A stroll through the blog archives

I accidentally clicked on one of the archive links on my blog sidebar, and I got a kick out of reading through some old posts and comments.  Remember when Vickie was obsessed with her belly? And now she's a wonder woman. Remember when there was a little blogging community that posted lots of comments on everyone's blogs, before we all got feed readers? It's funny to look at posts where I was working on my dissertation or stressed about trying to find a job.  I am a little jealous of former-me, who seems to have been much thinner than current-me and much more on track with food and exercise. That version of me was worried about the "new" Weight Watchers program, which I think was Momentum, and it seemed to be working well.  Also, that me had an at-work meeting, which I always liked better than the ones at Centers.

I found this list of resolutions for 2007 and thought I'd see how many of them I achieved since then:

• Get back to my goal weight in the next couple of months so I can stop paying for Weight Watchers meetings (NO: Did not get to goal weight but am not currently paying for or going to WW meetings)
• Defend my dissertation in May for an August graduation (YES: Well, I defended in October and graduated in December that year, but at least I graduated)
• Find a tenure-track faculty job (YES: I have a full-time faculty job and don't really care that our school doesn't have tenure)
• Find a home where neither my husband or I has more than a 15-minute commute to work (CLOSE: My commute is about 7 minutes and my husband's is closer to 20. But it averages to less than 15 minutes per person)
• Become more centered and at peace with myself (IN PROGRESS)
