Self-improvement

On my quest to a more balanced life, I have decided that I have a missing component. While all women would like to lose weight, I want to merely eat better. In order to achieve this, I am counting calories. In order to maintain a healthy lifestyle and maintain something close to order, I am going to start writing down what I eat. Maybe I will cut down on portions. Who needs 5 chocolates in the afternoon? I know that's not good for me. So, this is my quest.

As an update, I do swim on occasion. It's not as regular as I would like, but I have noticed a change in my mood. I am generally more pleased and feel much better after swimming. It's nice to have something outside of school that does not disappoint. Also, it has ever so slightly helped my back issues.... Not completely, but it has taken away some of the numbness in my toes.

Hopefully, I will gain more patience, understanding, and fortitude through these endeavors. Who knows? Maybe my grades might even improve (but don't hold your breath for that one).
