Okay, so the icon doesn't go with the post, but dammit, I wanted to use it.  So there.

Anyway, I've put together my list of resolutions, which probably won't surprise anybody.  But they're important to me.

Primary goals:

1)  Lose weight.  I just spent two years at a job where I sat in front of a computer all day, and came home too tired to really

Good luck with all of those, m'dear!

Have you seen the couch-to-5k program around? I am too fat and lazy for running, but I've seen people on my flist have some success with it!

Thank you!

I've seen icons for the couch-to-5k program, but I have no idea what it is. I'll have to look in to that!

I totally hear you on the "not having experience but wanting to get more into the whole biology thing" thing, as that's precisely where I was before I got my current job. I'm aware that my situation probably isn't indicative of what is normal, but it's nice to say that it is actually possible to get a half decent job with little experience

Sounds like you were lucky enough to find a job where they wanted someone they could train, rather than someone experienced and set in their ways.

It's good to hear that volunteers are appreciated! I'm not sure what scientific volunteering opportunities we have around here, but it definitely sounds worthwhile. It seems to be the only way to get experience around here, at any rate.

And so far, the only weight loss program I can think of that doesn't require me to give up computer time and helps me not to spend money is to just not eat at all. That doesn't work so well for me; I tend to get all murderous when I deny myself food. :)
