New Goal

So, I just found this cool journaling prompt on Pinterest and I want to give it a shot. I don't know if I'm going to actually do this every single day. I might just condense it into a weekly thing. Anyway, I'm going to start with January 1 till today and then go from there.

What is your number one goal this year?
Well...I have a few goals that always make the list. Just like the rest of America, I want to lose weight and get healthy this year. But now that I have the motivation and the means to spend a little bit more on healthier food options, I'm going to do this. When it comes to money, why is it that people always become a little more invested in things? idk...anyway. That isn't my number one goal. Well, maybe it is. I left my list at home so I don't remember what actually made the numero uno spot. I'll keep you updated.

What are you most grateful for?
Today, I am most grateful for a warm bedroom to go home to. Especially on cold frigid mornings like this. As I type this, it is -4 degrees. Overall though, I'm grateful for the experiences I've had in the year 2012. Not all of them were good. I don't want a repeat on a few experiences. But I did a lot of self-introspection this past year. I'm hoping it'll bring a bit more focus in my life.

Are you content?
Uhm...right now? Right this very moment? Eh. I'd rather be in bed right now. My tummy is full so I'm content that way. There's so much in my life that I need to figure out before I add another year to my life. I need to find contentment in the present that's for sure.

What is your best memory last year?
One of my favorites is going to Seaside, Oregon in January last year. I had just applied to Goodwill and had an interview set up for that Friday. I had spent the whole month of December kicking myself in the pants for not being more prepared for life to drop out the bottom of my basket. Anyway, my roommates and I went to Seaside to lift our spirits a bit. It was actually not raining and it was actually warm that day. It was a real treat and I eventually got that job at Goodwill. It's definitely a happy memory.

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

A Healthy Start

So, you know when the beginning of the new year rolls around and you recommit yourself to begin a healthier lifestyle and then you kind of crash and burn somewhere around the end of the month? Yeah...I've been there. Like every year of my my twenties. For some reason, the closer I get to turning 32 - yikes! when did that happen??? - the more I think about where I want my life to go, what I want to do, who I want to be...you get the point. Almost a week ago, I started exercising every day with just one rest day a week. Today - Saturday - is my rest day. It also is my sugar day. Anyhow, last Sunday I was sitting in my room perusing Pinterest. I was coming off a graveyard shift sleep the daylight hours away stint and I was bored. I said to myself, "You should do something healthy today. You've slept all day and have energy to burn." Somehow I ended up on this wall exercise chart thing on a friend's board and I thought, I can do this. It's quiet. I won't wake...

Reasons

So, you remember from the last post when I said things were "a-changin'"? Well, they are. I'm moving to Hillsboro, Oregon. ETA: November 1st, but probably November 4th so I can at least finish the pay period instead of leaving in the middle of it. Anyway, here's a quick list of things I bet you didn't know about Hillsboro: *It's near the ghost town of Idiotville, Oregon. Real place. Wiki or google it. *What Draper, Utah is to SLC is exactly what Hillsboro is unto Portland. Almost the same place. *Has AMAZING parks and waterfalls. *All voting is done by mail. Secretly, I'm a little bummed about not getting a "I voted" sticker. Okay, so I could only really think of 4 things that you might not have known about Hillsboro or the surrounding area. Oregon as a state though, is pretty dang fantastic. I'll finally be able to partake in the Goonie-for-the-day festivities in Astoria. While there are many reasons why I'm moving away, the main rea...
