Do you have a deadline? And is it "real world" ("Oh my God, gotta finish!") or "academic" ("Meh, if it's not ready, I'll finish next semester")?

Academic, Thanks to god.
We're not? *confused look*
Oh man. Let me tell you a story. But first, a spoiler alert: Rob King does not get laid in this story. Ever.
Actually ... that was the whole story.

Sin... I'm a guy. And I'm single. And even with the thing I mentioned in the rant thread... hell yes I'm super horny.
All the time.
Well, except when watching CSI (Miami, NY, whatever). Unless there's bikini shots.
Mmmm... Bikini shots...

You two could totally solve that problem. Or with each other, in which case ladies might pay you.

Uhhh... Yeah, thanks for the advice, Cr... Andr... X.
Also, SJ, some tips:
- Never start "tomorrow".
- Pace yourself. Try to get a little writing done everyday.
- If possible, set aside a definite time when you work for the thesis.
- And most importantly, remember to have fun as well. I ruined last summer by constantly fretting about the thesis.

Amy. Say it. Hell, there's even a link in my sig of a flash sound file. Go on. Saying my name kills bureaucrats in lifetime appointed positions. It gives kitten their magical laser eyes. Etc.
Thanks for the advice! It probably works better than my current strategy of drinking beer, eating chips and hiding under a blanket.

well I do have plans, that I need to pull off this year, or I suppose life will be a lot less...complicated next year. But aside from plan beta and delta, now that stage seven is underway ( What I lovingly call 2010: The Year of Men) I was thinking this might serve better as a stickied thread, unless there was going to be a resolutions subforum?

SIX AND A HALF GODDAMN MINUTES.
That's how long I jogged today without stopping. I jogged a total of 10 minutes out of the the 35 total I was able to do. I started out not being able to go more than 30 seconds at a time. I rock! I made myself a very healthy dinner, and I'm about to go and brush my teeth and use Listerine so I don't do any late night snacking while I study. WOOHOO! It's been a very very good week so far.
Current waist size... not sure yet, exactly, cuz I can't find my tape.

Woohoo! I was bad at lunch but had a responsible breakfast and dinner myself. Good job on the exercise, though, cause you have me beat on that.
That's a good habit to get into.
This week was damned near a total bust. 
I let myself make excuses and not go exercising. HOWEVER! I have someone who has a copy of the WHOLE P90X workout that they are hooking me up with... I figure I will give that a shot.
I have, however, completely cut sodas out of my beverage selection. It has been pretty much exclusively water all week, and (mostly) healthy eating.
When you consider that I tend to grab things I can nom on whilst rushing to calls, that is not such a BAD thing, eh? Eh? *hopeful look*

Yo, Gusto. Sent you a PM about the character portrait. Lemme know if that interests you, and I'll scan some references for you (i.e. doodles).
Send me some reference pics and I'll see if I can find the time. I've got three paintings in various stages of completion and a lot of other crap taking up my time right now BUT WE WILL SEE.

So I found my measuring tape! And as much as it pains me to post this... 34.5 inches. 
Was worse last year, though. So the teeny little goal I've set for myself is to lose an inch of that. Hopefully it'll be more. I think I've finally gotten into a good "groove" with my diet. Found lots of ways to incorporate more veggies, haven't touched any sugary drinks, and exercise had been going well til my foot started hurting. But I can still do other stuff til then...

I want to Max my sit ups in the APFT, that means I have to do 86 in 2 minutes and decrease my run time from 14:45 2mile to 13:30 2mile. I hope everyone is having good luck with their goals!
Modified to make it pertain to my circumstances:nerd:

I know Navy standards are a bit different from Army, but my husband improved his sit ups to 148 in 2 minutes for his PRT about a month ago. He's also the PT coordinator for his command (for now, since he'll be detaching for the new command in about a month or so). If you want, I could get him to pass on some of the ab exercises he's been doing. I know he does a bunch of different core strengthening exercises, like planks and a slow motion bicycle.

My goals for the summers are
1. Lose weight via work out (5 weeks now) and hoping to run at least 5 miles. (I can do 2 miles now and 1 mile daily)
2. Write AT LEAST 3 chapters on the stories I'm working on
3. Work on a webpage that my wife and I are thinking
