Weekly Goal Tracking: Week 1 in Review

Fixes identified this past week:

• Focus on twice daily review/planning sessions
• Keep coffee simple - coffee with cream
• Keep nutritious breakfast items on hand and get up early if I need to leave early for work.
• Hot beverage with coconut oil for midday fix if not enough time to eat.
• Think of emergency meal work arounds
• Omelets, egg scrambles?
• Turn everything off at 9PM to get ready for bed.
• Stay consistent with exercise - even a half-assed 1 round of workout (see last Thursday, I was amped up all day) improves my mood.
• Foam rolling at the end of the evening
• Use my journal when I am tempted by emotional foods - candy, processed snacks, etc.
• Work on consistency of sleep/wake times, even over the weekend.
• I need to work on the daily review/planning step twice daily
• Do not seek out new systems. ZTD is what we are focusing on now. Simplify, simplify, simplify.

Week 2:

Goal 1 - Dialing In My Food, Sleep and Exercise - Down to 140lbs or 26" by June 2016

    Physical Activity - I am very proud of the progress I made last week. Look at that consistency! I feel like I need a scatter chart to track this over the long term!

     Food - Here was our menu plan from last week vs. actual consumption

Menu Plan

Actual Consumption

The Potato soup was next up on the menu plan after Tuna Salad, so that was still on track. I'm seeing still a lot of crap food (Tuesday morning, Wednesday evening, Sunday). Next week should focus more on a just high-quality meat and veggies. 

     Sleep - Goal of 8-9 hours of sleep a night

I'm on a good track, I just need to focus on consistency (*ahem* weekends!). I hate the feeling of waking at 1PM and knowing you've slept most of the day away! My dream is to have the same morning schedule on the weekends (exercise and all) as I do on the weekdays.

Measurements: I took my measurements this morning, for tracking purposes.

     Waist (no air): 28.5"
     Waist (relaxed): 30"
     Bust: 37"
     Hip: 39.5"

Goal 2 - Earn $500/month on the side by March 2016

     Well, I should have checked with Aaron on which courses we had completed already. This week we watched #3 and #4, so the below will be our goal for the week of 1/11-1/17.

Goal 3 - Pass the PMP certification test by September 2016

     This week, I researched the next class at PSU that I want to attend, noting the dates and time commitment.

Goal 4 - Develop a home management system that is usable in small doses every day

     One of the worst habits we have (not cleaning the kitchen) is getting heavy focus. It feels great!

Goal 5 - Develop a personal appearance system

   This past week focused on Uniform 1. I kept makeup minimal with Makeup Look 1. I tend to rotate through the hair looks. Aaron got me hot rollers, so that will be a new look to try!

Not sure this needs to be reported on weekly, but these charts have really helped me to define what sort of style I have. Will report back monthly if I update them.

Goal 6 - Continue 2015 goal of Debt Payoff by 2018

     We paid $1k toward the top card, below. There is about $1600 left on it.

• $2667 on my 20.99% card (this will be down to about $1k soon)
• $2152 on my 12% card
• $11,400 at 11% interest on our honeymoon/visit for Grandma Smith's funeral loan.
