quick update

I realize why I let this blog go so neglected last year. It's not that my life is unexciting and status quo - that's half of it. The other half is that I don't want to share when my life is not well.

Life is fine, actually, I've just been stressed and not all chirpy and positive. Work is super-busy, although hopefully this Friday's edition, with the Progress tab, will put an end to the madness. I've spent the last two weekends sitting at home sad over missing my boyfriend. Sad but true. I'm usually so wiped by the weekend that I can't bring myself to go out, so I've spent the nights at home relaxing and wishing Matt was here. Long distance is really, really hard.

I'm still making it to the gym three times a week, rain or shine or good day or bad day. I'm proud of myself for that. I'm not eating as well as I should, because it's still instinct for me to indulge in food when I'm stressed and think a snack will make me feel better. I'm packing better lunches and breakfasts, though, and eating better dinners. Just got to watch the in-between grazing.

Finances are still going fine - no overdrafts, yet, and will have a nice chunk in savings at end of the month. It's a start, though it gets hard to make myself update Quicken every day now that the novelty wears off. This is why so many people fail to change or uphold resolutions every year. They're just plain draining, trying to change your habits. Continued consistency is key.
