Wow, my 100th post. And somehow, things haven't changed that much.

I'm still struggling to lose weight. I still haven't made permanent improvements to my housekeeping abilities. I still haven't gotten 100% organized at school.

Pretty sad that in over a year I haven't made that many advances.

Anyway, I need to work on the same things I've been working on.

1) I need to get better at working out. I was especially bad this week, making it to the gym only three times. I really need to finish the chore of losing all the weight I've needed to lose. I'm still hovering just below 180 lbs. I have many reasons to lose the weight. Self-esteem, certainly, is a primary one. But the events of the past few weeks have driven home to me all the issues in my family history that can affect my health (cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, alzheimer's, stroke, diabetes, etc.), and a lot of them can be influenced by obesity. Definitely cause to drop the weight.

2) I need to get one top of the school stuff. Thankfully, I'm almost 100% caught up. I had been doing pretty well, and then I went out of town for a couple days for my mom's surgery. When everything went to hell, I lost an entire week. By the time I got home, I had seven days' worth of homework assignments, plus a test that included an essay, to grade. I literally just reached the official "caught up" point, where the only items I had to grade were items actually turned in today. Hooray. And even better, I only have a week left of classes (since the girls are almost out for the summer). And the week is pretty much all reviewing for the exam, except for a test they'll be taking. So I really don't have many assignments left to grade. I need to get together their study guide and exam, but for the most part it's smooth sailing.

3) I haven't really improved on the state of my house. I'm ashamed to admit it, but I'm still working on washing the dishes that were sitting in the sink the week I headed to Cali for my mom's surgery (and that was back on April 18). Ick. I also need to get onto the laundry, and I really need to vacuum up the dog hair.

Anyway, at least with school ending in a few weeks, I can try to get back into some semblance of shape. And get my house cleaned up. And everything else.

Man, I'm a slacker.
