Stating my intentions for Health, School and Work

Well, it's been busy, what with a friend in town and work and stuff. I won't be writing much about food plans so much, perhaps some intentions but I am doing an MC. I haven't done once since early December and I usually do it for 14 days. So MC for now. I intend to be able to eat consciously and create good habits that will help me maintain weight loss better than I have in the past. I keep going back and forth with the same 15 lbs. I guess that is what they call yo-yo dieting? At least it's not a larger number like 50! Yikes! So yeah at this weight I want to go down again. The MC will help but I also thought working the Paul McKenna program was doing some good. I stopped eating mindlessly in front of the TV during evenings at least. I thought that was good but it seemed to backfire into daytime eating again at work. But I'm not going to tackle that now - doing the MC so no eating to worry about! After that, I will continue working on the program.

- I'm *very* grateful that I stopped the evening mindless eating. This felt good.
- I intend to continue that new habit, not eating while watching TV, reading, on the computer, etc.
- I intend to get back on track at work with some habits that work. I think I was tempted to eating Thai food too much! I intend to eat more salads and go back to taking my Miracle Greens once I'm off the MC
- I'm very grateful for the strides in health I've made so far!
- I would love to be able to create new permanent habits after this MC that are better than ever before. I'd like to keep evening habits and to eat more salads for lunch. This would really make for some overall healthy habits I think
- I look forward to the good skin that increased alkalinity has brought me; I will continue with alakaline drinks from time to time
- This MC I hope breaks me a bit from the additional junk I've been eating. While I acknowledge that it is ok to have some foods that I want that are bad so I don't feel deprived and binge, I also enjoy eating salad more often and enjoy how I feel when I'm not eating too many heavy foods. I would love for the result of the MC to be a reconnection with that feeling along with good skinny-person food habits and breaking of the desire to eat things like chocolate which I've had for a while.

I figured today, regardless of doing the MC, I should still continue on stating my intentions for school to remain focused.

- I would love to find a way to bring $100,000 into my life so I can pay for graduate school.
- I intend to have the circumstances needed for graduate school including volunteer work and GPA, etc.
- I currently am a Hospice volunteer and have a very high GPA.
- I intend to now use my volunteer status to get experience in mental health which is my ultimate career goal
- My short-term dream is to go to school full time! That would be so wonderful, would feel so great. I could work part time for some money but really delve into academia and what I want to do!
- My long-term goal is to work in the mental health field and make substantial changes to people's lives and contributions to my workplace.

The third area of stating my intentions is at work. Work has been going very well.

- I'm so grateful that I've been able to assist at work and make valuable contributions of late.
- I'm glad that I've had the mind to be kinder and more patient to co-workers than I was a few months ago.
- I still have some distance to go in how I think about some at work.
- I wish to be kind in how I view people and how I interact with them.
- I wish to do good things for work as I did this last week. :)
- I think it would be great if I were more focused and productive. I'm working on this now but I would really love to have focus enough to make substantial progress where I would like to things moving.
- I wish to see my projects move forward and for myself to have the foresight and wisdom to make good decisions for my company.
