THE PROS

Kicked ass at yoga, mostly. I can still be more regular about my practice but I am doing it. I kinda fell off the kettlebell wagon so I've got to get back into doing that regularly. No more zero days.

Meditation is going alright. I think I've hit a plateau of some kind though. I'll see what my teacher says about it next time I see him.

I've actually done way better at tracking my diet, but there are still gaps. It's astonishing to see how fast calories can add up from unsuspecting items. As a result though, when I do indulge I enjoy it more, because I feel like I've earned it. Example, I now weigh less than I did at the beginning of undergrad six years ago. (Holy shit that feels like forever and a half)

THE CONS

Still haven't finished all of my grad school apps. I had a brief period where I was like 'Why am I doing this? Do I really want to do this?' and for a brief period of time I almost convinced myself that I should withdraw the applications. I'm going to go through with them, including my moonshot ones. Because I'm worth it, and because even if I decide that I don't want to go back to school right away, I'd rather have the option to say 'Nah, no thank you' than wonder if I would have gotten in.

I have made some progress with connecting with more organizations that could be professionally valuable in the future. It's hard to know if I'm making the right kind of connections though. As much as I like my fellow researchers, a lot of the people I talk to outside of my own institution aren't decision makers. I probably shouldn't stress about that at this point. I'm making connections not job hunting and while those things are related they aren't identical.

Still need to take all the fun stuff more seriously.
