I haven’t had many opportunities to blog lately because I have extremely busy on some rather demanding/challenging back-to-back projects lately, but a couple things happened recently that I want to announce…
FIRST: This last Friday (June 19, 2009), I was called into my General Managers office at Magenic and informed that I had been promoted to Principal Consultant. This is something I have been working towards for some time, and I am very excited about the new responsibilities and challenges that will come with this role.
SECOND: Those of you that know me well are aware that I’ve been struggling with my health for some time. My weight tends to fluctuate (more than “just a couple pounds” in either direction) and lately I’ve been feeling like complete hell, partly because of my diabetes and partly because of my weight.
I’m not one to do much of anything in moderation… When I quit sodas, I had to go from a 12-pack a day to none (and stay there for a couple months) before I could “just” have 1 or 2 a day. This is also how I quit drinking (alcohol) a while back. Going cold turkey has never really been an issue for me. I’m gradually rebooting myself and focusing on eliminating a lot of unhealthy habits.
So, anyway, I’ve decided to do the same thing with meat. I don’t know for how long, or if I’ll even switch back once I’m used to being away from it, but I’m going to give it a shot.
