Day 18 – A quite confusing start

It’s the end of week 2 and I am trying to look back  on how this week has been. And to be honest, I am not quite sure how it really went. At the start of this week, I felt that things were going according to plan. Monday – I went to the library and studied for an exam and went to the gym. It felt like it was a good start. The day after however was a complete different thing. It wasn’t bad but I wasn’t pleased about it either. In short it was quite chaotic day because of how I reacted on the events during that day. From that day, things didn’t get any better. I had planned to go to the gym on Wednesday and Friday but I postponed my training til Saturday & Sunday…

 

There were a lot of surprises this week. Things that we’re written on the agenda we’re not performed due to external factors and due to my lack of motivation as well. I’ve come to realize this week that planning weekly allows me to be flexible but it also gives me room to adjust to sudden changes in the plan. Although, I need to train more on how I react to sudden “surprises”.

 

Some of the good things that happened during this week are:

  1. I went to the gym 3x this week.
  2. Studying went according to the plan.
  3. Managed to clean the house as well.
  4. Started to learn more about cosmetics at work.
  5. Did a product demo at a friend’s party.
  6. Visited my parents.
  7. Learned a couple of more things about myself and how I work…
  8. Our orchid sprouted a flower.
  9. Gotten used to the new eating habit – consuming more healthy food.
  10. Managed to stick with my weekly budget.

This week has been quite a confusing experience as it has been the first week where all my activities in all my target areas intertwine. It’ll take some time to get used to and I hope that I’ll be able to show the patience and will needed to stick to the plan.

Day 13 – Chaos!

What a laugh! I wish I could say that, instead today I feel like crying… Almost…

I got up later than I planned today as I forgot to put on the sound on my phone as I use as an alarm in the mornings. So I rushed to school hoping that I didn’t miss out on the first day of this semester. Then to my surprise, the lecture has been cancelled due to a misunderstanding. To my confussion - I didn’t know whether I should feel reliefed as I didn’t miss something or disappointed because I rushed over to the classroom for nothing…

To make up for the lost time – I sat with some friends and classmates at the library and studied the first chapter for a subject in “Organizations & Management”.

Still have one class to attend to then I’ll be heading to work.

Daily grind -how boring you are at times…

Here’s my favorite inspirational video for “not giving up” -

Week 1 – Impossible is Nothing

The first week of January has gone by and it’s time to check what I’ve done this week…

Health – I went to the gym 3x this week :) Also, the habit of eating light and often is becoming natural to my daily activities.

Career – I worked for 3 days this week. The muscle pains from working out did affect my performance at work though…

Education – Sorted out my documents and set my weekly schedule for studying this week.

Relationship – Booked a ticket to London. Going to visit my cousin on January 23, 2012! January 14 I’ll be visiting my folk’s in Egersund :)

11th day = Looooooooong day

Another day has gone by and today seemed all so much more longer than the days before. I wonder why? Thankfully, I had a wonderful start today – a simple yet wonderful breakfast with a good friend and my boyfriend. Lovely! Then I went to work from 13:00-22:00. It was a rather calm day at the airport today. Thus, when it was time for me to go home I was very delighted.

All in all, it was a pretty good day. Albeit, a bit slow… At days like this a good movie and a good inspirational video quicks me up :)

400days – New Lifestyle

After planning the work for 2012 in December 29, 2011, I’ve started to act on some of the things that I listed on it. As mentioned on my earlier posts, I started working out – almost long before I wrote the physical plan itself. Still I discovered that there was a special thing about December 29,  2011 -  that is from this day til the last day on January 2013  it will be exactly 400 days in between. (The idea was to develop the plan in December 2011, work the plan in 2012 and test  the result in January 2013.) It was a surprise and it was not my intention to get exactly 400 days in between the dates. However, I thought that since that’s the case I might use the coincidence for something. Like for a name to my year plan…

Let’s start the countdown!
