Jen's Progress Report: Aug 5th

Long time, no post.  I've been on sabbatical, then came back, then got depressed to be back, then felt kind of crappy for a week, then last week felt really good and had a lot going on.  So here I am finally posting as a way to avoid Monday morning at work.

Health:
I think my right to buy pints of Ben & Jerry's needs to be revoked.  Also, common sense dictates that if I were to stop eating crap (ahem, such as large quantities of Ben & Jerry's) my stomach would stop hating me. For a sorta smart person, sometimes I'm really, really dumb.

On the plus side, I think I'm going to do the Kansas City Half Marathon in October.  I started a light week 1 training last week.

Financial:
I went on sabbatical.  I bought a Turkish rug.  Kelly and I bought a case of Italian wine to share.  This was all probably as expensive as it sounds.  As I mentioned before, I had been saving for this trip, so I had the money.  I just hate spending it.  My goal now is to build the savings back up a bit before the end of the year.

Work:
Somewhere between my last post and this one I stopped looking for a different job and resigned myself to stay put for a while.  Then with the sabbatical I came back to work pretty fresh.  I've got a few projects going on now, so I'm keeping busy.

Adultiness:
I can't think of a single thing here.  I spent the day yesterday mostly on the couch being as lazy as possible and eating crap.

August Goals
1.  At least 10 min of exercise/meditation per day  (health/fitness)
2.  Post a photo a day as a part of The August Break on my Tumblr
3.  Read at least 3 of the old Harvard Business Review magazines that are sitting around my cubicle (adultiness)
