Sunday Reflections (Jul 3rd) Accountability Thread

Reflecting on the past week makes me realize it has been such a busy and productive week! It was also so so long, it felt more like 2 weeks in 1. I met most of the goals I set myself, I said I would deep clean my house before work and I did for some rooms but its still a little cluttered and messy. I did manage to attend a combat class, I took my kitten to the vet and got treatment for the whole litter, my house has been safety checked, the contract for work has been sign and I've done a bunch of paperwork and for personal goals I have given a lot of thought of healthier communication.

The main challenges this week have definitely been financial. The costs of living have risen so high in my country and there's things out of my control. But I have made almost £`100 on Ebay this month! I have been planning ahead for next week, made dinner I can have tomorrow, got some lunch I can bring in to work, figured out the timing of the commute. I have been looking ahead as much as i can to avoid set backs. It really has not been easy, I feel overwhelming amount of responsibility on my shoulders and no one to help take some of the weight off.

I took the last two weeks to rest and just take things slow because I felt like I was getting too obsessed with my goals but it wasnt fun. I was more reaching them for the sake of reaching them.

I wanna take this month to establish a good basis for my life again. Fix my sleep, release stress, have fun. I realized that my lifestyle is not good enough for my mental health and I just need to do more fun stuff or I just wont be able to be productive. I will use this month as a reset so I can have a good basis for the rest of the year and actually enjoy the goals I set for myself. I will still work on them but approach it from a relaxed angle.

Hey Queens, I have been quiet on these threads for a few weeks. Partly I was taking some much needed down time (happened to be one of my goals, ie balance, so winning), and also then I have been busy with work/biz stuff again. Back now! and will try to be a bit more present again. However I can't access the older posts that listed my (ongoing) goals so I will start listing them again this week. It's a bit wonky b/c I am in the southern hemisphere so it's already mid week by the time the goals thread goes up - but I will do my best to be more consistent b/c I believe in the power of group support and energy. Definitely Thank you for your consistency @Runner_Woman! Keep on keeping on and making progress to living the life of your dreams ladies! It's possible! And we can do it!

I've been MIA due to a staycation and my frustrating period. Anywho... I'm back! :) My goals are going relatively well. I aimed to cook more, and while I don't cook every day, I am making a habit to eat healthy. I'm still inconsistent with my workout routine, so there's plenty of room for improvement. Great job to everyone for working hard towards their goals! Practice makes progress and permanence.

I started working out at home this week and I'm so proud of myself. I want abs and I'm noticing my abs are starting to form. I'll keep going and hope I get that bulky body soon.

Hey ladies!! I didn’t get a chance to post my updates on Sunday but I’m glad I’m able to do it now. Last week was my first week of my pediatric placement and I’m proud that I was able to meal prep and avoid using Uber eats or buying takeout at the hospital. I find right now what I struggled with is not getting overwhelmed with amount of stuff I need to learn. I had alot of trouble balancing my personal life as I found all my time was spent with work. Its 8 weeks so I don’t want to burn out just starting. Im thinking this week to incorporate evenings after to have “no study time/review time” to help me to have a bit of balance. We’ll see how it goes.
