Mid February - Personal Update

Valentine's Day is fastly approaching which makes me realize 2 things:
1. Its been a month and a half since my new years resolution to get more organized and I've barely scraped the surface, and
2. I'm getting married in less than a month! Holy bob hope, thats crazy.

Since snow has staved off any motivation to leave the house (and train for my upcoming marathon) I've been left to dissect those two points I just made.

Which brings me to today - I have made a list of all the things I wish to accomplish and have very slowly started crossing them off. First up, Organize my office which was #4 on my list of resolutions for 2010. And believe it or not, I can actually see the ground! Maybe if it actually gets nice enough to broadcast, pictures of the progress might follow.

Another thing that very quickly dissipated was resolution #1 in which I was to create something everyday. Hopefully, I can get this back on track and really start posting things as they come.

Now on point number 2...matrimony.
My goal was to lose weight for this beach wedding. I also wanted to set a PR for the marathon this year (resolution #2). I thought that the two of these things together would motivate me enough to succeed in both, however the snow has stymied any real progress. Today, however, with my new found fire steadily burning my butt to get up and do something, I actually woke up early and went to the Y!

other resolutions currently getting some action:
#3 - start a garden. - you will be happy to know that I have started some seedlings in a mini greenhouse and it is currently residing in my dining room. I also got a composter for christmas and am starting to obsess. Can someone really be that crazy over a Composter? I found out the answer is YES.

#6 - Read more. - currently reading A Walk Across America, so far...its very good.

#8 - Get a bike. - just started a bike fund. It now holds one-hundred smackers. :)

That is all for now. Have a fabulous day!
