31 March 2013

How did y'all do on your March goals? [More:]1. I'm going to do my best to actually be early to work every day this month. I've been slacking on what time I leave the house in the morning (somewhat because I am bored at the moment) and it is starting to show at work.

Yeah, this was real hit or miss this month. No one has said anything to me about it, but if it's bad enough that someone notices it--that's definitely not good. I just need to force myself to get out of bed at a reasonable hour.

2. I will finish this damned gold bra! I'm tired of looking at it and want it to be done.

Alas, the gold bra had to be put aside this month to make a circle skirt as my West project, so I didn't make a whole lot of progress on it (except for sewing the strap tubes and threading the ribbon through them).

3. I will continue to work on my Zombies Run 5k training. I signed up to do a race at the beginning of May and I don't want to look bad compared to the half-marathon running sister. :)

Slow jogged the week 5 day 1 workout yesterday evening. During the 2 10 minute free form runs at the end I managed to slow jog for 7.5 minutes of the first one and all of the second. :D Granted, I'm sure people with walkers could outpace me, but I'm trying and hope that speed will come with time.

4. I will work very hard on my West pathworking and will see if I can complete the West by the end of the month.

I was released from the West on Wednesday! (I've also notified my sponsor and will text him on Monday to receive further instructions about the North.)

5. I will work on not spending money frivolously. My paychecks are only so big and my credit card bill is out of control.

Yeah, another fuckup here. I have to pay my taxes (over $500, which is some bullshit because I don't even make $20k) and that's going to smart and basically trash what little savings I have unless pops decides to give me some cash. (I've hinted about it to him, but haven't said anything outright. We can't say anything outright in my blood family.)


Everyone else, how did y'all do? :)

April's post will come tomorrow.
These were my March goals.

I achieved them all (except that I didn't get to meet Amro's baby, who was sick on the day I was due to see him), but given my March goals were mostly dedicated to pleasure and hedonism, it wasn't difficult to do.

Here's my Barbuto roast chicken. It's the best roast chicken I've ever eaten.

This is me outside the Flamingo theater after seeing Donny & Marie. I was so totally blissed out I felt as if I'd had 15 orgasms.

Vegas was a blast.

I met Pips' mom. (She is 97 years old - can you believe it?!)

I made it to Death Valley and back, alive and well. Death Valley is utterly astonishing.

I did okay, I'll accept it as progress.

Exercise consistently - I had hoped to be at the point where I'm exercising 45 min 4 times per week, but I am exercising and laying groundwork for habits, so it's all good.

Stop snacking on crappy free snack food at work: a complete success. I've been bringing radishes and peppers and nuts to work and eating those instead. Tracking my weight again kinda helps with that too.

Goals met! I bought goggles and did a drop-in swim practice. Been hoping to go again but I've been under the weather for what seems like weeks.

Just fine, thanks for asking.
