Where did 2010 go?
You can't say I didn't warn anyone of what a terrible blogger I am! It's been over a year since my last update. This year has flown by, I will do my best to recap it as best as I can.
Career in 2010:
In May of this year I complete my Bachelor's degree in Business Management. As proud as that makes me, now I have to figure out what people do with their degree. What the heck I'm gonna do with the rest of my career?
This is me and my sister's best friend, Griselda.
I feel at a crossroads. While my current job is awesome, I have appeared to have outgrown it a bit and everyone here is encouraging me to move on to greener pastures. However I've been applying to various positions and have been getting few call backs. I'm trying to stay patient and positive, but it's hard not to develop a complex that I finished school to suck at life.
But my goal in 2011 is to find the job that's right for me and really work hard to show the world what I can do!
Fitness in 2010:
I am very proud of myself in this department although I don't feel I quite mastered the art of being thinner. I'm still about 50 lbs. away from my dream goal, but I have accomplished the goals I set out for myself last year. I ran (read: completed in some miraculous way) 4 half marathons. 3 of them as part of the "San Diego Triple crown series" that seems like such a "yeah right" type of goal when I set them and the Long Beach half marathon for fun with friends.
This was my completion of the hardest race I've done, the La Jolla Half Marathon.
Training for these marathons has been an amazing experience and has taught me more than anything that I really do love that "exercise pain" of getting in shape. I hate the workouts when I do them... However the acheyness I feel after accomplishing a half marathon makes me feel so happy. There was a quote I saw from a woman who was running the Kona Iron Man, as the camera caught up with her at night completing the marathon part of her triathlon, she said "It feels like death, but this is living!" and that has resonated true with me through all my work this year.
My goals for 2011 finish off those pesky pounds or die trying, focus on my terrible habits such as my lack of breakfast and snacking. I will also be teaching myself how to cook more naturally. I'm gonna do the work and research to eat less processed food.
Love and Life in 2010:
I realize that I don't really discuss my love life much in my blog. Mainly because it's kind of perfect. I know perfection means various thing to different people but to me it means: Yes we are not perfect, we have goals we have not accomplished, but we haven't given up on each other and hopefully never will.
In March of 2011 we will celebrate our Decade as a Couple. This is an exciting time for me because I truly was a love-skeptic. My examples of great marriages were few and far between so to find my soul mate and be able to share adventures with him means more than anyone will ever know.
Some of our adventures in 2010 included:
Our trip to New York to visit my best friend and her boyfriend.
The city was amazing, but so much faster than a California Girl is used to.
We had great fun with our amazing hosts. The fooooood, the fooood!
We even celebrated Halloween with our good friends. Julio had such a great time, we were Sweeney Todd and Mrs. Lovette
A visit to Disneyland which we haven't done in ages. We loved just enjoying each other's company and running a muck all over the park.
Even a career change for him that I am very proud of. I now have a husband I get to spend more quality time with and that is the most I could ask for in this new year.
So cheers to what has been a fun 2010 and another cheers to what should be an even better 2011!
