2011, We Meet.

Because December last year was too hectic I couldn't even find time to sleep, I am (on the 5th year, I must say) declaring my new year's resolution to get seven hours of sleep every night.

Which means I shouldn't be writing now and just shut down the laptop and go to bed. But I just can't. God, I miss writing, and doing it at the speed of thought. But I don't have time for that now. Or maybe I'm just too lazy again. Or probably there's just a lot on my plate for me to handle.

Oh well. First things first.

I am definitely one of those less fortunate people stuck with slow metabolism. And yes, I gained a few extra pounds over the holidays despite all the things I was doing. Stress-eating daw. Oh well. I am trying hard to get back in shape.

I used to do the Dance Revo on the PlayStation to keep in shape. It's fun, not boring and it's made for the young techie generation. Which is why I was able to lose 2 inches of my waistline in 3 weeks before. Now I really need to find time to hook up the console and move stuff around the house so I can play. I need to lose these inches I'm gaining.

Next: eating habits. I have poor ones. It's way to inhumane that I am now having problems with my digestive system and being the stubborn kid that I am, I refuse to see a doctor to find out what is really wrong. Now I'm starting to turn myself into a picky eater. Picky in a sense that I always read the nutritional content, particularly calories. Not that I always say no to high calorie, high fat, really bad food for me, I just said I always READ. But I try my best to avoid bad stuff. (You can see me mostly in the snacks section of the grocery store reading. And ending up getting chips.) Apparently, I haven't eaten a McDonald'd Cheeseburger and fries in months until last week. I just had to have it because I was craving.

Now that's a start: learning to avoid fast food. =D

Since I'm looking for ways to exercise and eat right, I am now looking for a role model/inspiration/motivation to live healthy. No, I'm not shallow to use a bikini as my inspiration. I'm over that. I want something bigger. That's where I'm stuck. I would usually switch to healthy living because a) I want to fit in this killer outfit; b) I want this guy to notice me; c) my console/exercise equipment is not a piece of art that's for display only; and d) because the doctor told me I need to lose weight.

I want a bigger motivation. I need something to push me. There must be something out there that should tell me I must be living healthy. But I am stuck.

So how do I begin now?
