What do you want to accomplish this week? 

How are you going to do it? 

ETA: BTW, you guys. I think it speaks volumes that I posted a Motivational Monday post on a TUESDAY (that is clearly impersonating a Monday) and either no one noticed or no one pointed it out. 

It would be great if my brain would turn on at some point today.

Re: Motivational Monday! (ETA - I mean...Tuesday?)

  • I'd like to hit 55,000 words on my WIP by Friday. I'm going to actually leave the house to do some writing. Hang out at B&N and attend a sit in writer's club with timed writing exercises. Wish me luck!
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • What do you want to accomplish this week? As usual, write. U[date my wardrobe at some point. And actually read a book. 

    How are you going to do it? God knows.

  • Wrap up my last week at my current job on a good note. I fully trust the girl who is taking my spot, just need to convince the kids.

  • This week, I'd like to get over the (not just morning) queasiness. Also, I would like to exorcise whatever demon entered by 18-month-old. He's been a terror for three days.

    Oh, and I need to find a shoe repair place because I broke my favorite pair of brown heels.

    How: I'm working on it.

  • Exercise every day!  Off to a good start with a 2 mile walk this morning.

    How: remind myself that I don't fit into most of my clothes still and I have no money for new ones and a family reunion coming up.

  • I want to stay within my points this week, which I'll do by monitoring what I am eating.  This is my first week back at school, so I want to remain calm (or at least appear calm) when the craziness starts.  I want to take the dog for a walk every day, and go to yoga twice.

    I did notice but I just thought you were catching up for lost time.

  • I NEED to sort through closets and get an idea of what's needed for fall. Both for myself and for Adelaide. It was quite chilly this morning and I was in a panic trying to find something with long sleeves for Adelaide, and we were already running late.

    I think I'll just take one closet at a time.  I'll start with Adelaide's tonight and do mine tomorrow, then MH's on Thursday.

  • Finish up some organizing around the house, snuggle the puppies, hopefully make progress on the job hunt. Of those the snuggling will be the easiest and most fun to accomplish. I'm using it as the reward for making little bits of progress on the other two each day.

  • Exercise at least three times this week.  I got a jump on it yesterday (you know, the real Monday  :ar! ) by doing a strength workout and some yoga.

    I bought clothes today which I haven't done in a while, including a pair of riding boots for wide calves.  Since I want to be in smaller sizes by the winter, that's motivation.

  • Finish my book. Work on my blog. Exercise 3-4 days. Unpack my books.

    Really I just need to quit staring at the tv all day. I've gotten so lazy on maternity leave. The weather is gorgeous so there is no reason why I can't get outside and walk other than that I'm lazy.

  • I am going to start trying to lose the rest of my baby weight. I'm going to take a walk every day that weather permits, sign up for the new session of zumba (yay!) and stop eating crap when I'm hungry. Oh, I also want to get started on Natalie's baby book.

  • My goals this week all revolve around losing weight. I am doing a Clean Eating Challenge starting today and I'm finishing week 5 of T25 (last week of the Alpha set).

    I planned out all my meals this week and went grocery shopping already so there will be less chance that I cheat on the challenge. As far as the workouts, I have pretty much gotten into the habit of doing them, but I just remind myself of my progress and get it done.

  • I want to continue with my healthy eating and exercise.  I need to finish organizing the kids school supplies and get everything into their backpacks for tomorrow.  I should also pull some more veggies out of the garden and deal with them (clean, freeze, give away).

    I also really want to read at least two books this week!

  • I wanted to get back into my house hunting search, because I haven't really been motivated to go to viewings or participate in the bidding wars.

    Achievement plan: Look at listings online, consider smaller places, go to scheduled viewing, determine maximum amount, don't get too invested, join the bidding war, lose gracefully.

    I achieved all of that already this week except the last one. I won the bidding war today; I bought an apartment.

  • My only real goal this week is to survive until payday. I went a little too spend-happy recently.
  • Make a photo book of my kid's 5th birthday and (SIGH) put away the laundry that is in PILES of unfolded disaster all over the bedroom.
  • I want to survive the week.  My work is extremely busy and I'm in a wedding on Friday plus my library book is due tomorrow with no renews left.

    How I'm going to do this: Deep breaths and lots of wine.

  • I want to get back in the habit of taking daily walks. It's been so hot here that I haven't wanted to (I miss snow, bring on winter!). I went on a walk today and hope to go on at least 2-3 more this week.
  • Finish book 1 of the Hunger Games trilogy. Begin book 2 if possible. Also get a ton of research done for my paper. And catch up on the laundry.

    Read read read. Find real time to read through research. Go throw a load of laundry in now.

  • I seriously need to get back to healthy eating so i am going to try eliminating the junk, although i splurged on yummy fondue tonight.

    I also want to get dd's new car seat installed this week.

    Thanks!

    The living room has a peacock blue accent wall, so I'm wearing a peacock blue dress today to celebrate. ;)
