Tuesday, March 9

not sure...

actually i know exactly why i feel under the weather today. i underestimated the weather, and was wearing a leather jacket for a walk and now feel like i might be catching something. have had a thera-flu, so hoping that tomorrow morning will wake up fresh as a berry.

relatively lazy day, haven't done much work, just socialising and walking 25km.

got confirmation that we would be going back to 100% pay and 5 day weeks in May. which hopefully is a good thing. just need to get through April and opening first. also, need to check when and how to sign up for the vaccine. at the moment it is given to people who are 55 and over.

should get extra hour of sleep tonight.

Day 30

And just like that, 30 days gone.
And just like that, another Monday.
And just like that, five weeks to go.

Apart from the usual highlights of the day.
Had a lovely walk with Wayne.
Received UC.
Almost won the Quiz.

Great Day.

Day 29

I think I might start to write down all the topics me and Jolanta are talking about in the morning, to be able to expand on them later. But we so quickly go from one to next it is hard to pinpoint them.

But there were some good ones today, like...
*how long for Prime Minister is elected?
*how beautiful it would be to mix the simple life in the countryside with modern living?
and other topics...

I am thinking tough, why I am not more focused on writing up my business plan?
Yes, I do write down my ideas and little sections of it in my notebook, and I guess one could count it as writing a business plan. But I haven't put them in any kind of professional format.
Really need to work on that!

Also, it's been a lazy ass weekend, spending a lot of time in front of the laptop screen without being productive. Just watching drama on The Challenge show. I do admire the strength of those people, going miles and miles in the heat, solving puzzles, fighting with other contestants. It looks super hard.

On another note, I was acknowledged by my work and won a PT session with Harry!  as the most active team member in February. 28 days out of 28 days. Whoop whoop. I have been active for every day since the beginning of the year, but who is counting. Hahaha.

Day 27

TGIF - Thanks God It's Friday!

Such a lovely, productive day.

Had a lovely morning walk with Jolly, washed my clothes, caught up with some of the team members, learnt french (total of 59 words), read Rich Dad, Poor Dad, worked out, made steak and veggies, went for a run, had shower, call with work colleagues, started fast an hour early, chat with mom with a side of box clean up and now I'll read the wolf book and go to sleep. 

Have planned walks for next week: 
Monday - Wayne
Tuesday - Laura
Wednesday - Luke

Also, busy social calendar:
Monday - Quiz night
Thursday - Wine Club (still need to find a good wine for under £10)

Problem is that one thing I did plan to do, I didn't - Active Proposal.

Need to concentrate! Then again, my life is not a to do list. 
Just googled the picture on the left, and there is this 'my stop-doing list' and maybe that is something that is very useful. Maybe I should do a list like that? 

Ok, it is time to switch off screen. I am being really good at this screen time lately. (Apart from yesterday, when I binge watched The Challenge most of the day!) Especially before bed, at least an hour of no blue light. And it feels that it actually helps with my sleep. Then again it might be the fact that my circadian rhythm is constant 6am wake up time and 9.30pm bed time every day. Also the fact that there is walking and fresh air involved every day is also very good. And healthier diet! I am very proud of myself for sticking to it. Best thing is, I can see the results - leggings that I bought while in Latvia over JustFab and didn't fit at all! :( in July. They fit me perfectly now! Whoop whoop.

Day 26 - March 04

How the fuck did I miss a day again?
Should I just stop counting? Grrrrrrr....

Fine. Anyway.

Here’s a book I’m reading..
It has a different view on savings, houses as assets and couple of other things, comparing to Dave Ramsey. So let’s read and learn.

Day 24 (missed 23)

hahaha.. this turns into a pattern..
every couple of days I miss a day..

yesterday was fun, not too productive, but quite social..
early morning with Jolanta, late morning walk with Laura and Moka..
little workout, lunch and chilling with Netflix..
delicious fish for dinner and a work quiz night..

this morning was kinda productive.. i sent through the printer i sold.. and got the money already..
and spent 30 minutes listening/learning french on the app.. second day in the row! look at me!

today would have been a good to day to get back into running, but it's so cold out there.. let's see how i feel in about three/four hours..

also, good point from my mom. at this time, i don't actually do much so there is not much to write about, so i should write everyday, but post it every couple of days.. i guess that is true, but i will get through the 30 days of blogging! 

fingers crossed!

p.s. update - went for a run. just 2km. but it felt good.

Talk the talk, walk the walk /

New year, new me has never really worked for me. Or maybe it has.  At least this year, me and Ruta tackled the monthly challenges to get in...
