    Default Improve Your Life - EVERY WEEK - Inspiration Thread

    My friends and I have a deal with each other to support each other into improving our lives as much as possible every week. Every Wednesday we have coffee and update each other on the things we did that week and the things we'll do next week. If we fail, we reprimand each other and say "WHY... why didn't you?!" and we congratulate each other on a week well done!

    Last week I:

    Learned 10 words in Hebrew
    Discussed investing with a potential investment partner
    Bought a new book 'Unwritten Laws of Business' Read 2 chapters
    Mingled with Lawyers and Bankers at an event for connections
    Went to Gym once (FAIL)

    Last week she:

    Repaid herself the money she owed her savings plus some
    Went to the Library and checked out more books on her interests
    Went to the gym 3 times (WIN)

    This week I:
    Will finish my book.
    Will go to the gym 3 times.
    Will get my sewing machine returned and make some work outfits.
    Start my paysite.

    This week she:

    hasn't told me. BITCH. I need to get on her case!

    SO THIS THREAD IS ABOUT MAKING SOME GOALS AND HAVING PEOPLE CHEERING YOU ON AND SUPPORTING YOU.

    What are you going to do this week?

    The same thing for dinner four nights sounds Blah... but you don't like fish, do you? 'cause I'd replace one with salmon and it'd be just as healthy. YUM!
    GOOD LUCK!

    Report back next week or we'll be on your case.

    Yeah I don't eat fish. I have different variations of chicken breast though. I found some frozen Steggles chicken breasts at Woolworths, they're coated in sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds and linseed, and they're really healthy and low fat. I have one of them with some strawberry infused balsamic vinegar dressing, and steamed veggies with lemon juice.

    Yeah watermelon and chicken together is amazing. One of my favourite takeaway restaurants here do a fucking incredible warm chicken salad with rockmelon in it and a light mustard vinaigrette dressing.

    Thanks, Lys.

    This week I will:
    ~ Return my library books and check out new ones. Current interest: Money managment, beginers invesing, repairing credit, building credit.
    ~ Go to the hospitals and apply for charity or work out a payment plan to repay my hospital bills.
    ~ Reschedule my physical and PPD for nursing school.
    ~ Sew my puppy's stuffed animals back together. I have a stuffie graveyard that holds 15 torn stuffed animals. They need surgery to be put back into action.
    ~ Go to the mountains and hike for a day.
    ~ Lay out by the pool and have a "vacation day"
    ~ Work as soon as my eye is healed for at LEAST an 8 hour shift.

    Just got back from our hike. WORST HIKE EVER.
    I decided to go search for this waterfall in the dessert. yeah. We got lost, walked around off the trail for over an hour, my poor puppy got cactus thorns stuck in 3 of his paws, I got cactus needles stuck in ym foot through my shoe. These things are like fucking nails.
    The fuckign dessert is blooming right nwow with all these pretty dessert flowers. Nice, except I forgot to take my alergy meds and I was sneezing up a storm with red watery eyes and scratchy throat. My puppy also has allergies and he was coughing and gagging and that gave him hiccups. NOT FUN.
    So we gave up our search for a waterfall and walked back to the car. I left the hosue around 6am, and it's now 20 after 9, and we are home already. It's to hot to hike in the dessert now anyway. It was already in the 90's that early in the morning.
    Not to mention the fact that it's like, fucking grasshopper breeding season or some shit, because they are fuckign everywhere. A few grasshoppers I dont mind. They are harmless. But they were everywhere. freaking me out. And bugs, bees, big ass flying insects...ugh.

    So I acomplished my hike, but it sucked ass. For the erst of the summer, I'm stickign with the mountains. Where it's cool and foresty. Still some snow left up there too.

    Debating if I'm gunna go lay at the pool now or go to bed. I shoudl probably sleep....
    Oh, SPF 45 is NOT enough for dessert hiking. I have sunburn.

    Nope nope nope. I wanna hear some specific goals so I can keep tabs on your progress. I don't know what your version of assworking and my version of assworking are.

    Now. Your diet. What are you going to do this week to make your diet work? what are your meal plans.

    Not getting away that vaguely!

    If I don't go to the gym today I might not have time to go three times this week. But I'm coughing up things and have a fever. Halp.

    can you compromise? maybe spend half an hour stretching instead of a work out? If you are just playing hooky and being lazy, by all means get your ass to the gym, but it sounds like you need to take care of yourself.

    LOL. You are awesome Lysondra.

    I'm putting in twelves on the phone sexin' line, minimum. I did it today! W00t!

    My diet is easy. I'm living on Healthy Choice soup and steamed veggies. The last week was a bitch but I'm doing it.

    You go PB! At least you got out there. That counts!
