Upgrade/Downgrade

Hey funny bunnies.

Upgrade:

• Got a haircut today!
• Went to the gym for the first time in a while.
• Went grocery shopping and stocked up on healthy foods
• Talked to my good friend Gina today
• Helped a bit with cooking dinner
• I'm sticking with the 100 push ups and I'm doing them right now, writing during my breaks

Downgrade:

• Everything on my upgrade list was on my list to do 3 days ago.
• I'm supposed to leave for DC/Baltimore tomorrow and I'm still awake.
• I don't even know how to get there.
• I haven't written on my journal in 3 days.
• I locked myself out of my car and my brother had to come unlock it for me on his birthday

Even with those few downgrades, today was a pretty good success.  I actually like cooking, and I 'm upset that I've sort of let it go by the wayside.  I put my friend Gina on upgrades because I don't like feeling so disconnected from my friends, so I chalk it up to good mental health when we chat.

Goals for later: Lots of reading, and a JOBROS concert with Ayesha tomorrow!

Upgrade/Downgrade

Hey peeps - 

Upgrade:

• Scanned pictures of my parents' wedding today.
• Watched a Netflix movie, breaking my expensive streak of leaving them on my nightstand.
• Mapped out my entire day tomorrow so I'll be all upgrades and no downgrades.

Downgrade:

• Totally ignored the pushup challenge until just now, even though I'm reminded at work every day.
• Ate like four slices of pizza after work after I decided I was done eating for the day.
• Ignored this blog until just now.
• Stole a packet of sour patch kids from my brother.  Delicious, but wrong.
• Already broke my plan for tomorrow by staying up past midnight.

I think we can chalk this one up to failure.

Upgrade/Downgrade

If there is one thing I learned in college, it's that I can improve.  No matter where I am in my life, I'll never be one to say that I am done.
That's not to say I'm dissatisfied with who I am.  It's just that I think I can always do better.


If there is another thing I learned in college, it's that I am a lazy-ass who will get out of anything if I can get away with it.  So if I'm going to set myself on the road to self-improvement, I need to foolproof it.  So I've decided to publicize my successes and shortcomings in short periodic posts called Upgrade/Downgrade, in honor of VH1's Best Week Ever (obviously).

Here goes:

Upgrade

• I cleaned out my car today - vacuumed, too.
• Found my ipod shuffle
• Started the 100-pushup challenge that my friends at work decided we should all do.
• Actually started content on this blog.

Downgrade

• I ate fast food twice today.
• Wasted time on the internet until 1:00pm
• Didn't go out today.
• I played a mean trick on Ayesha.

It'll take a while to figure out what's Upgrade/Downgrade worthy.  We'll see how this plays out.
