Anita thank you so much. you are so, so right. the thing with falling is that everyone knows I'm a klutz anyway... one of my first weeks at work I was going to get on the bus, talking to a colleague when suddenly I dropped out of her sight - bam,tripped over myself and on the ground. I make jokes about it, but honestly, I'm so tired of being klutzy and I KNOW it's because I have way too many other things on my mind and I don't concentrate well. I need to chill out.
So, I told everyone that I fell down the stairs and the FIRST thing they ask is "Were you drunk?" Ha! If only! At least then I would have DESERVED it and without sympathy.
I have to go back to planning, it really is the ONLY way.
Thanks a lot for reminding me why I come back here!
Michelle - I really try not to give myself time limits (or age) but I think it's more of a denial thing. I won't go into it (because I try very hard to stay in the present) but there are just so many things that I reflect on now that I know I could have made better choices and decisions on. But, OK, I didn't, so here I am and I have to make the best of this life that I have!
Good for you for your jog! I aspire to do this as well! I was just talking to Ron about starting walking working up to jogging together when I was away about a month ago in London (he joined me for the weekend). With this ankle, that's on the back burner for now... but it's in my mind!
Ghost - I hear you on the treadmill and elliptical avoidance, though I'm sorry you had surgery. I mean, jeez, and I complain about my ankle
Hang in there!
Great goal for September and I will definitely say a few chants (but refrain from dancing to the job gods at this point, in case of further injury) for a new job for you!!
Did you figure out if you have a UTI or not yet?
and about the job... hahaha, better make a donation just in case!
totally curious which shipping company... but you don't have to tell me... it's just that I worked in logistics about half of my working life!
Missy - no way!!! Happy Birthday to you!!!!!
I love finding out I have birthday sisters!!!
I have definitely been thinking about a new list. More like setting some goals for myself. Really, I never have had any goals or dreams except what I have already accomplished (learn a second language, live in another country, travel). I kept in denial all along the way things like being financially responsible, deciding if I wanted kids, settling down a bit, etc., ok, ok, nothing too super conventional, but I guess I'm just scared now of what's going to happen to me when I am at retirement age... anyway, I digress! Too much thinking!!
Did I tell you guys yesterday? Stayed on my plan and was 20 for 20 points so perfectly within program. Today is no exception - there's even birthday cake and B&J's ice cream in the fridge and you know what... I don't even WANT it!
