[.you get out of life what you put into it.]

This is just me rambling, but hey, that's what a blog is for right?

I am deciding to buckle down and achieve my goals.  I will get what I want out of my life.  I have realized that I am somewhat of a perfectionist - which I believe is why I set high expectations for myself.  I set high expectations for my school work, I set high expectations for my job, I set high expectations in my church callings and on my spiritual status, I set high expectations in my relationships and last but not least I set high expectations on my physical self.  I know that there is no such thing as perfect, and that is why we are here, but I know that some areas are flexible enough where we can better our selves.  I work hard in school, I work hard to get my job done, I work on my relationship with my Lord and my spouse, I work hard to fulfill my church callings, but I do not work as hard as I could be physically.  Not only do I learn about physical fitness in my major but also about personal wellness and it's components. *physical*emotional*mental*social*spiritual*
For most of these components I feel pretty balanced.  I believe life is all about balance, and I feel the desire to balance it out even more and work on the physical component of my health.

Let's break things down a bit.


Hours in a week: 168
Hours spent sleeping: 48ish (Physical)
Hours getting ready: 7 (Mental)
Hours driving: 7 (Mental/Spiritual/Emotional)
Hours at school: 16 (Mental)
Hours at work: 30 (Definitely not physical..Social/Emotional/Mental?)
Hours at other work: 13 (Social)
Spiritual hours:
(3 at church on Sunday + 2 at YW on Wednesday + 30 min a day (prayers, scriptures, lesson planning...) [30x 7 = 210 hours / 60 min]) = 8.5 (Spiritual) + extra when going to the temple / visiting teachers, etc.
Hours doing homework/studying: 5 (Mental)
Hours with friends and family: 15 (Social/Emotional/Spiritual?)


18.5 hours left - I'm going to turn these hours into exercise (physical), definitely relaxing and hanging out with Lance.

I am getting a professional print out on Saturday to assist me in reaching my goal.  I'll be starting my 12 week program on Monday and hoping to be exercising 6 times a week.
I'll possibly take before an after pictures.
We'll see how this goes.


Today my teacher showed my class this clip from ABC News.
This thoroughly grosses me out!
