Futuristic
I don't know why I've been negligent of my LJ lately. I think I have too much on my mind, its hard to focus and write about something specific.
I've been thinking about the wedding, I still have some things to book now, like my hairdresser, post ceremony dinner, etc. I had a dream this morning that I didn't have a dress or a person to do my hair on the day before we were getting married. Ugh.
I did so well with my south beach diet at the start of the year. I have totally fallen off the wagon so to speak. I realize I need to eat better or work out. Once I got into phase 2 of south beach I just started binging on the carbs and didn't start working out. So, yeah. I think I am going to change gyms and set some goals that get me up earlier in the morning and in the gym at least walking before work. At least until it is warm enough (and less icy) so I can walk the .9/1 mile to the bus and get some exercise in that way.
My job is driving me nuts. I just feel like we get a lot accomplished but are dysfunctional in our communication and prioritizing such that we will not get to any next level until we actually talk to each other and work together. I think my boss is not super appreciative of me pointing this out to others. But isn't that part of my point?? I am tired of working everything through her...it makes everything more complicated and slower.
A few weeks ago, I went to a workshop about Strengths Quest, an assessment that gives you 5 of your top "strengths" and how to develop them and work with others. One of mine is "futuristic" which is interesting, I'm always looking forward to the next goal, the next step etc. I like to plan things and don't really look back at anything. One of the things that I am supposed to work on is being able to articulate my vision of the future, so as to inspire others, etc. So I suppose I should write more in here, and get some of my thoughts worked out more fully.
Maybe I'll start with more of the strengths quest info, I'm still trying to process it.
