I am very excited to start next week and will let you know how it goes.</p> <p>Chris, I think you're exactly right. I wish I *hadn't* let my attitude go when I wasn't working, but I was gearing up for a very long period of unemployment. I'm thrilled and feel *very* lucky that the process moved so quickly with this position. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari%e2%80%99s-goals-rest-day#post-91596 Sun, 06 Sep 2009 17:48:13 +0000 Chris 91596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am so happy for you! I know my whole attitude turned back around when I was offered a new position. Sounds like you know what you want again so no worries there. Congratulations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari%e2%80%99s-goals-rest-day#post-91487 Sat, 05 Sep 2009 12:57:33 +0000 yublocka 91487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow Kari - congratulations!!!!!

As soon as I receive all of the materials and have a chance to review them, it will be official, and I'll probably start next week. I'm absolutely thrilled!</p> <p>Thank you, thank you, thank you for all of the YouLookFab members that chipped in this week with advice and encouragement. (I had no idea that the process would move so quickly this week after having such a lack of responses from applications over the previous month!) I can't tell you how helpful you have all been, and a BIG thank you &#38; virtual hug to Angie for being willing to drive my goal-setting from day-to-day.</p> <p>Although my major goal/worry has been covered, I will still be working at my other goals, which are still important. I'm going to wait a while to set a daily schedule because I want to familiarize myself with the rhythm of a new workplace/job first, but let's say that by October 1 I should be familiar enough to set daily tasks working towards these goals:</p> <p>Be consistently strong and fit<br /> - Complete Couch to 5K conditioning program 3x weekly (There is a 5K run in early October that I want to successfully complete.) If the 5K becomes easy, I'll start the 10K training program.<br /> - Attend one dance event weekly (I do Scottish Country Dance, and this week classes resume after being on break for summer) - starting next weekend with a big weekend retreat!<br /> - Visit the gym at least once a week (for cardio, swim, or fitness classes)<br /> - Track exercise on a calendar to keep me accountable<br /> - To reform my bad eating habits, get back on South Beach Diet plan starting today (I waited until the interview processes were over before I began the first, hardest part.)<br /> - Try cooking one new, healthy recipe per week</p> <p>Maintain a positive outlook about myself and my future (My mood and energy typically plummet with the decreased daylight in winter, and December tends to be the worst time, so I really need to watch out for this one.)<br /> - Exercise 30 minutes 5x weekly to boost endorphins<br /> - Use SAD lamp in mornings when energy starts to go downhill<br /> - Leave the house at least once a day<br /> - Visit at least one friend each week </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari%e2%80%99s-goals-rest-day#post-91223 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 17:19:39 +0000 RoseandJoan 91223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeping fingers and toes crossed that you have good news soon. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari%e2%80%99s-goals-rest-day#post-91195 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:50:44 +0000 Louise 91195@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Enjoy your well earned day off x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kari%e2%80%99s-goals-rest-day#post-91191 Fri, 04 Sep 2009 15:33:55 +0000 Angie 91191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Treat yourself to a goal-free day. You aced two interviews in two days which is just BRILLIANT. Well done, Kari! We are proud of your chutzpa and diligence. You are fab :0)</p> <p>Have a fun day off! </p>
