I looked at the calendar today and was taken aback when I saw the date…August 30. Wasn’t it just yesterday that we ushered in 2011??? I feel like this year has really passed me by like a blur. Not that it hasn’t been a good year, mind you, it’s just gone by so quickly. In a few days we will be ushering in the -ber months and before we know it, we’ll be sprucing up our homes with indoor halloween decorations, little thanksgiving memorabilia and last but not the least, Christmas trees and all those other holiday treats.

To be fair, this year has allowed me to get to know myself better in many, many ways. Although my biggest frustration in the fact that my weight remains the same, I guess the progress I see in terms of fitness makes up for it and makes me realize I am indeed still battling the bulge with a relative degree of success.

This last stretch of 2011 is bound to be a challenge, diet wise…what with my upcoming thesis defense (hopefully data gathering too) and the upcoming holidays…egaaad….wish me luck.
