Goals ? Budgets ?

What are those?

hah since this school semester I kinda went off the grid in terms of money.

I bought a dog which then got sick

Bought a beater car

Bought a summer car

Bought a sounds system

Waiiin.

So much money spent and right now I’m sitting at 1k in my TFSA – so poor.

And this month I have quite a bit to pay for. Such as a speeding ticket, a tempo, ah Christmas, riding lessons.  I know that these things are 1) unnecessary 2) my fault 3)wants not needs

But it still sucks.

January I’m not going to spend any money I don’t have too (AKA resto’s, movies, extra gas for random driving, shopping..)

And I’m going to pay off as much as I can and hopefully by my Birthday have another 1k in my tfsa.

No matter how often you fall off of the bandwagon always try to get back on set smaller goals and achieve them one step at a time 🙂

peace.

So I will be posting about a few other goals I have for this month in terms of personal and decluttering ALONGSIDE other Finance goals 🙂

Peace

End month recap – GOALS

1) Work out at least 20 days this month I worked out around 20 days this month + my job is physical.

2) Try not to eat when I’m bored (avoid over eating- Be CONSCIOUS). If I was bored and went to go eat I made sure it was fruit or veggies 🙂

3) Pay at least 300$ to debt. By accident – YES ACCIDENT. I paid 480$ !!!!!! Well. I met my goal :p

4) Blog at least 4 times a week. I’ve been blogging like crazy! So many good reads- I HIGHLY recommend you to go read my other blogs 🙂

5) read one book. Yea- I read like 5 pages of a new book. haha

6) Incorporate more GREENS. EVERYDAY all DAY. uhuh Got the Kale so yummy.

7) Save at least 300$ I transferred 420 (ahah 420) to my TFSA for a grand total of 1000$$ 

8) Go see Dutchess more! This is so important to me.  I miss her like crazy. But I just seem to never have enough time to go see her. I want to walk her at least twice a week. Very much disappointing in myself I only seen her about 6 times but Trevor did go see her a couple of times too so I guess that counts. 

Did you achieve your goals for February?

I’ll update y’all soon with my March goals 🙂

Peace

Where the F is my motivation ?

I have been pretty sore the last two days and haven’t been working out (2 days total not including today) I simply just have really sore knees and usually I run as my workout.

I just don’t know what I can do that will be easier as a workout on them.

Also another thing that has been annoying the fuck out of me was that I was on a downward spiral (in a good way) with weight loss I was at 174 and now since my birthday (cake, ice cream, chocolate galore) I’m back up at 179. I want to cry I hate it, I workout all the time but my diet sucks so fucking much i hate how my boyfriends mom buys all the bad foods that I simply cannot say no too. 

In my house I only bought good food because “out of sight out of mind” was the only control tactic that worked for me in regards to bad foods. If something is in front of me I will eat it. So clearly I avoid Chinese buffets haha.
So bad food plus no working out equals #fuckmyfatasseasytogainwieghtlifeihatemybellygoddamnitfucktits

Kay who ever figures out what that says I’ll do a small workout.

ANYONE have any suggestions as to what kind of workouts I could do that don’t involve my knees?

peace.

Driving everyone nuts.

is it a wee bit nutty ?

Ha, Well I had to add humor somewhere -__-

So lately I’ve been this ball of “DA FUQ” and cry cry cry, I have no clue if it is/was Pms or I’m just a little depressed or so fucking stressed with life: I want to keeeel over.

Mind my slang though – Too much twitter talk and tumblr.

Anyways, I look to several people for advice, well two. My cousin in law Terri and my bestie lover friend Jessie. Jessies seen me through it all, I mean I practically live at her house. I’m so included in the family that I had turkey dinner there (Tanker you it was berry good). Terri on the other hand has the knowledge and wisdom I look too because of her experience; aka older and wiser than any of my friends she has the best advice (and reminders {and turkey dinners} :))

I need to figure out some crap in my life and these are my two main girls because with out them, I would be crying in a closet somewhere, or starving, or lonely, or forever alone, of crying in hole I dug with my finger nails due to anxiety stress. (I think you get the point ?)

Yea, so for the longest time I would gloat about my ability to volunteer, work full-time, go to school full-time, and keep fitness going. And yea to the point ? It all died, crashed and then burnt. Yea I can admit that I am no longer able to do this temporarily – BUT I did do it for 3 years straight.

