Wow, it's been a while! I can't believe it's already 2011. What? Where did 2010 go? Oh yeah, that's right, I was in grad school....haha. ALMOST finished...bring on MAY.
Lots of changes have taken place in my life. I've started my new job, which I'm very excited about. It's a lot of work to balance the job and my internship, but so far, I've been able to manage. A new balancing act will take place on Thursday when my classes start. Hopefully all will be well and I won't struggle.
Along with the job comes a new apartment/house search. I dread that aspect, SO badly. I feel like I'm just now getting settled in to my current apartment, and now it'll just be a few more months before I'm packing everything up again. But that's okay. This next move will be much more permanent--at least a few years in one spot. So then, I can actually decorate the way I want to, buy things to make it more like "home." That will be ah-mazing. That's the only part that excites me though. lol. Finding a place that's affordable and convenient is not easy. And then there's the whole actual moving process, which is not fun.
Lastly, the big change in my life right now is my desire to work on losing weight. So far, it's been teeny tiny baby steps...but hey, gotta get there somehow, right? I've gone 8 days now with at least 10 minutes of some form of exercise; most days I do more than that, but as long as I get 10 minutes in, I have accomplished a goal for that day. Once that becomes second nature and manageable, my goal will be 15-20 minutes per day, then 30, and eventually an hour. It may just be walking or it might be Tae Bo or strength training; but 10 minutes a day are devoted to bettering my health. I've also given up soda (2 weeks today!). This has increased my water intake, so hopefully those two changes will force changes in my body over the next few weeks. Then other changes will be implemented, one at a time, so that they're sustainable over time. It's not easy. And it this point, my body is resisting the change--but that's what I want! That means change is actually happening. I think along with the consistency is coming confidence in myself and my body to do more. Which is something I am very thankful for. And something I've been searching for.
And that's the update to my not so exciting life. :) I'm about to head to bed, it's wayyyy past my bedtime! I've been getting in bed by 10 pm most nights here recently, and it's almost 11. Yuck!
