Dec 302010

I think I’m getting sick.

For the past couple days I’ve felt run down, and all around crappy.  I don’t know what it is, but it sucks.

And to add insult to injury, I don’t know how or what I did, but my upper back and neck are killing me!  It hurts when I try to look up or too far to the left or right.  I’m guessing I slept weird, and then did something (?) to exacerbate it this afternoon…but it also sucks.

Further insult?  I am SOOOOOO close to beating Sonic the Hedgehog 4…and I keep dying right at the end…RIGHT AT THE END, I SAY!  It, too, sucks.

Dr. Robotnik

So yeah, f*ck you, Robotnik!

I’m done whining…for now (dum dum dummmmmmmm)

Resolutions Review

Dec 282010

Last year, just like nearly everyone else on the planet, I made resolutions for myself for 2010.

Most people usually don’t stick with them, and in a lot of cases don’t even remember them.

Luckily (?) for me, I have documentation in the form of a blog post…so YAY (?) for that!

So how did I do this year, resolution wise?

  • Make $50,000 in 2010.  No….but I did get SUPER close.  With my overtime used up for the month I am going to fall short on this goal, but only by a few hundred bucks.  I can deal with that.  This kind of makes me realize just how dependent I am on overtime though…I either need a better paying job or change some living habits, I think!
  • Buy a car.   No dice…and now I don’t even have a car at all!  The towing company came by to pick up my van, which I donated to charity.  I’m saving money though, and will hopefully by a new ride by Febuary or March.
  • Continue with school.  I’m still in school…so I guess that was a success.  I will be on academic probation for this upcoming semester, because I didn’t finish enough of my courseload, but I’m confident I can make it up. 
  • Lose 100 pounds total.  UBER FAIL!  I’m not even close!  I’m still hoping/expecting to have some loss to report for December though, stay tuned!
  • Achieve 15% body fat (or less).   Again, super UBER FAIL!
  • Run a marathon, a half-marathon, and at least two additional road races.  So yeah, I didn’t run a marathon, BUT…I do have two 5ks and a half marathon under my belt, so I’m glad to have mostly achieved this goal.

All in all, some successes, some failures, and some pretty close calls.  2010 had a lot more downs than I would have liked, but I’ve lived, I’ve learned, and hopefully I’ll go into 2011 much stronger. 

2011 Resolutions

Yeah, I’ll have ‘em. Do I know what they are yet? Nope!  I don’t need to wait until 2011 to live better, but there are definitely some things I want to do better in the new year.

How did you do with your resolutions? Do you have any for the new year?

Christmas Recap

Dec 272010

I had a pretty awesome Christmas, I must say.

It snowed…a little bit…but it still snowed.  We were supposed to get some gargantuan storm yesterday but it turned out to be a dusting…but it DID snow on Christmas. White Christmas FTW!

I made out pretty good, and I got quite a bit of the stuff that was on my wishlist!  I got two Wii games (Epic Mickey and Sonic Colors), the Wii Classic Controllers, Baking Sheets (YAY!) and Money…some of which I used to buy a dresser, so WooT for that.  I’m setting aside the rest of the money for now until the car situation resolves itself.  My uncle says he might be able to fix up something for me, and my says I might be able to haer her old Sunfire (which needs a new transmission) but if none of that pans out I’m going to save up the cash and buy an inexpensive used car. 

I also saw quite a bit of family, which was cool.  Christmas Eve was spent with my stepdads family, and Christmas Day was spent at my my parents and siblings, as well as my Aunt and Uncle and some of my Grandparents. 

I don’t go back to work until tomorrow, which is great…but now I’m resolving to clean up the apartment a bit and rearrange my room to account for the dresser.

A towing company is also coming today to pick up my donated van.  In a few short hours I will officially be without a car.  I wish I could say I was sorry to see it go…but…meh.

And as for the thing that plagues most weight loss bloggers…yes…I did eat WAY too much over the weekend, but I am in detox mode today, and am drinking water like it’s going out of style.  With the cleaning and the planned workout after the towing company leaves, I can undo some damage today.

How was your holiday? Did you have a good one?
