Summer's coming to an end

Aug 23, 2013 15:57

Hard to believe summer is over or almost over.  Schools started this week around here.  I actually got to enjoy some of summer this year, though...I'm down to one job! :-)  No more retail for me!  It's awesome having weekends off, being able to sleep in and do whatever I want or need to do.  Hopefully my finances will allow me continue having just one job!

My goal for the summer was to lose a little weight (5-10 lbs) and/or tone up my body.  I've worked out a few times, more than in the past so that is a little progress.  I have been maintaining my weight, which is also progress.  Considering over the last year or two I'd been slowly but steadily gaining about 10 pounds...I'll definitely take maintaining!  I've been cooking more meals at home since I've been home more, which is good.  Not that they're always healthy meals, but it's another step in the right direction.  I've also been eating quite a bit of fruit, one of my favorite things about summer!  Work kills, though...quite a bit of stress there, and I find more comfort in chocolate than healthy snacks.

I've been wanting to get a dog lately.  Something smaller, hypo-allergenic and non-shedding.  So hopefully, sometime in the near future, I'll actually be able to get one.  The BF doesn't really talk about the idea of it happening, which is a problem.  I also need to get the house a little more picked up, and make sure I can afford it too.
