I think it’d make me a better person or something. But there are two things getting in my way: 1) I can’t get over the fact that no matter where I get the information, I feel I’m being fed a bunch of hooey, and 2) the news is depressing. And this brings me to one more thing I’d like to change.

I’d like to be just a smidge less cynical. I used to be really naive, but I feel like maybe I’ve overcompensated just a tad. Just a notch or two. That’s all.

Your turn. What do you want to change?

    My procrastination…I work better under pressure so I put this off until they need to be done. I guess everyone would be much happier if I finished things straight away.

    I agree with you about the news, its a bit depressing.
    As for me, i made a commitment to be more engaged with my outlook on life, thus a bit more positive, kinda like what you mentioned. I do have my days, ( yesterday) where I had had enough and I kinda wigged out. I am a much happier person when I am focused on the positive side of life.
