July 2016 Monthly Goals

Here was June's list -
Work:
- Keep up the 6 hour days - Mostly. 
- Work on/finish the freelance web design job now that the client has made some decisions - Worked, yes. 

Health: 
- GET BACK TO YOGA. (This will be on my list until I succeed) - Nope
- Continue meal/batch prepping - Not really
- Keep taking my meds. - YES
- Do the Walk of Hope - YES!
- Do better at staying off oil - Ehhhh... Vegan junk food will be the death of me lol

Personal/Home:
- Clean my kitchen from top to bottom - nope
- Clean the living room, more particularly the zoo area, from top to bottom - nope
- Work another pet adoption event (that'll make 2 for the month!) - Yes!
- Have fun with my niece when she comes to visit! - Yes!
- Start working on next month's surprise :) - Yes!
- Finish reading the self-help books I rented from the library - Still reading

I'm so excited about the July surprise. Only 5 people actually know what's going on, and they are just as happy about it as Hubs and I are. But that's all I'm saying until it has happened and pictures are taken.

Health-wise I don't think June was that great. I did REALLY awesome for a week, lost 5 pounds, then got lazy and ate a roast beef sandwich. It was gross, so I guess that's a good thing. I definitely won't eat it again. Vegan is getting easier since animal products are starting to taste funny. Now that I know I can get good vegan from Pei Wei and Chipotle, it's a lot easier for me to stick to my guns when I don't have a pre-packed lunch. (Although I think I might need to cut back on the quantity of tofu I'm consuming) I'm still not cooking with any oil, so my only problem is snack food, like premade roasted chickpeas, or crispy peas. I need to try and make these in bulk with my dehydrator so I don't buy so much.
I haven't been working out, though, and that's still a problem. Hubs and I did do the 1 mile Walk of Hope, and that was good. I didn't die afterwards, so I could do that more often if it wasn't boiling outside.
I have been taking my anti-depressant again for a few weeks, and I can definitely feel the difference. I'm glad I went back on it.

I've got several freelance jobs with looming deadlines this month, and that makes me happy. Everything should be done fairly quickly, and I can put that money towards my ailing car. I'm glad I feel like I'm starting to back on track.

Here's July's list! It's short, but everything is really important and could greatly influence August's list.

Work:
- Increase workdays to 7-8 hours again (per boss' request)
- Get 2 freelance jobs finished and 1 started
- Continue towards starting work earlier in the day

Health: 
- HOLY CRAP DO SOME YOGA.
- Batch cook at least twice

Personal:
- Work an adoption event
- Get trained to be an adoption coordinator for our fave rescue group!
- Help Hubs get set up as a transport/training buddy for our rescue group!
- Finish planning and enjoy our surprise!
- Finish all the books I have checked out from the library and rent more
- Start planning the DFW PCOS Cysters September Run/Walk/Crawl

What's Your Song? Thursday IS BACK!

I realized that I'm in desperate need of some tunage. I'm trying a 3-day juice fast, and I want it to go well, so I need to be in a good mood - esp. since I hate most of the veggies in the juice but I know they are good for me. I have some good news - I have lost enough weight to take the 'W's off the end of my pant size, and I had to buy new, SMALLER undies. YAY! The hubby is very excited about the pair decorated with sledding penguins lol. Here's my song - Dirty Laundry by Bitter:Sweet. Love this song!!! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go dance with my dog and ignore all the dirty laundry that really needs to meet the washing machine :) Join us on this great link-up from Amber at Goodnight Moon !

The Doctor... Doctor Who? A.K.A. Damn you, Netflix :)

Oh, the hardships of having no cable TV... We decided that we were paying way too much money for cable, when there were only a handful of channels we watched. Of course we couldn't get the basic cable, because it was missing half of the channels we wanted. So I cut it off completely. And I'm so glad I did. We upgraded our internet service, bought a year of Xbox Gold membership, and subscribed to Hulu Plus and Netflix. Although we have decided to cancel our Hulu subscription, we love Netflix. Hulu is great for current shows, but Netflix is awesome because we can watch an entire series. When it first came out, I LOVED Alias. It was a spy show starring Jennifer Garner. My mom and I used to watch it every week. But Hubs had never heard of it! Seriously, he lived under a mountain. At least when it came to TV. So we watched all 5 seasons of Alias. We decided that instead of watching various shows all at once, we would choose a series and watch it all before switching to a new show....

What's Your Song Thursdays!

I missed this last week, and although I've only participated for a few weeks, I felt really bad that I didn't get to. Lately I've been trying to find songs that fit into my category of I'm strong, and I'm not going to give up . There are a lot out there, but finding ones that are a little more vague is a difficult task. I'm not dealing with a breakup, so the songs about being storng after breakups don't work. I need songs about having to fight a life-long battle, fighting for what you believe in, fighting for what you want. This one fits :) The enemy: PCOS and infertility. I will be invincible. I may lose a few battles, but damnit I'm going to win the war! Then everyone will have to go into hiding, because between me, the hubby and our friends, we will have evil little children. We already lovingly refer to them as our future demon spawn lol :) Without further ado, here's Pat Benetar with Invincible Don't forget to head over to Goodnight Mo...
