Goals Update: March

Shame on me for not getting this done.  I had no excuse.  Other than sitting around doing nothing post surgery.

1. GET REGULAR EXERCISE/COMMIT TO THE GYM - Oh, I was excellent at this for the two weeks right before I had surgery.  I had a great routine going.  I would wake up, walk Samson, and then wander over to the gym for about an hour.  I was home well before 11am and still had most of the day to get anything else done that I needed to do.  Then I had surgery.  At my check up last Monday, my doctor told me that it would be about a month until I could get back to the gym - but I think it will be sooner than that.  I have my next check up on Thursday, so hopefully I will be finishing up recovery soon.  I would really like to get back on the gym routine.  When I was going, I stepped on the scale at the gym (those scales are the worst!  Second only to the doctor's office.)  But I had lost about 10 lbs since I weighed myself last - so that was encouraging.  I have been trying hard to watch what I am eating during this time when I cannot get to the gym and have started doing some crunches and stuff that I can in my apartment.

2. DEVELOP THAT CAREER PATH - Well, I am slated to that the CAE certification exam on May 2nd.  Which means, I really have to push the studying for the next three weeks.  I have my flashcards done.  I've reviewed the chapters from one of the books and I hope to really get focused in the next few weeks.  This has been really tough for me because I have been unmotivated to study.  Even though I REALLY want to pass the exam and I know how important it can be for my career path.  Job wise - I've had a couple preliminary phone interviews and one email about a great opportunity.  Unfortunately, that opportunity won't even start interviewing until June/July.  So we'll see.  Every couple of days I job search.

3. BE MORE WILLING TO BE SPUR OF THE MOMENT -  Kind of hard to do without a job and since my surgery.  Nothing really more I can say to that.
