ISO: A Major Change

Lately I've been really busy working at both of my jobs and with my summer class.  I've working at least 30 hours a week and have assignments due every Friday.  I feel like I have no social life this summer, but I probably wouldn't have much of one if I was in Iowa either.  I have however, finally made some friends at the movie theater and have been going to movies with them a few times a week. 

There are a lot of things in my life right now that I want to change.  The two major things are that I am for some reason incapable of saving money.  I have this habit of spending money on things that I'll only use once... such as food.  I almost always go grocery shopping after every shift that I have at Hy-Vee.  I'm basically giving them back their money and working for free!  It's a bad habit that I really need to break.  I want to start saving money for a new car.  I think that it is time for me to be in a car that I actually like and want to drive places.  This is difficult when you have poor spending habits, but I'm working on getting a grip on those right now... even if it means I don't get to eat a 4 star meal every night after work.

My second major change is how much food I've been eating lately.  I've always been one of those people that eats when they are bored.  Well I've been majorly bored this summer and this has led to a majorly noticeable weight increase.  I'm not happy with myself right now it really needs to change. 

I'm planning a few changes in my every day life style that will hopefully help me feel better about myself by the end of summer.  These healthy changes will start on June 30th and will continue through the rest of the summer.  I'm going to make sure to share my journey every week, that way I will feel more accountable since I will be living alone for the remainder of the summer starting on July 3rd!

Thank you for listening (and reading) to my rant.  It definitely feels good to express these feelings and concerns that I have been having.  This probably changes the initial dynamic of my blog, but right now I need these changes in my life.
