will work for dessert

Phew! This month is almost over, and let me tell you it’s been a rough January. Just trying to get back into the gym has been a feat in itself. I’m sure as you can read, or should I say from lack of reading- I know I need to post more often, things aren’t quite going as planned on all fronts as I kick this year into gear. Let me give you the run-down.

1)      Exercise or lack there of it- prior to this week, I was only working out once or twice a week. And that makes me sad. As you have read a little about me liking to incorporate exercise into my lifestyle, without it I get sad. Sad, because my body starts taking shape and not in the way I like- round. When I keep up with exercise, for whatever reason I’m able to maintain my portions, which I believe is instrumental in maintaining weight goals. One of the biggest factors in my exercise is to reduce stress from work. Think Legally Blond, Exercise gives you endorphins and endorphins make you happy.

2)      Getting into school- this is a big year for me. I’m planning on quitting my job and going back to school this year. I finally nailed down dates of when school starts about two weeks ago. So along with my New Years resolution of making a new/better budget for myself, I had to think if I quit my job on X month, how much money will I have before I start school. Which as you have read before, I’m going to be starting this whole endeavor with nothing in my pockets, just the eagerness to learn. This is really scary, but I’m going to bite the bullet. Besides budgeting, I have to apply for school. I deal with paperwork everyday at my job, but this is a huge undertaking.

3)      Ducks in a row- Now that it’s the end of the month, I’ve actually been pretty good and diligent about doing things to get all my resolutions in order and keep up with things. Things aren’t really falling behind or slipping through the cracks this year. This is pretty amazing, since I’ve taken on a side project as well. One thing I still have to do is apply for a part-time job in the food service industry. Scary!

With all that being said, I have most of my loose ends tied down and my schedule is back in order. So I promise more frequent posts and I’ll start digging into getting back into school so you can too!
