Jul. 19th, 2013 08:41 amI ran four miles yesterday. I got on the scale today and I’ve lost 10 pounds since the last time I weighed myself. I can’t tell a difference, really, but I love the feeling of finishing a run and pushing my limits and seeing what I can do. I’ve had a bunch of bad runs recently (I need to mention that it is definitely not always easy – the heat nearly killed me on Monday) so having an early morning successful one yesterday carries me forward!
I am making real steps toward my future and I am adopting a “One step at a time” philosophy. I started to see that I can let analyzing becoming paralyzing if I look too far ahead. I start to think I will be too old to actually GET my dream job by the time I’ve put the work in to get the Masters Degree, I think I might have to move in three-five years to GET my dream job and I start to think of reasons why I shouldn’t move forward. Screw that. Move anyway. Get the questions answered as they come instead of trying to answer them before they are asked. And I need to rely less on the opinions and support of the people around me and tap into the wealth of self-sufficiency and belief in my own abilities to move forward. THIS is the approach. Having said that, I’ve applied to a few programs and I’ve had an easier time of it than I thought I would. I am excited, hopeful and focusing on the day-at-a-time with a long-term-goal-in-sight.
Talking about selling my car to a coworker yesterday had me looking up the resale on my car. It’s a good value/trade! And watching![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kishenehn and the adventures of the orange Subaru make me want to get a ‘Ru even MORE now! I am trying to resist pushing to replace my car, especially in light of grad school and you know, responsibilities. But it’s fun to dream.
