Holy Carp, Batman.

I feel bad this forum has become my own mental health journal. *sigh*
 

Week 4, Days 3,4,5 and 6

Workouts 2/3 - Did a dance/stretch/yoga/press up workout this morning.

Meditate:  2/3 - Trying to keep this as a "every day or so" aim, and counting the smallest attempts.
Clean: 1/1 - Getting there today.

Write: 1/1 - Daily still.

Extra: 1/1 - Walked 1.7km on Tues, Wed, and Thurs nights. so that's (3x1.7km) uhh.. 5.1km? Then walked 1km today to pick him up.
 

I failed an essay due to a technicality (I'm fighting the argument but have to rewrite it no matter what.) It's the first time I've ever failed anything university level, and I've done a Masters degree before this course so it hit quite hard. I've been crying in between work appointments, but going off sick would only increase my workload because we each hold our own cases. So I have to stick at it. At least until I pas the course.

*sigh*
GP appointment booked for Wednesday. Had to speak to HR in order to be allowed to work from home that day to make the appointment. 
Frustrated life feels so hard, but also determined the one thing I've been doing okay in is keeping up the momentum for NFA. So here's finishing this week's goals. I might not get a 3rd workout in tomorrow as family are visiting, but the rest should be do-able.

Don't even fret! I've done the same thing. I say things on here I wouldn't normally. It's definitely become like my blog. Haha.

 

I think that's why it's here to be honest. XD

I am SHATTERED. 

This week though (Week 5 or 0 I guess), I've meditated for a full ten minutes, and walked extra and it's been really productive. Frustrating after last week's struggles

Workouts 2/3 - Did my second one today. I'm not happy with only doing 2/3 for the past couple of weeks but... eh. I have to pick my battles, and I KNOW I sturggle to both write daily and work out and do work and start a business and live....

WEEK 5 TOTAL:        9/10 

 

Course: 1/1
Workouts 2/3 - Yup.

Meditate:  3/3 - Managed 3/3 in the end!
Clean: 1/1 - Yup.

Write: 1/1 - I technically forgot two days this week.

Extra: 1/1 - Yup.

It's a shame the workout is what has suffered, but with my assumed 10/10 now, I'm actually at 95% which i can't really complain about!

WRITING

I have a daily writing aim of "269 words."
Of the 217 days so far this year, I have only met this goal... 24 days. In June and July I didnt get a single day reaching that amount.
But I have proudly written at least 269 words from August 1st to August 5th, so if I can keep that up as a new minimum, I might still hit my yearly goal of 100,000 words a year!

WORKOUTS

I've found having different days isn't helpful, BUT, having set days was difficult when my husband and I had different shifts.
Also, I'm taking part in the #PlankOnItAugust challenge in the Nerd Fitness Academy Women's FB Group. So although I only worked out twice this week, I have been doing one plank daily
