Weekly Goals

After I treated myself so poorly last week, I was really hoping to kick this week’s ass.  Alas, it kicked mine.  I really didn’t pick up the exercise the way I hoped and I continued to eat out pretty regularly, which I prefer not to do.  All for the sake of getting away from my desk and out of the office, if only for the 15 minutes it takes to go and pick up some food and come back and get back to the daily grind.

I’m not sure if I lack discipline or just the desire to be better.  I know that when I get in my “funks” as I call them, I just go through the motions of the day, not really caring about anything.  I’ll just do the bare minimum and make excuses as to why I can’t possibly be expected to do something. 

But, I do want to be better.  I know I need to push myself.  I certainly don’t want to be an average woman.  I want to be something exceptional and special.  And, those people don’t quit.  They don’t sit back and whine because something isn’t going there way.  Something that I came to terms with earlier this year is that I have control over everything that happens to me – good or bad.  It was such a profound feeling when I realized this because it took away all of the excuses.  It’s just me on this journey, and if I want something then I need to earn it. 

I have so many goals and things that I’m working towards that it can feel extremely overwhelming.  I mean, how can I possibly be expected to remember to work on improving so many things at once?  I’ve decided to create a list of weekly goals.  I’ll check in each day to see how I’m doing and keep myself on track.  This week, I’m starting out with 7.  I’m assuming that some will roll over week to week, but I plan to leave them on this list until it becomes more than a passing phase.  I want these good habits to become a part of who I am naturally.

The Taste of Fall

All of a sudden it’s fall.   It’s like a switch was flipped.   The nights are cooler (well, I think they’re down right cold) and the days are shorter.   I’m wearing light jackets, and thoroughly enjoying the new trench coat the I picked up back in August.   Today I had my first Pumpkin Spice Latte of the season.   And, it was amazing.   I’m so excited that fall is here.   I just love all the spices and flavors in fall seasonal food.   I’m looking forward to trying out some very delicious looking recipes that I’ve been saving for cooler weather, and partaking in some fall-ish activties.   I just hope it doesn’t get too cold too soon!

Forward is Forward

There are definitely days, weeks, or even more extended periods of time when I feel stuck.  I feel like I'm not going anywhere and no matter what I do, and that I'm not making any progress.  But, the truth is, whether we see it or not, every day we get up and continue to work on our goals, is a day that we are moving forward.  We just have to keep persevering despite all the obstacles and distractions.  Think of it this way, we don't value things that come easy!

Hello October and PSLs!

Now that it's officially October, I'm allowing myself to drink pumpkin spice latte's, and it has truly made my Monday morning a little brighter.  I love how the little things, can make me stop and smell the roses, or coffee, in this case.  It is the start of a new month, and a new week, and for me, the start of quarter end!  I'm going to need a lot more coffee!  LOL. Over the last few weeks, I have really been tested at work.  I can tell that people are being put in front of me so that I can grow and work past some things in my life.  Like, how I can't control everything.  And, no matter what job I work in, there will always be challenging people that I need to work and partner with.   I read something recently that kind of put it into perspective.  Gold, when found in nature, is encased in rock and must be manually removed.  I don't know the science behind it, but these rocks must be crushed, chemically treated, and heated t...
