Just stuff...
You know, I've never really gotten the hang of blogging. I usually post only when I've got a new podfic done or similar.
Also, I don't think I really post very much about me. That's partly because I'm really a fairly private person, but it's also partly because I think I'm pretty boring. Also, I overthink everything I say and then get annoyed before I get finished and delete everything I've written.
So this is my attempt at posting just general stuff about what's going on in my life.
This has actually been a very big week for me. I've been working on my CMA designation (CMA stands for Certified Management Accountant. Very exciting, I know) and I wrote the comprehensive exam for the foundation phase on Monday and.....I passed! I wasn't excessively worried about it; the exam was challenging but not horrendous. But on the other hand, I hadn't written an exam in something like 12 years, so I was a bit afraid that I just didn't recognize how hard it was. Given that they had to curve the results, it was at least moderately hard. I'm feeling reasonably smug about the fact that I had a very healthy pass even before the curve. Now we start into the application phase, which I am expecting to find much more interesting. Also, given that it is heavy on the group work, probably more frustrating.
Also, as of this week, I have officially lost 75 lbs on my WeightWatchers program (and was ridiculously pleased with the silly little star that I got from the on-line program). That means that I am more than half-way to my goal. I've actually been working on this since mid-January, but - like I said - I don't really share very well. In the interests of full disclosure, I expect to lose approximately 50% of my starting weight by the time I'm done. I also expect it to take another year or year and a half. I actually have a ridiculously involved spreadsheet that outlines the plan in obsessive detail. What weight I expect to be at each week; what my actual weight is each week; all of my interim targets; percent complete; and on, and on, and on.
The one thing that is causing me some grief at the moment is work, but if I start talking about that, I'm likely to get annoyed and delete the whole post, so I'm going to pretend that work doesn't exist. It's still Sunday and I can do that.
Right. That's enough for today I think. Hitting "Post".
