I wanted to do a
little update on where we/I are on the “goals” for 2015.
Health
I’m about
10lbs behind on my weight loss. As of today I’m at 227. Something is better
than nothing right? I have consistently tracked my foods on myfitnesspal for
almost 2 months until I came down with this nasty cold. Also, the scale isn’t
everything. I wish I had some before and after pics but I didn’t really plan
that out. Many people at my work have told me how great I look and asked how
much I’ve lost so something’s working right? I have also been going to the onsite
gym during my lunch breaks at work and then trying to also do a workout when I
get home.
I went to an
ENT and got my sinuses taken care of. Basically, it’s a whole bunch of things.
Some of my sinuses grew the wrong way and there is a lot of inflammation from
that and from allergies. Treatment: nasal spray anti-inflammatory and allergy
meds.
I also went
to the podiatrist to have my feet checked out. The top of my right foot has
been hurting for the past 6 months or so and the past 2 months it’s been really
bad. I would feel like it was on fire after taking duke for a walk. After many
tests and x-rays the doc is pretty confident it’s a stress fracture. They are
hard to see and thus hard to diagnose. So as of yesterday I’m in a post-op boot
for then next 2-3 weeks pretty much 24/7 until the pain is completely gone. So
no running/zumba anything of that nature for the next few weeks. Swimming and
cycling here I come!
I was
actively working on my flexibility for a week or two so I need to get back into
that. I’ve only done yoga like once so maybe that’s something else I can do on
my time in the boot.
I did some lifting and now we have a gym membership at KOPFC
and they have some pump classes that
I’m excited to start going to.
Running is
kind of not happening until these foot shenanigans get taken care of.
I think I
have definitely cut down on caffeine and soda. Some days are better than
others. I know for a fact I drink more tea and water and I LOVE IT! I wish I
could dedicate my paychecks to Teavana.
Ha! Oh the life.
I always look
up nutrition facts before we eat out now its just a habit.
We are
getting a lot better at cooking more often at home. Some nights we have what we
call them Harmon’s Dinners because we go to Harmon’s grocery store and pick out
something’s to make and/or eat. We love it! We do that 1-2 times a week.
School
Is going
flipping fantastic! I’m kicking serious butt and taking names ya know
what I mean?! I study practically every day, I’ve got 82% or higher on my
tests. I’m way ahead on my Biology assignments. AND…. It looks
like I will be starting an 18 month BSN program January 2016!!!! YAHOOO!!!!
Personal/Spiritual
I’m so crazy
organized it’s ridiculous.
We are trying
to figure out travel plans. We did go stay at the Homestead over Valentines
weekend and swam in the Crater so that was adventurous.
I haven’t
really learned or improved a new skill or found my spiritual side or finished projects…yet.
I’ve probably
only written in my journal once and haven’t done so well at the pictures
either. (obviously from the lack of pics in this post hahaha)
Finance
Our credit
cards are paid off!!! Thank you tax return!
Now we can
focus on saving and paying off other debts to put ourselves in a good position
to buy a house.
About 2
months in and I definitely think we/I are making some great progress I’m excited for what the year has to
offer!
