Day 9/183: Weekly Goal Check-in (3/52)

[nanila]

This was a busy weekend. Amongst other things, we went for a 6.6 km walk through a bog in Leicestershire (see photo).

• Survive Brexit. Still surviving. DONE
  
  
• Go to the gym twice a week. I went on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. 3/2 DONE
  
  
• Don't eat meat at lunchtime. All vegetarian lunches eaten. DONE
  
  
• Consume meat at evening meals a maximum of three times per week. No meat on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday. DONE
  
  
• Consume alcohol once per week at most. Have confirmed that this is not going to work, as I don’t want to give up drinking socially. I went out with friends on Wednesday night and had rum cocktails, and then the bloke’s cousin came over on Friday night for a curry, with which we had wine. I also had one glass of wine last night. NOT DONE
  
  Next week, this will be re-worded as “Consume alcohol once per week socially and once at home.” That’s achievable.
  
  
• Leave 3 comments per day on LJ and DW on other people's posts. Succeeded every day. I think I’ve managed double on at least a couple of occasions. I don’t want to increase the goal, though, as it’s nice having it still be achievable on the days when I don’t get to it until after 10 PM. DONE
  
  
• Write one community post per month. Already DONE for January. Posted to common_nature a second time, as I was very excited that we now have a bullfinch as a regular visitor to our thistle seed feeder.
  
  
• Read more than ten new books this year. I can’t continue with Kamila Shamsie’s Home Fire; it’s just too raw. I read some more of Uncommon Knowledge. 2/11. PROGRESS MADE.
  
  
• Reduce Facebook checks from once a week to once a month. I checked this week because there was Family Drama. I’m not sure my check did anything to help, but at least I’m up to date on the status. DONE
  
  
• Eliminate the two phone games I still play. I think I can safely say I’ve quit Pokemon Go. I can’t quite bring myself to quit the other game yet. I’m giving myself an amnesty until after the first week of next month, for Reasons, but then I shall quit for good. PROGRESS MADE

We were out on the paths today too and cledgy just about describes it! See my latest.

It's very slippery on the towpath at the moment! I enjoyed your latest. :)

I find your goal check posts inspirational. Keep up the good work.

[falena]

Also, congrats on meeting most of your goals.

\o/ Thank you! I'm hoping that repetition will be habit-forming for these.

My toddler would have loved splashing around that puddle. Sounds like a lovely walk out!

[nanila]

It would be a great puddle if you were wearing full waterproofs. Everybody else got wet socks. :P It was fun though!

Good work on the goals. I really wish I had more self discipline!

[nanila]

Thank you! Heh, the self-discipline waxes and wanes. :p

[corvidology]

I really like the blend of goals you have here.

[nanila]

Thank you. They are so far proving reasonably achievable.
