Pretty satisfied with how I did against these:
1. At least 10 min of exercise/meditation per day (health/fitness) > I achieved this 25 out of 31 days.
2. Post a photo a day as a part of The August Break on my Tumblr > I posted pictures 28 of 31 days in August.
3. Read at least 3 of the old Harvard Business Review magazines that are sitting around my cubicle (adultiness) > Done! Felt like a weight off my back.
Health:
Pros: I signed up for the Kansas City Half Marathon and training is going well so far. Looks like the COA girls are planning to do the Wilderness Run in November, too. It will be fun! Con: All the running leaves less time for yoga, which I also enjoy a lot.
Financial:
I've been pondering the idea of getting a new (or new to me) car. It's not urgent; my car is still a rock star. But I'd like to get something a little more convenient. When my mom visits we have to drive her car everywhere because both Josh and I have small two door cars. However, I hate the idea of having a monthly car payment again. I'd like to save up a bit so I have some down payment (my car won't be much of a trade-in) in hopes of maybe getting something next year.
Work:
I've been cranky at work again. Yesterday I had my annual review which reaffirmed that my manager is happy with my performance and that I'm doing things that she thinks add value. I need to focus on the positives (I basically can make my job my own) and spend less time worrying about things that aren't important. I was honest with my manager yesterday and said that there are many pluses to this job and I'm not actively looking for something else, but that if the right opportunity came along I would certainly consider it. She seemed to find that to be a perfectly acceptable response - so I feel more comfortable knowing the door is open for other possibilities.
September Goals
1. Get to at least 4 yoga classes (health/fitness)
2. Write at least 5 blog posts (this one counts!) (adultiness)
