Three months into the new year and I feel like there have been SO many changes! I cut processed sugar out of my life and recently started running again (with the help of From couch to 5K) and I'm down almost 20 lbs. I even exercised on vacation, WHHHHAAAATTT??? Haywards Ice Cream is back open for the season so I'll have to keep my butt out of there! I wasn't going to start running again since my knees of a 90 year old keep giving out...I figured out why though. I kept trying to start running the way I used to, like 5 miles, hello you are not 25 or even 28 anymore! So I started the couch to 5K regiment. It's a work up to 3.2 miles. So somewhere in between May and October I'll get a 5K in. Anyone wanna run with me? Anyone?
I gave up alcohol for lent. I didn't think I'd miss it, I kinda do. My pedicure was not the same yesterday with just water, but I'll get through it. Ironically, not being Catholic anymore I still give up something every year, damn Catholic college!! I also took off my acrylic nails. I have had nails on for 7 years! I went with a gelish manicure, which should last 3 weeks. I can't give up getting manicures but this should save be $40 a month! YAY!
Starting tomorrow I go back to work full time at my old building...it's bittersweet. I love my peeps over in Merrimack but I'm very loyal to Vic, he took a chance on me 4 years ago and brought me on with only a recommendation from a former co-worker. Speaking of work, I can't believe I've been there 4 years now. I'm still working on my Master's degree. Some days I don't want to do it anymore, but I know it'll help me continue in my career.
I started keeping a spreadsheet for my finances too, BIG CHANGE! I'm pretty sure last year the bank was going to cancel my account, I had no accountability and was spending WAY too much money. I'm a spreadsheet freak now. But I ALWAYS have money in my account now and I've been paying my credit cards off one by one. Then I'll turn to building my savings account back up.
Oh I also turned 34, crap almost mid 30's...Great birthday weekend, lots of friends, laughs and groping country singer...What? Some things never change!
