Happy New Year!!!!! I know it's April, but this is my first post of the year hence my greeting. There have been a lot of changes in my life. Many of which have been for the best. Most importantly I have not fallen off the weight loss band wagon. I am currently 104 pounds down, I have had a lot of stumbles, mostly due to stress eating, but I have stayed mostly on track with eating right and working out. I am currently training for the Susan G Komen race for the Cure 5k on May 10th. I try to participate every year by walking it or volunteering, but this year I plan on running the race and I am very excited. I will make sure I write a post about the race.
I moved out of our house last month. We ended up renting the place out since I cannot live with a roommate and I now live on my own in an apartment. I am 31 years old and this is the first time I have lived on my own. A lot of the excitement of having "my own place" is still stirring within me; each time I open the door there is a rush of excitement that overwhelms me and I am loving it. On the flipside, I have to keep reminding myself that I have to make sure I remember that rent is due at a certain time every month and I better not forget. Wouldn't it be ironic if I, who goes after late rent payers for a living, became one of those late rent payers? LOL!
On the travel front, my brother came to visit from Nigeria and I had to travel to Atlanta to see him. It was fun especially since I never go anywhere. I enjoyed myself thoroughly and I am looking forward to taking more trips. Maybe one a year or so, unless someone else is paying for me to take the trip then I could take multiple trips a year :)
In general, I have had a stressful few months, but since life is not always smooth sailing I am learning to roll with the flow without letting the stress derail my plans. All that is left now is for me to start going outside on the weekends. I have registered to be a volunteer for the WABA (Washington Area Bicyclists Association) Hopefully I will not be one of those flaky volunteers who never shows up to anything....
