It took a dying friend's words to actually get me to make some changes in my life that I was not satisfied with, but I'm actually going to do it. Lately I've just been all around depressed about pretty much everything and realized I pretty much hate myself. Rather than moping around about it any longer I'm going to fix some things.
I've decided to switch back into a medical course of study. I'm having problems justifying continuing on into criminal justice. Basically both are completly futile career fields, I just feel that medicine would be more rewarding than law enforcement. I'm also pretty much giving up worrying about relationships or anything. I'm going to end the one that I am currently in because it is going nowhere. It's not worth worrying about, even moreso that I am going to kick my ass into gear school-wise (*sigh* goodbye-summer vacation).
My diet. I have HORRIBLE eating habits. I'm eating one extremely unhealthy meal per day and having loads of sugar through excessive eating of candy bars. I need to change this because I have been developing anemia-like symptoms (lethargy, muscle fatigue, general weakness). I've also been gaining a shitload of weight because of everything I've been eating and not really exercising much.
My excercise habits. I'm planning on waking up tomorrow and trying to do a two mile jog, but I suspect it will be cut short because of knee problems (I severely damaged my left knee during a tennis accident a few years ago) until I can build up my leg muscles again. This is where I'm going to be running into problems. I'd like to get a good workout routine set up mainly for fat burning at first, and probably a bit of strength training. I'm just not really sure how I should go about doing this. I took a few weight training classes in high school and even one in college but didn't really learn anything. We basically just went in, did a quick run, then did a set on each of the machines and went home. Twice a week. It was a joke.
Any tips or motivational statements you guys can give me (dietary, exercize, or otherwise) would be greatly appreciated.
