Ginevra Posted June 2 Share Posted June 2 I’ll play! Now that Covid got me, I suspect the month of June will have only one Health goal: (if you’ll excuse the motto:) Build Back Better. 😛 I unfortunately had to cancel a doctor’s appointment I literally made last December, because I have the nerve to insist on seeing my actual doctor and not a PA. This was supposed to be an annual work-up but of course I couldn’t get my labs with Covid in the mix. So heaven knows when I’ll be able to get that rescheduled. I plan to take advantage of having my tech boy home and have him rebuild the computer set up for the company. This job is extremely overdue. I want/need to replant my herb planters with fresh plants, as well as a couple of decorative plants. This would normally have been done a month ago, but since we were planning a trip to Ireland, I didn’t get that done before we left. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will increase my willpower by changing my mindset: I know I get energized and motivated when I build on success rather than focus on "failure." Health and fitness: go to sleep earlier, hike and walk, do arms for carrying stuff up to campsite Work: be grateful Home and Garden: ignore until after the 4th, tidy just enough to not be gross, plant in basil Creativity: build the float Edited June 15 by Eos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eos Posted June 17 Author Share Posted June 17 Day 2 check in: basil in, garden watered and hose system fixed, but I pulled rose chafer beetles off the raspberries and apple trees to the point that I didn't need to do a video. Today I will make 14 pies, clean three rooms, walk and HIIT run, and mock up a piece of the float. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Hi Eos! (Need the waving emoji) My life is very upside down right now and goal setting/ achieving is not much in the picture. I will be traveling or out of town for work for the next 10 days, with limited control over my schedule and environment. From now til the end of June: Do PT exercises daily Get in a 30 minute walk daily Learn a lot Read every evening Remember to call my mom Be ready to hit the ground running in July! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the "from now til the end of June" timeline, very do-able. And I really like this simple but nicely comprehensive list of tasks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted June 20 Author Share Posted June 20 Missed a day, which is fine because I was busy accomplishing goals! Tomorrow I will make 14 pies, clean three rooms, and roast in the heat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eos Posted June 23 Author Share Posted June 23 Ha - I'm too busy for daily check ins, but the whole week was good, I did all my goals.

I can't stop myself from waking up super early but I can control when I go to bed. The float is going very well, we have the design, most of the materials, and we've built one puppet so far, working on 8 more and a banner. Found all the participants (I think) and sent in the entry form. This week I will focus on the float and the race I'm working next weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutTN Posted June 23 Share Posted June 23 @Eos What kind(s) of pie did you make? 14 is a lot!! Work trip is going well, though I miss my family, my bed, and better food. (We are staying in college dorms and eating in the cafeteria.) I have been mostly good on goals, though walking may be limited by rain today. Will call my mom this afternoon. And Dh! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I make blueberry, strawberry-rhubarb, peach-raspberry, apple, apple-blackberry, cherry-almond crumb, raspberry crumb (for a local farmstand.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
