March Goal Progress: Week 1 Check In

Monday means it’s time to check in for my monthly goal… but wait! I never yet posted about what my March goal was, even though I had it in my head and have been working toward achieving it. Fortunately, it doesn’t require much explanation: my March goal is to log 100,000 steps per week (or an average of 14,286 steps per day). I’ll be tallying on a Monday to Sunday basis, so the total is more important than the average. However, I honestly don’t hit 10,000 steps a day now, so this is quite a challenge to consistently exceed that …

Can you believe it’s February 22nd already? I know that February is slightly longer this year because it’s a leap year, but that still means the month is almost over. It went by so quickly! To be honest, though, I’ve spent the past week wishing my February challenge was over. Although I’m happy that I’ve stopped using my phone while I’m driving, it’s been frustrating not being able to talk to people while I’m on the road. Sure, I can avoid my phone and just assume that plans won’t change at the last minute… but that tends to hurt me more than anyone else, since …

I’m not going to sugar coat it: this was a really crappy weekend! I woke up on Friday with my voice about two octaves lower than my normal, and the cold continued to get worse throughout the weekend. I kept slowly canceling plans all weekend (including seeing Becky in Breck!), until by Sunday afternoon, I was sick enough to put a moratorium on seeing people altogether – I didn’t want to make anyone else sick. I’m incredibly frustrated that this is the second weekend in three weeks that I’ve had this cold. I’ve heard from neighbors, friends, and coworkers that …

February Goal Progress: Week 1 Check In

goal setting, travel / 12 Comments

Wow, that was a rough weekend… and since I had to fly to Dallas Sunday afternoon for work, it was also a weekend that got cut short. Apologies for my Saturday afternoon rant about travel woes; I probably should have just grabbed a drink or a nap rather than typing out all my frustrations. Speaking of stress: I learned yesterday that a popular blog gossip site has picked up on the fact that I haven’t mentioned Adam in a while. Eagle eyes! I didn’t know how to write this, but part of why I’ve been so unhappy lately is that Adam and I have stopped …

February Challenge: Zen on the Road

February is Valentine’s Day, and so I think it’s as good a time as any to focus on some self-love. It’s no secret that I’ve been incredibly stressed out lately, and so I’d like to take the month of February to commit to doing something stress-relieving. I thought for a while about what that stress-relieving thing might be. Reading more? I feel like I am already doing well on that front (just brought my total books read count for January up to 11 this weekend). TED Talks in the morning? That petered off for me last year. And as I mentioned …
