Asa Pond Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm going to try and get some kind of tracking going. Week of Dec. 10: Clean Up After Us: Keep up with basic household cleanliness and clutter. Did Dishes Cleaned out fridge Went grocery shopping Gets us everywhere on time: Get every assignment in on time. Done Looks Damn Good in a Suit: 2 Workouts a week. Workout 1 done on Tuesday. Lot's of Things You Can Do With a Stopwatch: Stretch every day Stretched on Tuesday. 2 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt. Link to post
Asa Pond Posted December 12, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 The plan today is work, bullet journal, study, and (maybe, possibly, probably not) head to the gym. I should probably also put laundry away. 1 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt. Link to post

Asa Pond Posted December 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Studied and worked on my bullet journal. Didn't end up doing much else except for binge-ing American Gods because I know how to make good choices... I'm feeling under the weather right now but the goal when I get out of work is to go to the gym and then study some more. still need to put away that laundry... 1 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt.

RogueLibrarian Posted December 13, 2018 Report Share Posted December 13, 2018 Yeah, but get some rest time in if you're not feeling well, don't hit the gym too hard.

Asa Pond Posted December 14, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I literally went home from work around 1 and slept for the rest of the day so I guess I was feeling less well than I thought. Need to catch up on studying tonight and then tomorrow I have a review session right next to my gym so I'll have no excuse to not go. I also found this new app for meditation called Shine. It's a lot less spiritual than some others I've tried and I kind of love it. It lets me meditate / be mindful without having to find *a space* to do so. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else but it does in my head. Less than a week and I'm halfway done with law school!! 3 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt.

raptron Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 Woooaohhh, half-way there! You definitely needed that sleep. Glad you were able to respect it and make the space for it! And oooh, new meditation app. Nice.

RogueLibrarian Posted December 14, 2018 Report Share Posted December 14, 2018 I am so glad you just let yourself crash. Clearly your body was telling you something. Oh my god! Halfway there! I feel like you were *just* taking LSAT classes.

Asa Pond Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I'm done! This challenge didn't exactly go to plan but I finished everything, most likely passed all of my classes, and even got back into the gym a few times. Stretching and cleaning fell to the wayside a bit, but I'm happy with how this month went overall. 2 more days of work, then off to meet my brother's surprise fiance for Christmas. (What a story - let me tell you.) And then a week back before starting all over again! 2 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt. Link to post
Asa Pond Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 Also - there are too many good Ianto gifs that I never got to, so I will still be updating this thread through the holiday season. 1 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt. Link to post
Asa Pond Posted December 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2018 I am avoiding doing work at work because my brain is out and down for the week so I went back to look at some old challenges and happened upon this in the one from exactly 2 years ago: "I'll talk to my boss about it tomorrow or next week because I understand what the difficulty is now and he's young and truly may not see the problem, but I just want to give up. I hate it here. I hate this office, I hate the city I live in, and I hate my job. The only reason I am staying is because I'm planning on going to law school next year and starting a new job would not only look bad on a resume, but would be unfair to my new employers." Lately I've been super disappointed with basically all of my challenges because I haven't been able to stick with them even 25% of the time - but my mindset gain is so clearly apparent reading this. I am happy where I am - more than I thought possible even 2 years ago. Sure - there are moments (ok - weeks) of massive amounts of stress but never once have I thought that I would even consider giving up. I love my job, I love what I'm doing, I'm looking forward to what the future holds. And that is more important to me than anything. So glad I've been a part of these forums for this long now - because to be able to go back and track this growth is huge. I'll be able to get back on the fitness train at some point and I know I'll always have this place to come back to. 1 Quote Fallaces sunt rerum species et hominum spes fallunt. Link to post
