How many of you changed your lives this year?

[Gutcheck2009]

As we come to the close of Q3 of 2009 I'd like to reflect a bit on what has happened.

1) I started making real money again.
2) I drink about 20% of what I used to.
3) I am falling in love with my wife all over again.
4) It looks like our adoption is getting closer.
5) I feel good about myself, and I am loosing weight.

For this first time, in a long time, I am optomistic about the future.

I want all of you to know that no matter how bad things look, there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I swear it. It's there if you work for it.

Grad school.

There may be light at the end of the tunnel, but it's an exceptionally long tunnel.

 

[CRXican]

It took me 3.5 years to get my MBA. It seemed like twice that. Stick with it, it will pay off.

I changed my life, it seems to be for the worse. I'm in search of the ever elusive silver lining, but it has yet to reveal to me anything positive.

I got layed off, I haven't been paying my credit card bills since I don't have money, and my daughter got diabetes. Great year :^S

My life really hasn't changed at all this year. Hopefully, it'll remain so for the next to come.

 

[MAKENITO]

So true - 'no matter how bad things are, they can always get worse'.

I havent done anything I planned to do this year.

Im alone, still not at my pre relationship weight, am now allergic to chapstick () but I'm better than what I was. Thank goodness for that

 

[shortylickens]

I went back to school.

Thats about it.
I never drank.
Never smoked.
No girl.
No job.
No life.

Nope, school is the only thing new.

It does, it really does.

I am compelling evidence that life can sometimes suck.
Good news is I have a little kidney disease to take my mind off all this stuff. But dont worry, the government sends me a big fat hundred dollar check every month to make up for it. Living on easy street now.

 

[JulesMaximus]

Nope. This is basically the same life it was last year.

 

[chin311]

more $
more free time
football is backkkkkk
great gf

i guess this year has been okay

 

[Engineer]

Bah.

 

[SP33Demon]

Lost 6lbs in 5 weeks and learned how to count calories (see Health and Fitness forum).
In a loving relationship that only gets better.
Starting a small business venture with my brother.
Been completing a DIY project each week.
Work has been great.
Rent has stayed the same for two years now.
Phillies won the World Series.

Still a lot left to do though. Want to achieve more certs at work, maybe go back to school part time for another cert to become a lead. Want to start some side businesses for more cash. Saving for a house. Maybe pop out a kid in a couple years.

Have a :beer:

 

[polarmystery]

I moved to Baltimore for a job now realizing it was a mistake...

 

[nageov3t]

sure.

started a new job this year and I'm on track to lose 200 pounds before the end of the year :thumbsup: started the year off weighing 400+ and, as of this morning, am down to 224.

 

[YOyoYOhowsDAjello]

1) Finished my teaching certification program (finished my undergrad)
2) Got my driver's license (and a car)
3) Moved out of the campus area (not above a bar anymore)
4) Moved in with gf
5) Got a job that I'm good at and has great people to work with (and I think what we're doing is a good project)
6) Making more money (enough for me to feel like I can buy a few more toys)
7) Started some crazy contests on ATOT that have succeeded in entertaining me (I'll get back to the weekly challenge eventually, but I have my own rather large DIY project that I'm currently working on)
