Daily check-in thread for November 15, 2007

slept in a little today but still got up at 8:30

5/5 for november

I have neglected posting, but have been getting up generally around 4:50 and doing the extra exercise. Going good on this one. I'm glad, because my previous time to get up was 5:00 and I was generally making it out of bed around 5:15-5:30. I'm enjoying the morning routine.

Eating Healthier - Success
Exercise - Walked 2 miles, a few reps at the gym (ouch) - Success
Study - Fail (need to work at putting this somewhere in a routine)

Had a bad night's sleep, feeling unwell today, taking the day off - from school and exercise. A Mental Health Day.

November: 10/12

I come into this day at {11 of 14 for November}.

Promise:

#3/4 Productivity/Visibility: Visible, public result (web page, blog, other form) with 2 or more hours of accomplishment.

Was about to pass on working out this morning, but pushed myself and got it done! woo!!

1. Morning workout completed! {3 for 3}
2. Caloric intake at 2000 calories {2 for 3}


Also went to a yoga class! 2 workouts in one day! woo!

Done!

I made it today 4/4

I come to you today with ... 10/15 - Exercised Today.

67% so far. I hope I can finish up this month going this strong!

not so much today. round of fire drills that looking back now, i should have figured out some way to delegate but it seemed so important to sort out myself...so it threw me off a lot and i didn't have much time at all to work on my own stuff. was there til 8:30...some days are good some not so good. tomorrow is a new day, i'll focus on my objectives, delegating and having a good attitude!

Success/success!

Take vitamins every morning before breakfast or lunch: Done.
Write 2000 words a day for NaNoWriMo: Done, and still ahead (the total is 28,650). I wrote one tiny sex scene, and then another rather disturbing one involving knives. This book, which focuses on a prostitute and a lush, is getting steamier than I like.

I just noticed that my outline is 29,000 words. Ha, so I am way ahead!

If you want, you can read about my motivation for the challenge.

Cut down on alcohol (drink if at all on special occasions): Done.
Cut down on sweets (cheat day is Saturday): Failed - there is still a lot of birthday cake left, somebody has to take care of it from time to time. ;)

Good progress writing today; 3:4.

EXERCISE: went to the gym (4/4)

DECLUTTER/CLEANING: organized my photo album, cleaned the drawer at work and my fridge at home(3/4)

Completed. That was a struggle, but I made it!

I end this day at {12 of 15 for November}

I completed 2 of 3 MITs again and moved one of my 3 projects ahead significantly. The MIT that got neglected was my academic writing, which I find very difficult to break down into smaller tasks, and it is a neverending fount of procrastination anxiety. Can anyone offer any insight on this?

Thanks again!
