Q1 Assessment

Mind: C
Body: C+
Spirit: B

Three months into 2008, and I'd give myself passing grades on my mind, body and spirit goals for the year. I haven't challenged my mind much at all over the past three months, but I did obtain a new job and I've learned a lot from scratch about the home loan business. I hadn't worked a 40-hour work week in over a year, so adjusting to the normal schedule again through me for a loop. I haven't sweated every other day, like I set out to, but I have gotten myself out a lot more than years past. I've probably gone for ten more runs than I would have, had I not been thinking about my sweating every other day goal. I was getting in alright shape there for a while, but I hurt my ribs a few weeks ago playing frisbee, so when I lost a few push-up bets last week, I couldn't believe how difficult pushups had become after a few weeks of no pushups. My spirit score is better than the others because I think I've spent my time pretty well. I've had a relaxing and balanced schedule, but I also fought hard for my in-state tuition over the past few weeks. The teaching program has begun, so I'm expecting both the mind and spirit scores to rise, but I really hope to keep getting out and being active on the days I'm not working and going to school.
