I have two goals I would like to reach on Twitch this year!

I have two goals I want to reach on my Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/breakmydreams/ this year.

1) Reach 100 followers so that I can be a Stream Raiders captain (I am currently 22 followers away from this goal).

2) Reach Twitch Affiliate (still need to reach an average of 3 viewers for that first).

Stressed out about when my lease ends at the end of June 2023

I really want my next place to be a long-term place I can call home and not have to worry about moving after a few months to a year. It isn't fun, it is stressful. My current lease ends at the end of June 2023 (my birthday 🎂 month) and I'm pretty sure I have to move when it ends, because the owners were talking about how they wanted to sell it before I moved in, but decided not to only because of the one roommate upstairs that wanted to stay here for her last year of college. I wish I had a friend (just one) that would be willing to get an apartment together for a couple years so I felt like I had a home again. I'm trying to figure out my realistic goals to work on the next few months (this year) that will get me ready for when my lease ends at the end of June. One of those has to be saving up the money to move, saving up the money for the next down payment on the next room (want something more then that though), and start looking for a new place/room now to see what's out there now. I need to try and avoid being close to my lease ending and not having a place till the last minute (like this last time) or not having a place at all (like in 2020). I don't want to be homeless or close to being homeless again. Its too stressful. Its times like this I wish I had a boyfriend to help with expenses and get a better living arrangement *sighs* but honestly not sure I want a boyfriend again yet...because I kinda like being single, but guys are kinda complicated as well *sighs*

2023 Goals (As well as just goals I have in general)

So there are a couple of goals that I want to give myself to work on this year.

~ Work on driving my moped more (I don't want it just sitting around wasting the money I spent on it. As well as, I do want to and need to get more driving experience on it as well as in general. I do need to work on driving in new areas and seeing what they are like as well as down roads, I'm not that big of a fan of, because I need to work on feeling better on those roads.)

~ Not messing up at work (getting another part time job that pays the same or more...if I can't find a full time job that pays better again) as well as just not slacking off, etc...)

~ Building my savings and stocks up again (I want to have money for the future as well as emergencies, etc... again.)

~ Not breaking down and losing myself or the progress that I have made since moving to and living in Richmond, VA on 1/18/19.

~ Getting more driving experience in a car, so that I can go to the DMV and get my license.

~ Getting my own place (one that isn't just renting a room, but is actually my own space again...I miss actually having a place to actually call home and it actually feeling like home.)

~ Working on getting my weight and health back to a good place where I have energy and feel happy with myself again (had that in 2019, then slacked off in 2020 to now and it needs to stop.)

These are just the ones that I can think of right now, but there are more that I am working on currently from years past as well as that I want to work on in general for what I want in life.

2022 Goals

I want to help get myself back on track with making progress and achieving goals I still have and want to make happen.

I also really want to make 2022 a better year for me like what 2019 was for me. Because honestly 2020 and 2021 sucked for me and were horrible (but talking about that can be done in a different journal entry), because I want to keep this one focused on my goals and progrss and positive.


----------

1) Take working a job more serious then I have been the last 2 years

2) Save money (for a house...car...moped...apartment...and emergency fund in general)

3) Get a moped (then work on getting a car in another year)

4) Get my own place (can start with an apartment first, but I really want to own my own house)

5) Start setting up plans better for starting my own local dungeon (like what LF was) here in Richmond

6) Go out and do things more for fun again

7) Continue to work on becoming more independent and responsible

8) Get my weight/health back on track (ride my bike again)

9) Look into maybe dating (they have to be single and experienced in the DDLG lifestyle)

10) Look into getting to meet my 3 nieces (for the first time) and seeing my nephews again as well as my sisters and dad

I'm so behind on my blogging on here again :(

I was doing so good with it for awhile again :) 

But I feel off track with it because I started going downhill with my behavior towards myself and others in my life and that led to me dealing with really bad depression for a little over a month :( 

I would try and go back and catch up, but that is alot to post about, so I think instead I will do it in a way where it is all in one post with what I missed and then just try and stay on top of my blogging better after I get that posted for you all. Because I really am trying to get back on track blogging on here since I love to blog for you all and help you all earn money, coupons, freebies, etc... as well as share what is going on in my life in general. 

I am currently working ubereats full time, but I'm looking into going back into housekeeping at a hotel full time again so I will be doing ubereats part time when I do that. As well as my other earning ways will go back to part time and not be full time like they are now. 

