Who Woulda Thunk it!

I started listing some goals.
Some big, some little.
Some new, some old.
I was going to do 100, but then decided to go with the 43 Things concept instead.
I'd been thinking about them for a while -- and acting on them, in fact.
But I didn't expect to achieve two of them this week!

In fairness, I did expect to achieve one this week. I knew I was starting a new job, but it had been a goal for many months so I deserved to include it.  After all, it's my blog, my list, my rules!

But I didn't expect to lose the first 10 pounds so quickly!  Oh I'm not complaining, and it's awfully encouraging!  I just need to keep up the efforts.
I'm far from my final goal -- but how nice to be at the first milestone!

The new job is good.  Lots of things to do!  But I can do them, I just need to get myself up to speed as quickly as possible.  Of course, I have higher expectations of myself than anyone else does -- that's how I am.

In other news, it looks like I have a stress fracture in my foot.  LOVELY!  Here's hoping the bone scan confirms that just stabilizing it a few weeks will allow it to heal.  I don't have time for surgery, walking on crutches would be nearly impossible for me, so let's hope the stabilization boot is sufficient!  But this too shall pass, and I'm not going to let it ruin my attitude.

After all, I'm 10 pounds lighter these days!
