Work v. Life

So I have come to the realization that I am very successful in my career but I suck at life! There are several reasons I say that lets start off with the positives: I have done well in my 3 years (as of today) with Farmers. I have moved up 3 salary grades and promoted to my current position. My current position (which I love) is a contract position. The position is supposed to last for 12-18 months, I assumed that I would be there for 18 months. I just found out yesterday (through the grapevine) that mine and one other girls contract are going to be extended to 2 years!!! That is the most amazing news that I have had in so long! We must be doing something right and there is no longer (for a while) the added stress of trying to find another position that I might like. So I consider that a successful "career".

Now for the sucking at life part. I say this for many reasons: I had started walking (a lot) and even trying to run to lose weight. I had cut back significantly on calories and felt like I was very motivated I even found myself wanting to exercise which has never happened to me before. Well I ran the first night (not too much) and everything was fine I was feeling pretty good about myself. Then came night two.....I wasn't running that much but I had to stop mid run and tried to run again and my back just wouldn't let me do it. Well needless to say since that night I'm not sure I think it was Tuesday my back has been bad! Not as bad as it was before my treatments but definitely irritated. I even had to resort to taking a pain pill yesterday at work which I haven't taken since I started my treatments. I am hoping that I haven't injured it so much that it won't go back to okay without additional treatments. I am so upset!!! I was working very hard to lose weight and then this stops me. I always say I can't win for losing well that is the truth!

That is all for now I am getting in a negative mood just thinking about it and I must stop. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!!
