Priorities

Good God I need to get in shape. Like not super bad, but it wouldn’t hurt. I don’t know how to juggle my things though. How the hell do I prioritize things? I want to be academically successful, I want to have a good body, and I want money. Those are the three things I need to prioritize right now. There’s other little aspects in there, but those are the three main categories. Say I’ve had a long day of babysitting, and I want to go out to Panera to eat and do homework. Okay, so I’ve gotten some money babysitting. Check. I want to go do homework and be a good student. Check. But driving there and buying food costs money, so there goes the money part. The food there is not healthy, so that’s gone to hell. All I have left is the fact that I finished my homework. La-dee-fricking-da.

            I know this is a weird thing to be puzzled about, but I’m so serious right now. Eating healthy and working out makes you feel better, but if you’ve had a long day of stressful homework and working, then you’re probably going to want to eat junk food. At least I do, anyway. I know I should just start eating healthier now, but I use to excuse of not having time. I “don’t have time” to make peanut butter toast in the morning, so instead I grab a granola bar, which is not healthy. I could’ve just gotten up five minutes earlier.

            It’s the same way with working out. I say I don’t have time. I’m busy, but instead I use my prescious free time to relax, rest, and watch tv while I could be running instead. I can’t complain about not liking my body if I’m not willing to do anything about it.
