2011-2012 Year Goals

Goal #1: 
Revisit these goals monthly, rather than just making the grand gesture of posting them on a blog no one reads and forgetting about them.

Goal #2:
Stay the same weight, or lose weight, or gain weight in order to become sheer f-ing muscle. I'm only okay with gaining weight if the result is me being 100% cut. I mean, as muscular as I can be without looking gross and manly Madonna arms.

Although I have to be honest: I'm a lifelong athlete,  and a lifelong worshiper of blood and pain, what I consider "normal" physically is different from other people. Consider my trajectory so far:

Ballet. I was the only 9-year-old on point. The nurse thought I was starving myself and knowingly mutilating my feet. She was right on both counts.

Running. Blood. Sweat. Tears. Pee. Blisters. Blood. Mud. Scrape. Burn. Ouch. Stress fracture. Stress fracture. Chafing. Repeat.

Boxing. You know how we all loathe getting the "bad jump" on a trampoline, where the timing's all off and it feels like your bones are being shoved together in that big machine that crunches cars at the scrap yard? Boxing is like that ALL the time. But oh is it glorious.

The main idea of the aforementioned digression is this: When I say I want to look as thin as I can and still not look scary, that means to most of you, I will indeed look scary, because I have a skewed perception of normal.

Goal #3: 
Have a social life. Go out once a week AT NIGHT (oh man... did you see how I went there? bet ya didn't think I'd go there but OOOH I went there, booyeah, yeah, I said booyeah). I will not let myself be eaten alive by schoolwork. I will plan smarter, and not for 12 hours at a time, unless it's by choice and far in advance. I will also go out twice a weekend, once during the day and once at night. The definition of "going out" is as follows: All activities that involve a reasonable chance of me meeting people. And while admittedly, I could go out for a run and meet someone, running doesn't count because it's just me and my ipod.

Goal #4:
