Since we only have 3 months left in 2009 I figured I should finally assess my 2009 Goals and see how many I still need to work on. Here are the goals I posted in January & how they are coming along:
1. Run a marathon (and 2 half marathons) *Full marathon done, 1 half marathon done, the other will be done this weekend!
2. Spend some “date time” with Matt every week *Did that okay until I moved 🙁
3. Get a new job that I love by March and apply to grad school *Got a new job in July, applied to grad school, but that is still pending (will discuss later).
4. Be Nice *Fuck that. Just kidding, I am working on this everyday 🙂
5. Go to church and build stronger relationship with God *I am still looking for a church around here, but still praying too.
6. Only eat when my body is hungry – STOP (casual/mindless/habit) SNACKING *This is the killer resolution! I am getting a lot better at it and expect to have it stopped by December completely.
7. Eat a healthy breakfast, lunch, 1 snack and dinner *This one went out the window for Intuitive Eating, which is working better for me.
8. Love my body (appreciate how I look and be positive) *Made a lot of progress on this one too.
9. Don’t stress!!!!! ( I added the exclamation points for irony) *With a wedding and a cross country move I think I should be allowed to stress, a lot. Now I need to let it go again.
10. Tell everyone in my life nice things regularly *You are my favorite blog reader. (See I did it there.)
11. Dress cute all the time (okay, as much as possible) *I am dressing nicer for work. I used to “save” my nice clothes for a special day.
Now on to today…
Run: I did 6 miles easy pace this morning. It was COLD out! I need to get some cold weather running gear ASAP.
When I got back I finally was cold enough for hot oats! And I had a jar waiting for me 🙂
I made oats in a jar with naner, topped with raisins, cereal and a crushed up Nature Valley bar. Good stuff! I ate it on the way to work (Ben drove) and was wondering if people thought I was eating a jar of almond butter for breakfast?! Ha. 
Tonight we have plans to meet up with friends at Chick-fil-A for dinner. My friend, Kristin’s husband’s work is doing a fundraiser there tonight (did you follow that?). Anyways, I am excited to visit with them again, but I don’t eat chicken so I may have to pack a sammie/pick something up to go with Chick-fil-A’s delicious waffle fries 🙂
Those are some great goals to have. It is very cold in the mornings now…this morning I was freezing on my run b/c I wore shorts and a t-shirt w/o knowing how cold it really was!
Got it! I was searching in my Reader, and couldn’t find the new feed. You are officially updated!
Keep in mind that checking in with yourself on your progress also counts as working towards the goals. I think you’re doing great!
You have done a great job on those goals, be proud!

I still can’t get your feed in my Google Reader! I’ve resubscribed, and it keeps going back to September 23. Am I a moron?
Waffle fries=amazingness!
