Updates galore …
Got a promotion in February and none of my concerns came true.
Won an “Unsung Hero” award in March where I work (we have a People’s Choice award each year). It’s an honor to be a finalist and to win, but what’s really cool are the homemade trophies each winner receives. The previous winner makes the award for the current winner. I’ll make the award for next year’s winner. My award was made using a toy model of the superhero “Storm” from X-Men and a miniature globe. I had no idea who Storm was so I had to watch the X-Men—it was fun. The trophy is very cool and I’ll post a photo of it when I get around to it.
Lost 10% of my body weight on a low-carb/counting-calories diet (I love my Fitbit!) and I can feel the differnce. I have 30 more pounds to lose. I consume between 1000 and 1350 calories a day. Counting calories isn’t nearly as painful as I thought it would be. In fact, I've become a bit obsessive about it.
Made a new year’s commitment to exercise every day and have stuck to it. Initially, it was murder and I was lucky to make it through one song (five minutes) on my exercise playlist before giving up. I’m now making it through seven songs (appx. 30+ minutes). I will add a song each month, I think.
Please let me know if I’ve put this in the wrong thread.
