I think I need to do an update at some point, so here goes:
- San Diego Comic Con was amazing. It was the best vacation I have ever had. I met some truly amazing people, saw some truly amazing stuff, and really got to know my (truly amazing!) inner child. If anyone has ANY shred of desire to go, and the money to go, I HIGHLY recommend it… even if you don’t like comics. I don’t read comics, other than Mouse Guard, and still had a great time.
- The 5K is on Sunday. Egads, Brain! My first goal was to run the entire thing, but I’m not going to make that. My stretch goal now is to keep up with my dad, and I’m not entirely sure I can do that, because he’s a fast 56-year-old bugger. My goal now is to lace up my running shoes and do my absolute best. This should have been my goal from the beginning!
- Jazz and I started the South Beach (SB) diet on Sunday. He doesn’t really have that much to lose, but I do. My first goal is 20 pounds, and then we’ll see where I go from there. To be my “ideal” weight, I’d need to lose something like 70-80 pounds, but I think as long as I move from obese to overweight, I’ll be happy. For the first two weeks on SB, you don’t eat very many carbs. Breakfast thus far has meant eggy muffincup thingies, and I am SO SICK of eggy muffincup thingies that I feel like punching the next one I see in it’s eggy mouth.
- I’ve been studying for my GMATs, which is equal parts frustrating and completely AWESOME. I’m a nerd, in case you couldn’t tell, and standardized tests are fun for me. But this one is slightly annoying. Why do I need to know how to calculate the volume of a cone when I’m going to BUSINESS school? Don’t they know that MBAs get their peons to do their mathz for them?! ;o)
- Wii Fit has fallen to the wayside for awhile, mostly because I’ve been in San Diego and training for a 5K and starting South Beach and studying for my GMAT… and working, too. But it will come back, just get me through Sunday.
