New Year, New Goals

Okay, well it's been a really long time since I've posted anything here. I've just been insanely busy lately. 
First off, here are some of the things that has changed since my last post. 

1. I quit the Intern Army. It was taking up a lot of my time and making it hard for me to balance school and work. I miss it, that for sure but I know it was the right choice. I hope that I'll be able to work for the Edge/Corus again but this time in a PAID position. 
2. I got a personal trainer. I was getting really tired of being stuck at the plateau I was at so I had a consultation with Kristin at Goodlife. She's really great and after what was a pretty stressful experience figureing out how I would be able to pay for it, it's mean totally worth it. I've lost a quite a bit more weight but I really see the difference in my strength. Especially in my legs. The problems with my hip and running has basically gone away and I know it's because of the workouts Kristin has put together for me. Now I have a goal of running a 10K in the spring. I'm excited!
3. In order to afford the PT sessions I got a new job. I'm now a Server at the local Kelsey's. I'm liking it a lot and the money is way better then from when I was working at Superstore. Which leads me to my next and most recent change....
4. I quit Superstore! After working there for 8 years it just wasn't working anymore. Between school and my new job it was becoming a balancing act. The final straw was head office decided to start enforcing our minimum availability requirements which would mean that I would have to be available to work all day Saturday and Sunday. Not really something I could do while also being a server. I had my last shift there yesterday. It was kinda sad but at the same time I really wasn't that upset about it because I'm moving on to better things. I will miss the people I worked with but in reality my gym is above the Superstore so I'll still see them on a fairly regular basis. 

Other than that my life still has been pretty normal. I finished off the semester at school with a 89.2% average, putting me in honours which was nice. I'm right now just looking forward to getting back to school and getting back into it. 
I've been working a lot lately between finishing off Superstore and the holidays at Kelsey's and sometimes I've been feeling really overwhelmed. Thinking about getting through school and that this stress is only temporary has been the only thing getting me through this. I just need to keep at it as soon I will be rewarded. Hopefully!

I guess since tonight is New Year's Eve I should put some goals down. I actually just got an email from Kristin saying to do this so this is me doing my homework!

1. Get to goal weight and maintain it. I hope to be at my goal of 125 by St. Patrick's Day, which really is not that far away. My real challenge will be keeping myself there. I would like to think that because I've been doing this as a lifestyle change and the weight has been coming off slowly this should be too hard but the temptation is always there. 
2. Run a 10K and 10mile run. Now that my hip is better I really want to make this happen. And it will happen.
3. Still be at Honours at Humber. This is important to me because this time next year I'll be looking for Co-op placements for the last 6 weeks of my program. Being top in the class will help me get the best internship/placement available, which will hopefully lead to an amazing job post-grad.

That looks like a good list for now. I'm actually pretty excited for 2011 and what it has in store for me. This will be my most successful year yet!
