This past couple of weeks have had me doing a lot of reflecting and but very little action. I finally started a new career. I am working for a great company and can see myself their for a long time. It is a busy day but rewarding.
School is going good, I spoke with my adviser about two weeks ago and if I continue to take the same class work load I should be able to graduate in July; October worst case scenario.
It might be the first goal I actually finish......why do I feel like I just jinxed myself.
On a side note; I just wrapped up another semester this week. I had to turn in a financial analysis this pas week as a final project. A culmination of seven weeks of work, in the end I decided it was as good as it was going to get and was willing to accept that my A may turn into a C, and I was okay with that. Okay well not okay with it, but had decided to live with it. Grade came Monday; I got an A+.
"When will I ever believe in myself or ability?" It is a work-in-progress that will probably never completely happen....
My new job changed my schedule quite a bit. I have had to go back to figuring out how to balance: work, school, gym, and house. I have failed! I started out strong initially getting to the gym (pool) for a workout at least two or three days. Playing team volleyball on Wednesdays, I mean what more can you ask from an almost 40 year-old woman who works and goes to school full time? Slowly over time, up until the last two weeks I haven't been in the pool one time. I did go jog twice; which is not something I care to do but that is it.
While I have not done work the last two weeks I have been doing what I do best: PLANNING IT!
I have signed up for the 15th ANNUAL JMBA TURKEY TROT on November 17th, 2014 I am hoping it will be my first successful completion without stopping in competition. Not trying to win just want to reach my own goal of keeping the jog/run in motion for the full race.
One of the many benefits of my job is a membership to the JMBA recreation and fitness center. I have signed up to take two morning workout classes; I am hoping that since I signed up it will push me to not look at it as "optional".
I have a few more charity races I hope to compete in during November and December but lets take them one at a time and just see how it goes.
Now I must admit I've sat and watched TV all day today, wasted time being lazy and thinking of all things I need to do. But part of what brought me back to this abandoned goal blog was Thursday nights adventure. We went to the Jake Owen concert at The Rave and I received lots of compliments on my style. I guess I finally figured out how I like to wear my hair, make-up, and what my clothes style is. And it felt good, but it would feel so much better if I was just more confident in my body too. So I think its time to get back at it and put some of these goals back to work.
I have 3 1/2 months until I turn 40. I guess that will be the first goal, what can I get done until then. I think the goal will just be to build the routine. That will be a start.
