How did I do for September? Eh.
Goal for September:Don't buy books at the conference, post duplicates on ebay
I did NOT buy any books at the conference. Yay. I posted a lot of duplicates on ebay, but sadly I only sold one book.
Goal for September: Start the training program Jennifer sent me on
Monday the 9th. Stay away from crap food that I binged on all weekend on
vacation! Go to yoga!
I started the training program, then took a break from it before October started (boo). I have stayed away from crap food. (I have?)
Goal for September: Keep the spending minimal- and keep trying to sell things on ebay to have some spending money!
Nope.
Goal for September: Write a list of what I'd like to accomplish. Pick
one project to accomplish each month. Remember this feeling next time I
get frustrated.
I got better- but didn't really do it.
Goal for September: Start a "bucket list" of things I would like to do sometime.
Didn't do it.
But it's October now! Fresh start.
Goal: De-clutter
Keep going through the collections, keep trying Ebay and Craigslist. Probably won't get too much done on it because October is a busy month!
Goal: Lose Weight
I am back on the training plan Jennifer gave me- I'm pretty slow at it all right now, but I am keeping up with it. I've shaved 3 minutes off my running time in the last week. Still have a lot of work to do. I signed up for Wilderness Run, so its training time!!!
Goal for October: Keep up with training plan, run Wilderness Run! Go to Yoga at least twice.
Goal: Debt
October is going to be hard. We are celebrating our anniversary this weekend, my friend Bethany is coming to visit, then Jeff and I are headed to St Louis, then its my birthday. I wouldn't call any of those activities "cheap." But- we've been better during the week so we can have more fun on the weekends. I'd like to look into other income things I can do-- Button's Up!
Goal for October: Limit eating out at restaurants during the week. Pack lunch at least 4 times a week. Jennifer is going to pick a Button's Up project for Julie and I from our Pinterest. We are going to make it.
Goal: Career
I have a feeling a lot of my positivity last time had a lot to do with going away with J to a conference. It was nice talking with some of my old professors there, and it was nice to have the reassurance that I don't necessarily need to figure out why I want to "move on" -- it is okay to want to accomplish more and have a new challenge. Will it be tomorrow? Probably not. Have I created a place for myself at work that makes me feel better? Yes. I'm taking on projects that I know I would like to learn for the future. At the October COA meeting I talked with J & J about putting myself out there in other fields, just to see if it is what I want. They challenged me to email someone I had spoken to. I DID IT. They explained they werent looking for anyone to help right now but they'd keep my email. I always read things like that to actually say "no thanks!" but I think I am just going to continue putting myself out there.
Goal: Keep putting myself out there- e-mail at least 4 more people. Create list of accomplishments at work for yearly evaluation, and create list of things I would like to accomplish.
Other Goal: Figure out what I want to do in life
Yeah, that really is vague. I don't know what else to call it.
Goal for October: Work on my "Life List" - and Blog on my Awkward/Awesome blog at least twice. Do Button's Up Craft (Yeah, I couldn't tell if that fits under debt or this.)
