You know, I was just thinking the other day about how I haven't updated my blog in a while. A link from a friend on Facebook jogged my memory, so here I am.
Though I've regressed in the way of Goal #1 - my sleep nowadays is neither regular nor restful - I still try. Hopefully, it's a side effect of all the ridiculous things I have going on right now, and not something more serious.
Campaign mode has been initiated. Though, unlike 2008, I'm doing a better job of keeping a work-life balance. Also, we're close to closing on the house. I've been saying that it's the house I'm "trying to buy," because FHA has this ridiculous regulation where we have to replace windows that are cracked - even though I'm going to just get new windows when we move in - in order to get the house. So I'm trying to buy the house, but people keep getting in the way!
Everyone asks me about wedding plans, too. Is planning a wedding supposed to be an all-consuming thing that takes up every inch of your life? Unlike some women, I am not of the opinion that my wedding day is the happiest day of my life. Like Fr. Joe said, God forbid it should be my happiest day. I plan on having children, getting a law degree, etc... if none of those days were as happy as or happier than my wedding day, then my priorities would be seriously skewed. Besides, I was not bred to be a housewife - I knew from an early age that I would have a career. I knew it the first time someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
... When I was 8, it was a spy. At 12, an animator for Disney. At 15, a lawyer. See how things change :)
Anyway.
Despite my fails with Goal #1, I have still moved on to Goal #2. I ran yesterday (approx. 1.5 miles) in a run-walk, and discovered a route around my house that doesn't really do much for continuous movement as there are two major roads that run through it. My legs felt like lead, perhaps because on Tuesday I stopped my hiatus on strength training. Strength training again today - I guess we'll see how it goes!
Also I've tried to become more religious about tracking what I eat at www.fatsecret.com. It's a pretty awesome site - I also love the fact that there's an app on my blackberry I can sync info with.
Though if I'm going to become successful in my weight loss goals, I should probably throw out the ice cream in freezer.
... I'll think about it. ;)
And, because I am a major dork, here is a picture for your enjoyment. :D
I don't think it's along the lines of "Wedding planning should occupy your thoughts 24-7" but more along the lines of "It's a big deal, so of course you want to talk about it"
ReplyDeleteYeah, that makes sense - but I haven't been doing anything for it lately (the house is taking up all my time) so it makes me wonder if I'm missing something, lol.
