Good afternoon ya'll!
I have finally started riding our recumbent bike and walking. I was inspired by Clare over at The Catholic Young Woman to take the Walk to Rivendell and Beyond challenge...thing. Basically you are tracking your progress and comparing it to the Hobbits journey. For me it works as a motivator because if I am only focused on the weight loss I lose my interest because it takes more time and I lose patience. However, walking in the footsteps (metaphorically speaking) of the Hobbits from LOTR...how awesome is that?! So much easier to be motivated as I see myself getting closer to Rivendell! I started last Monday and I am currently at 7.3 miles. Not much, but the journey of a thousand miles begins with the first step, right?
What else....hmm....oh! I spent a lot of money on some much needed clothing! Yeah. As my sister can tell you I don't have a lot of clothes (at least ones that I am not embarrassed to wear), so even thought it was money that I felt guilty spending (I am not a shopper and whenever I buy something for myself I feel guilt) it was a necessary investment. What stinks is that I still need more essentials! Oy.
I have an opportunity to intern at a community based/focused foundation which has awesome pay. It would be for the fall semester, but I haven't heard anything from them so I don't know if it is going to work out. God's will be done!
Getting ready for the fall semester. I have most of my textbooks bought, going to Walmart for school supplies this week, finally have a real desk which I have fixed up and love it (I should post a picture of it some time), and I have my classes and schedule set.
Exciting things to look forward to! God is good. :)
Have a blessed week!
