Today I decided I have to set a plan of action to make the changes that I keep talking about in my life but that somehow keep getting delayed or amended. You see, I graduated college 3 years ago at the lovely age of 22. I thought a degree in Finance would grant me a life of success and that's about as far as my thought process went. And here I am, working at a lucrative private equity firm, making more money than most my peers- not enjoying the career side of my life at all. How was I supposed to know what I wanted to do with my life straight out of high school, with no real life experience? Enough said there. Now that I have the most amazing man a girl could ask for, I see the life that I want. It involves a family, a humble abode, and amazing life experiences. Cliche as it is, I want to make a difference in this world, I want to be the best mom and wife a woman can be, and I want to see as much as I can see in this lifetime. Oh and I also want to get fit by this summer....so I have a strict new regime that I need to stick to and for some reason I think a blog may be a way to help me do that. Not that I think a single human other than myself or possibly a loved one that I force this upon will read this but JUST in case one does, maybe, just maybe- that will move me along this path. So, for the next few months, at least until I take the CSET in May, I am forcing myself to adhere to this schedule, of course with some room for unavoidable changes:
Sun: Church, Mom time, chores, gym, coffee with a friend perhaps, study
Mon/Wed: Gym 5:15 AM, work 7:30 AM-5:45 PM, refresher class 6:25-7:45, study 8-9
Tues: Gym 5:15 AM, work 7:30-6, Volunteer 6:30-8, LOST with my bestie!
Thurs: Gym 5:15 AM, work 7:30-5:45 PM,
Fri: Gym 5:15 AM, work 7:30- 6 PM, Gym, Dinner with my man...relax :)
Sat: the one day my man and I have fully cooperative schedules, so this is our day to go running and study together.... do our groceries....spend time with our friends or families
No, most of this does not sound fun but it is doable and quite possibly the only way that I can work enough hours to make my employer happy AND work on my fitness AND study. If I slack on any of these things any longer, I think I may have a quarter-life crisis.
