Off to a Good Start

Last time I posted a very large, perhaps daunting to-do list to improve myself during 2012. Well, I can tell you I feel like I'm off to a pretty promising start!

Category 1: Health

• Lose 25 pounds 
• 1/12/12 -- Weighed in at WeightWatchers, lost 2.8 lbs this week
• 1/12/12 -- Met with trainer at 6:30am 
• Consultation revealed I'm not nearly as out of shape as I had anticipated. 
• Workout schedule/plan to come on 1/18/12 at 6:30am
• 1/14/12 -- Went Swimming at Rec Center -- nice and relaxing
• 1/15/12 -- Meal planned and went shopping
• 1/15/12 -- Went Swimming at Rec Center -- family swim, not as relaxing, someone walked off with my padlock from high school, which had best.combination.ever.
• Cooking/Food
• Explore new recipes and cuisines
• Added Chicken Gumbo to my repertiore of WW meals.
• Abbey time
• Watched multiple chick flicks/new releases
• Wrote this blog :) 

Category 2: Happiness

• Make new friends, rekindle old friendships
• Reached out to a friend at WeightWatchers -- planning on having a healthy dinner party together
• Wrote next door neighbor a thank you for holidays goodies
• Sent sympathy card to old boyfriend's family for loss of grandfather. 
• Negative - I tried to reconnect with one of my friends over text (she used to be one of my best texting friends and didn't get much response or interest) -- made me sad.
• Embrace Laramie as our home
• Continue to be active in PEO
• Co-chair for KOT
• Co-hostess for meeting
• Program host after our Grand Canyon adventure

Category 3: Home

• While I didn't do any of the items on my 'to-do' list, I did knock out some serious housekeeping on Saturday.  I also finished washing laundry on Saturday (which never happens), but still have one load left to fold as I write this.  

Category 4: Career

• Didn't really touch on this since my last post as I didn't have much of a week left. 
• This will be more important as February 1 (tax season) approaches. 

Category 5: Miscellaneous

• My social life this weekend was nonexistent, so the camera didn't leave its case, hugging coworkers would probably be frowned upon, and I'm working on leisure reading and not sweating the little stuff...It's only the start of week three...I've got time.
