So Far, So Good

I know we're only 8 days in but so far, 2014 is going pretty well for me.

Minus the fact that I had to call in sick on 01.02.14, aka the very first work day of the entire year.  I was not pleased.  Fortunately I have an understanding boss but it sucked.

And also minus the fact that I'm currently without a debit card.  That one's kind of a long story.

But aside from that.

Physical Health: I am actually kind of killing it in this area right now.  I'm doing awesome food wise, and I've been consistently at or under my calorie goal almost every day since the first.  And I've only eaten fast food 3 times so far this year!  I know that 5/8 days without fast food isn't terribly impressive but for me it's pretty big.  And like I said, I know we're only 8 days into the year, but I really feel like I can finally do this.  I haven't found the motivation to go to the gym yet this year, though.  It's not that I don't want to work out, because I do, it's that I just literally don't want to go to the gym.  I just don't want to be there.  I don't know why, because I like my gym.  But I am hoping to start doing weekly yoga next week, so we'll see how that goes.

I did work out tonight, though.  A few nights ago Jerbs showed me how I can plug the laptop into the TV, so tonight I did that and found a cardio video on YouTube and just did that.  I felt like an idiot, because I've never been a huge fan of at home workout videos, but it got my heart rate up and that's what's important, right?  It involved a lot of jumping jacks and my legs are not happy with me . . . blech.  But I'm taking it slow and I feel like, in a month, I'll be able to do the whole video.  Little steps.

Mental Health: Is good!  I'm still working on finding a new doctor, and I actually really need to get on it, it's just difficult.  Plus there really aren't many psychiatrists in town who aren't either at the hospital (and don't see private patients), The Guidance Center (which only sees AHCCCS patients), or my old doctor's office.  I did not realize that until I started googling.  So it's going to be a process.  But I've got plenty of medicine and my mood's fine so I'm really not all that worried.

Work: Is awesome.  I'm almost to my one year anniversary and I've started to feel very confident and competent.  I love it.  I honestly feel like I get a little better everyday.  Things are in the process of getting very shaken up but I think we'll all be fine.  (And yes, that was deliberately vague).

So life is just good right now.  I'm happy, I feel healthy, new episodes of Sherlock finally started airing . . . really I can't complain!

I do have more serious things to write about (just kind of need to sort them out kinda stuff) but that's for later.  For the moment I just wanted to share that things are awesome!
