Follow up on my May 4th entry: I'm halfway through my current self-imposed fitness goal, and I'm not doing too good. During the first week I stuck to my exercise and healthy eating regime and lost 1.5 lbs., but the second week I petered out and ended up gaining back 2 lbs. That's the beauty of eating when you feel down, eh? You get depressed, eat sweets and comfort food, gain weight, that makes you more depressed, blah. But anyway, I'm continuing to push forward because I need to succeed with both my short- and long-term goals.
Also, I officially started sending out resumes today in hopes of getting some work! This is a big deal because I've been out of work for six months, and it's a big mental adjustment. Ideally I will get short-term or contract work for a couple of months, and then after Burning Man, I will get a regular full-time job. I am very interested in odd jobs and under-the-table work, so if you hear of anything along those lines, please
let me know!