I do know I do want to get to where I can just work ubereats full time as well as my other earning ways. Because I love having the freedom to enjoy the day and be my own boss. 

But I do have goals I want to accomplish this next year, that I haven't done yet in the last two years and having a full time job that pays me more and allows me to save more right now is what I need to make those goals happen, then I can work on working my other jobs online and ubereats full time and be my own boss as well as work on going part time in housekeeping at that point just to help keep some extra money coming in. 

Workout Goals/Challenges for the week of 3/27/16 to 4/2/16

My two workout goals are:

~ Walk 30 minutes 3 days a week!
~ Walk 3,000 steps in a day 3 days a week!


Well, last week I only was able to make my goal of 3,000 steps one day and I didn't complete the 30 minutes goal.
That is according to what I am using to keep track of my workout goals and steps, but I know I have done more some days, so it isn't always accurate, but that is ok, because it helps get me more active and then this Easter weekend while a friend was over I worked out to Just Dance 3 on the Xbox 360 and Kinect Adventures games on the Xbox 360. As well as going to Celebration Station and walking around and playing games and whatnot. So, I got a great workout this Easter weekend.

Also, want to say it is frustrating to try and workout and eat and whatnot since it feels like my colitis is getting worse and worse each day, but I keep trying to push through it and fight it, because I want to get my weight down out of the 200's by the end of the year.

Workout Goals and Challenges for for the week of 3/20/16 to 3/26/16

Of course as you know from my post from last week, my two goals are:

~ Walk 30 minutes 3 days a week!
~ Walk 3,000 steps in a day 3 days a week!

Also, as you know, from last week I made my goal last week for the first time which was exciting since with my colitis, and other health issues, it is hard to do, so if I can do my goals again this week, that would be awesome, but if not, that is ok, so long as I can see that I am being active most of the week :) Because that is a good thing and will eventually get me to my long term goal for the end of the year with where I want to be :) Yay :)

Bad day yesterday :(

Had a bad day yesterday with my colitis pain and accidents, so I didn't get to workout yesterday  
I also binged (well to me it was binging, because I can't eat much anymore with my colitis and always being bloated and nauseous) on food and I felt bad about it because I knew I didn't work off any calories all day, like I had the first three days with being back on here  
I didn't even drink water yesterday  

With all that yesterday, I'm not letting it set me back today. Even though I couldn't sleep tonight with insomnia and my colitis pain getting higher  

I am determined to get at least a ten minute workout in today and not eat so much again today, because I don't want to gain back the 5 pounds I lost since the beginning of the year, especially since I want to get my weight down a few more pounds before I go back to my GI doctor on June 2, 2014. 

Not to mention I want to get down 10 pounds by September 5, 2014 when I go to brain injury camp with my cousin again. I need more energy because we walk a lot at camp and I don't like not having energy to do the walking or enjoy it, since walking is my preferred exercise. 


Do you have any goals you are working on? 
If yes, then what are they? Are you doing good with your goals? 
If no, then why don't you? 

Getting back on track using SparkPeople

I am now as of yesterday working on being active on SparkPeople to help get me back in track with getting back in shape and feeling better about myself again.

I have lost 5 lbs. since the beginning of the year, as of yesterday :) So, that makes me very happy, but I want to do better and actually see progress with my weight loss more in person then on the scale every few months when I go to the doctor.

I go back to the doctor in 6 months (so November 2014) and I want to have lost at least 10 lbs. by then because the doctor didn't seem impressed with my weigh loss of 5 lbs. :( Even though I was very happy to see that.

Starting Weight: 290
Current Weight: 271.2 (As of 5/15/14)
Lowest Weight: 130
Goal Weight: 170

Also, here is a starting photo, so that I can work on seeing progress again through photos, because it is motivation for me. Photo was taken on 5/11/14. So, I will update it again on 6/11/14 to see if I notice a difference in my looks. I will wear the same clothing that day as well.

I have simple exercise goals of starting with working out in the morning and working out for 10 minutes everyday, if not more. Also, I am working on kicking out soda from my diet again and adding more water with crystal light into my diet again.

Also, when I go to my GI doctor in June, I am going to try and find out if I have  a gluten intolerance and if I do, then I will be going gluten free as well, to see if that helps with my chronic stomach pain.
