The Return of the Jedi

Hey everyone, here's the "promised update"--so don't say I never deliver. Yesterday I decided I would do some things differently day to day in order to have more of a "balanced" life. So, I decided to use Sami's idea of 30/60/90. This involves setting goals for the one, two, and three month mark from now, and working toward them.

Additionally, I said I would like to do something to nourish mind, body, and spirit every day. There's nothing strict I feel the need to do, as long as they get included. However, I do want to read a little bit each day. Now, on to the goals:

Within 30 days:
Recreate my online "identity" (update social networking, etc)
Gain 3 pounds of "muscle"
Jog a mile consistently
Don't eat any fast food
Don't buy anything from work (on break, etc)
Eat oatmeal daily, increase water uptake, multivitamin
Gain first certification (NET+) MORE
Write my first C program
Finish half of Les Miserables MORE
Take a warlock (in WoW) from level 0 - 20 MORE LATER

Within 60 days:
Graduate with associate's degree
Gain 6 pounds of "muscle"
Jog a sub-8 minute mile
Finish Les Miserables
Warlock to level 30+
Submit poems to two publishers
Repair old xbox
Have at least one investment
Ensure university plans are all set for fall MORE

Within 90 days:
Get certified (A+)
Jog 1 mile sub-seven minutes, two miles consistent
Finish one other book
Gain 10 pounds
Warlock to 40+
Have saved $1000
Accomplish work on novel



Finally, for days I have school or work, I would like to have a more established schedule, so I'm going to try and be in bed at 11:30 PM, and wake up at 7:30 AM. The waking up time is more rigid in my eyes, because sometimes you are more tired than others for bed, etc.

I will edit this post periodically to show my status, or post other entries to make mention of my progress.
