bright-eyed

by Sarah Zinkel on July 23, 2012

i am up bright & early this morning doing this:

scenes from graduate student life

in an attempt to survive the week.

see the never-ending piles or articles….

scenes from graduate student life

gah.

i also wanted to do a quick check-in on those goals i set last week.

planner with goals for the week

  • 10,000 steps per day on my fitbit –> 5/7 so close! i met this on all but two days last week.
  • no television all week –> 2/7 fail. i did well at this for two days. womp womp.
  • walk the dogs every day –> 5/7 i met this on all but the two days i didn’t hit 10,000 steps. see a relationship?
  • write for at least 2 hours every day –> 7/7 check! (out of necessity!).
  • meditate each morning –> 3/7 days.

so i did ok, definitely not great.

i’m going to set some more goals for this week, but i think i was a little ambitious last week. this week i’ll keep the same goals minus the meditation. it’s hard to get back into that habit, but meditating isn’t something that should stress me out!! haha. kind of defeats the purpose…

how was your weekend? brad was feeling sick with a random summer cold all weekend, so we laid pretty low on friday and saturday. yesterday was my grandma’s birthday party, so brad and i headed up to manitowoc to celebrate! it was fun. we spent some time with my mom & step-dad and then got to see lots of aunts & uncles and my grandma.

and of course, i ate too much delicious food as always!

…………………….

how was your weekend?

do you have any goals for yourself for this week?

Keep breathing, so much going on right now! Plan for what you can and let it go if you can’t make it happen. I have a busy and fun week planned, including my bachelorette party next weekend. Can’t wait.

Good work! You always do well with your goals… and you usually at least do each goal one time which is better than zero! :)
I have them, but I don’t write them down… :)

Way to go with the goals! You win some, you lose some. Your writing is the priority right now, so don’t be too tough on yourself about the rest. Here’s to a new week!
