Quick Life Up-Date

So, my apologies to everyone for having been gone for almost two months. The sleep problem got to me pretty badly, and my job was only getting worse and worse. So I quit just before Christmas. Without having anything lined up. That is when you KNOW someone really hates their job! Anyway, God answered my prayers and I was accepted just a week ago into the grad program of my dreams that I have always wanted to study! This is my dream career and I couldn't be happier. Also, I will be going to Australia for my program! I am terribly excited, as it has been 2.5 years since I have been abroad. That is just too long!

So, as I am looking at the transition period that I am going through now, I realize that I will need to use this time to actually ground those things into a permanent routine for myself before things get crazy again. I took a whole month break off from my lower body routine starting at the beginning of December because of all the snow storms I got out my way. I was finally able to start back up again last week, which was a little difficult to actually get myself to the gym and just do it. Getting out of routines is so costly for me... it throws me off so terribly! As for my waist routine: I have not done that at all past the first week I did it, so I was never able to make it successfully part of my weekly routine. SHAME ON ME. I hope to resume it and make it a successful part of my weekly routine sometime in the next month. And my upper body routine? Forget it. I was not ever able to pick them up again because of my sleeping problems. And I have noticed the decrease in tone and that "taut" look in my upper body, as well as my cleavage illusion. I do miss it, but my priorities at the moment are to get my lower body back into full swing and to trim down my waistline as I have been wanting to do for a while now. It would be great to have everything back into full swing, but I am not going to place any money on it because of this sleep problem that still persists.

Therefore, these are my goals for this month, in chronological order:
1) Lower body routine back into swing
2) Regulate my doses of my herbs
3) Waist Tucking Routine solidify into weekly routine
4) Resume Upper Body Routine

I will be trying to tackle those goals as I tackle all the paperwork that needs to be finalized in the next month before I make the big move!
