Weigh In 20

by

I’ve decided, for various reasons, to not weigh in today. It seems like the right thing to do.

Today I’m thinking about 2009 and what I hope it will bring. I can’t say that I’m going to start anything on January fifth (because I like starting things on Mondays) because I’ve already started exercising nearly daily, keeping a food diary, and making strides towards being a healthier person overall.

In the beginning of February, I’ll be heading to the Royal Melbourne Women’s Clinic for appointments with a dietician, endocrinologist, and a group meeting for women with PCOS who are trying to lose weight and improve/preserve fertility. I have high hopes for all those appointments.

In 2009 I also mean to get my husband in for a full physical, just to make sure he’s doing okay on all counts.

In May I will celebrate my third wedding anniversary. It’s a milestone one because most couples who get divorced do so within the first two years of marriage. Or so the statistic was when I last read it. And with our third wedding anniversary comes our fourth year of being together in October as well as my third year in Australia (also in October).

In June I will be reinterviewed by immigration and, barring any problems, I will be granted permanent residency. After that, it’s only two years until I can become an Australian citizen.

Yet another October event will be celebrating my third year anniversary of my first post made on my first 451Press site: my ‘baby’ Fiction Scribe. I have grown so much since I made my first post for this network, and I couldn’t be more proud of what I have accomplished.

There are many more events, but I’ll leave it at that. I’m going to skip resolutions for this year and look forward to celebrating how far I’ve come and how far I will go.
