Nibbles Of News

• My career--and soon-to-be ex-job--are basically consuming my thoughts these days. So I've started a new blog called PiggyBank Raid. It basically covers everything... my emotions, my thoughts, and my finances! I wanted to chronicle my journey of "crappy corporate job" to "pursuing my own hopes and dreams." I imagine it'll include lots of tidbits about stretching my budget and learning to live on just Hubby's income.

• This hot weather is totally throwing a wrench into workout plans! I love to run outside... but I can't stand the heat! As a result, early morning runs are the best ones for summertime (before the sun starts blazing). Unfortunately, I am a "night owl." Mornings aren't my thing. I gotta start forcing myself to wake up earlier or I'll keep skipping my runs.

• My diet's just been so-so these last few days... I actually felt thinner when I was on vacation! Of course, hormones and water have a lot to do with my belly bloat. But overall, I'm starting to think that working from home is actually a detriment to my diet! I used to think it was a good thing that I could avoid vending machines and take-out lunches... but now I'm starting to think that 24/7 access to my fridge is not all that great for my waistline.
