May Resolutions - Update

1. Lose weight each week. 
After this month I'm down another 5.4 pounds.  At my work we had a Biggest Loser competition for the month of May.  Yesterday was our final weigh-in and I WON!!!  I was so excited and I got $200 in prize money... I can definitely put that to good use!

And here are my miles for the month: 17.79 elliptical, 2.01 biking, 33.42 walking/running.
 

2. Take a picture every day. 

I'm not exactly sure how to get all the captions of these pictures on here without making this a short novel for you all to read.  But at least here are my pictures from May, just about as random as they could be.  You can follow me on Instagram though... @nataliedahl1

 

 

3. Attend the temple at least once.
I went with my YSA group to the Oakland temple on May 3.  It was rainy but beautiful!

4. Read one book, listen to one audiobook.
Ok, so the book goal didn't go so great this month.  I don't know exactly why I chose it, but I downloaded the audiobook of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Set Grahame-Smith out of curiosity after seeing the movie preview.  I'm really not even in to vampire stories and this was pretty graphic (what I read of it).  Luckily, the 2nd half of the book wouldn't download, so I never finished it... amd I'm not too sad about it!
 

I also read a little more of Little Bee by Chris Cleave, but haven't finished it yet.  Hopefully this summer I'll finish! 

5. Figure out my job for next year.
I am very excited that I got a job in Utah for next school year!  I'll be moving back the second week in June and I've looking forward to a great summer.  I'm still waiting on more details about my job, but I know for sure I at least have a job, and that's what matters!
 
6. Get my passport. 
Got it!  Although I haven't seen it yet... it was sent to my parents' house in Utah.  But I've already got my first trip to Mexico lined up for this summer.  I'm going to put this passport to good use!
