It’s almost time!

I am finally healthy and back to my normal school/work/life balancing act. However, in just under two months I will only have to balance two of those things. I graduate on May 1 and I couldn’t be more excited. Well, I could be more excited if I had a job lined up already, but I’m still pretty excited just to have time off from 3 hour classes and working two jobs. I have just started my job search (I procrastinate…), and hopefully something will come from it. I am so pessimistic about the job market right now, but I have to hope that my experience, connections, and my MSW will put me ahead of the competition a little bit. Even if I don’t snag the best job, I can at least keep in mind that there are always plenty of entry level social work positions available. They don’t pay much but they pay more than not having a job at all, so I have a back-up plan.

In terms of eating healthy, I would give my efforts a 5/10. My overall eating habits have changed. Even if I do eat something unhealthy, I eat a lot less than I used to. I was doing really well with tracking other than Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week. I just got to busy to even type it in, and now I can’t really remember and I don’t want to see the results. I bough some Girl Scout cookies that I’ve been nibbling on, which hasn’t helped. The good thing (or bad, I guess), is that I have been eating cookies instead of meals, instead of in addition too. Good and bad both, I guess.

The (two) most important thing(s) I wanted to write about though is that next week is spring break and what that means is that it is FINALLY warm enough to run outside! I have seriously been going crazy waiting for this. It made it into the 40s today, so no matter what I am going to put on my sneakers and run. The ability to run outside is conversely related to my ability to make up excuses for not working out because I don’t want to catch a bus or the gym doesn’t fit into my schedule. Now I’m actually going to exercise and lose weight.