Right now I just gotta put my priorities straight, achieve my goals and get rid of the crap load of crap in my life. AKA my negativity – overly needy bitch ass cryingness. (yee that’s a mouth full)

OKIIE,

1)School bang wagon: either jump off or get back on – none of this one leg on and one leg off crap (Sounds like and elaborate yoga position)

2) Get those mother fuckin Abs I’ve wanted since grade 11.

3) Stop being a needy as bitch, and stop crying like one because real men don’t cry (Da fuq lady parts ?)

4) Let go, move forward, be happy.

Yep these are my from here on out till 2014 goals / priority’s.

Peace peeps.

Goals? Resolutions? I dunno.

I haven’t ever really had New Year’s resolutions and when eve r I decided to change some aspect about myself it is spontaneous and completely random. So I won’t be posting a blog on my new year’s resolutions but what I am planning on doing is setting up monthly goals and will be sticking to them with no exceptions. *I hope*

For this month my main focus will be on Carla’s challenge and that’s about it.

 

The only other Goals I have are

1)      Write a blog Monday and Thursday at least.

2)      Try to be on time

3)      Workout 3 times a week

4)      Check in at the end of the month to see if I have followed through with my plans.

 

 

And that shall be it for tonight blogging wise.

Good night, peace. 

What have I done?

So today’s blog is going to be about my summer / fall goals and why I’m up at 3am writing this blog. First off most of my summer I’ve spent working 60 or more hours a week, yea I know it’s CRAZY and I’m just about at my limit for working as well. And all of the shifts I’ve been basically working are night.  So that is why I’m up right now. But I have to get back to day shifts before Friday. I have no idea how I’m going to do this.  Lots of tea? Coffee? Mhmm defiantly. But besides work I’ve had a little list of things I’ve been wanting to get done or buy or do for the summer and upcoming fall. And I will post them in point form with a either a complete, changed, never mind or to be done following them…

• Get my Fitness degree (in progress)

• Get hair done (Complete :D)

• Get my puppy fixed (To be done when she’s 8 months)

• Fix my car or buy a new one… (Obviously haven’t done either yet but I’m planning on buying a new one and scraping this one that I have now)

• Buy  a bike and start biking (Not done, probably won’t get done- instead purchasing a treadmill)

• Start my book (Now I have 2 in mind and haven’t started writing but have an idea of characters and setting and plots. Book 1 – Dutchess and her puppy/ dog years. More for advice and humor. Book 2 – ah, this one is a top secret 🙂 but I’ll give a unobvious hint “Halloween & les monsters”

• Start Fundraiser #3 ( Last year in school I did 2 for 2 different organizations: SPCA de Valleyfield and La Bouffe Additionell) And this year I want to do 2 more for 2 other organizations that is part of this lower Montreal region. I hand in mind a school supplies fundraiser for kids that go to Heritage and the French elementary school.  And maybe a fun day for the less privilege or a weekly FREE activities day (like Saturday) for all younger students. A day like this would promote having funny & being active& making friends or making stronger relationships in younger kids. I can’t even begin to explain how vital it is for children to have a strong social life; it affects them, their self esteem, and their self worth in a group and will highly affect how they will be when they are older in the real world. Remember were always stronger in numbers.  And this theory can be applied to most aspects of the human life.  *** Sorry for going all Psychological on you guys, it’s defiantly a high interest for mine.***

• AH, a new Phone. This is something I need every 5-6 months. Phones are a love hate relationship. I love them, but when someone else pisses me off I end up throwing them (the hate being they hate me 🙂 if a phone had feelings) I want an Iphone or a black berry. And I’ve narrow it down to a black berry due to my phone commitment issues, Who cares if you throw your black berry –psh. But some people will look at you with death eyes if you were to throw your iphone !

• And then there are all of those other goals, like stop drinking coffee(tried, failed), save money( I have :)), go shopping(haha this is a never ending goal of my life.), get a tattoo(When I graduate college :)), go to a concert ( Lights :)), stop being stress (This is a working progress) Fix my house (Can you even fix a house in this type of state? HA HA) Get a tone of hours (Yep, done, now I’m burnt) and lastly be happy. (This is a, um, working progress that connects tightly with my stress& Anxiety & school & money& .. life. Ugh.)

I have many other goals and things I’d like to get done but honestly I have a list of about 200, starting with the dishes to do.  But these are more important and specific.

Do you guys set goals?

Do you regularly keep track of them?

Do you believe in always bettering yourself?
