Goals......
Well, we had our final weigh-in for "The Biggest Loser" at my mom's house this last Sunday and I WON!!!! We all had kinda forgotten about it and one sister did get pregnant so she was disqualified. :) But I did work hard the last week and lost 6 pounds which was a HUGE triumph for me. It did help that I didn't eat breakfast and was STARVING. My mom and younger sister both lost 2 pounds. But I think I gained about 4 back right after lunch! Either way, it was a good boost for me. Then today, I had a friend stop by work and asked if I'd lost weight because my face looked thinner....YAY!! I don't want this to be the end and I could stand to lose more weight so I'm setting another goal to lose yet another 10 pounds by eating healthier....the exercise thing I've got pretty down pat with running about 5 nights a week, playing softball about 5-6 nights and using the ole Total Gym. So there it is, goal #1.
Goal #2 is that by the end of the summer, I want to feel confident in my ability as a photographer. I've had my Canon 20D for over a year now and although I've learned INSANE amounts of information, I still don't feel that I can take a good picture no matter the lighting. I've ordered 2 books from amazon.com (Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson and John Shaw's Nature Photography Field Guide). I want to be able to take a good picture in any condition. So since the semester has ended here at work (University of Northern CO) and the students have "left the building," I've got lots of time to read up. NO EXCUSES!!!
Goal #3 is to stay out of the drama. This past year, I've been caught in between so many friends and their dramatic lives. I have tried to save marriages, find the source of hateful gossip and so much more. In the end, I somehow usually end up taking the brute of the anger and my attempts to find peace only fuel the fire. So I'm bowing out of it all.
Wish me luck!!! :) HAHA
