Well, things got off to a bit of a rocky start. But, I’m baby-stepping my way into this, and am not going to beat myself up about it. Even if I end up not meeting my goal at the end of the year, I will still end up closer than if I don’t track or try to be accountable to something or someone outside of myself. So, anyway, here are this week’s stats:

I wrote 2,814 words in my novel, and 2,218 words of fanfiction. This was over the course of 152 minutes and 7 seconds. (Yes, I have a timer app. Yes, I am ridiculous.) Which means that I averaged spending 21 minutes a day on this. I also added 1,645 words to my CYOA story on Twitter. Which brings my weekly word count to 6,677 words, which is about 954 words a day. Not a great start, but it IS a start.

I have started an exercise program that involves exercising three days a week. I chose Monday, Wednesday, and Friday as my days so as to avoid having to exercise on the weekends. I did this because when I work the weekends, those are my early days. Saturdays, I’m lucky if I have time to eat breakfast. Anyway… I did accomplish that. And, I’ve lost just over half a pound. Not much, but it puts me back under 180, so I’ll take it. And, this was after going to McDonald’s for dinner on Wednesday, and eating a whole frozen pizza on Thursday. (Also TMI, but my period started yesterday, which means my hormones are going nuts and today’s weigh-in might not have been the most accurate thing in the world.) This week’s diet goal is to drink more water, and by extension cut down on soda. It’s noon, and I’m not off to the best start on that, though.

Financial stuff, one week is just not enough time to notice any patterns. I’ll report on that monthly. I haven’t really been using my planner. I set it up, but then kind of ignored it. So, actually using that will also be one of my goals for this week. As for cleaning and organizing, I got my bathroom cabinets organized, at least. It’s a start.

So, that was last week’s accomplishments. This week’s goals are to finish this lesson in my schoolwork (4 questions left in the last practice exercise, and then the quiz). Write at least SOMETHING in both the novel and my fanfiction every day. Get in a couple blog posts – I’m not going to ask myself for an episode a day, yet, but I DO want to get back into it. I’m not going to set myself an organizing goal, other than to at least maintain what I have. (Which includes cleaning off my computer table, again.) I have a new book that I’ll be working through, but I’m not far enough into it to have an idea of the challenges and goals it sets for you.
