Chasing a Big Kit Kat Bar with Coke (NOT Diet, please!)

This work day is kinda/sorta almost over... I just had my 5-minute pick-me-up from the vending machine, which consisted of a giant Kit Kat bar (they were out of Snickers -- grrrr!), and a can of Coke. I don't know if my body is just over the whole caffeine and chocolate combo or what, but I am still drowsy! I'm about to doze off!

I tried to eat healthily today, but I don't think it quite worked... I even had skim milk with my Pop Tarts (also from the vending machine) this morning, and for lunch, I had a baked potato w/chili, and I even polished off a plate of red grapes at 5:00, but I think they only succeeded in making me hungry, hence my sugar/fat binge later on. What an endless cycle!

Speaking of endless cycles, I haven't yet made my New Year's resolutions. This year, I think I am going to be realistic! We all know I'm not going to go on the Lindsay Lohan diet and suddenly drop 30 pounds, so we'll take it one step at a time... baby steps...

So here goes:

PERSONAL GOALS

1. Find a volunteer activity and organization whose causes I espouse, and join! It's literally been 8 years since I've done any sort of regular, consistent volunteer work. Time for me to stop being so selfish and give back to the community.
2. Take the GMATs; do well enough to get into at least ONE of the b-schools where I am applying. (I'm only askng for one!!)
3. Save enough money for a decent down-payment on a property (or for something!)
4. Stop increasing dress sizes and maintain my current weight.
5. Continue reading and studying about economics, world affairs, and politics.

RELATIONSHIP GOALS

1. Reconnect with old friends; keep in touch with them... be a better penpal, email pal, and a friend who is there for the people that she cares about. I have so many great friends from the past that I don't keep in touch with regularly enough.
2. On the same vein, ditch the fair weather "friends" and those who are too self-centered to care about anyone but themselves. I don't need people who expect me to be there for them, but can't do the same for me.
3. Be a more supportive and encouraging wife - one who helps her husband achieve his goals.
4. Stay connected with the family members who care about me, and show them that I want them in my life.
5. Let go of those who continue to hurt me/do not express interest in having a relationship with me.

I guess that's all!! :o)
