A Moment's Reflection

All week long I've been planning on blogging about how I'm doing on my New Year's resolutions as we approach the halfway mark, then I discovered I didn't make any which is sad, because I'm not doing half bad. (End grammatically poor run-on sentence.)

So here's how I'm doing on my non-existent New Year's Resolutions

1. New job - Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner. I start my new job in less than a month and this is my first announcement of it on the blog. Back in February, I had a post about something big in the works. This was it. Oddly enough, it was with the same employer, it just took forever to get the interview setup. It's nonprofit work and I get to use my master's degree. The b/f and I move in a month to the new job's city, which is where he's been commuting for months now. Much happiness and progress on this front.

2. Blog/Writing - yeah, no comment.

3. Weight loss - More like weight gain. I am at a new all-time high, something I'm not proud of and have been rather bummed about. Last night, I formulated a plan to kickstart the new era of weight. How many pounds can I leave behind in the month before my move? Tonight I made a grilled chicken wrap with assorted veggies and had a small dish of ice cream with lowfat granola. I've even done 50 crunches this evening. A small start, but when I get to the new digs (which amazingly come with a pool) I plan to step up the exercise.

4. Finances - I'd say I'm breaking even for the year, but considering that I'm still rebuilding after the fire, not bad.
