Okay well this week was a fail.
I wouldn’t say an epic fail.
And I definitely wouldn’t say a fail in comparison to many other weeks I have lived in my life.
But it was a fail in the way that I set goals that I did not achieve.
I am not trying to be negative here I am actually trying to be reassuring and optimistic but I do want to let you if you are reading these and keeping up to date with them and also myself aware of what exactly happened, how I have grown as a person and where I need to go from here.
So I started the week out like I always do I sat down on Sunday and did my week 7 blog post and then I went and did my week 8 weekly planner. Pretty much exactly what I am doing right now but this was for last week.
So I set myself plenty of goals which include:
Go for a walk every day. That didn’t happen.
Go to the gym on certain days. That surprisingly did happen and more.
Eat healthier. That did not happen.
Have a no spend week. That 10000% did not happen.
Looking back at these goals, I really took a moment to reevaluate myself, my lifestyle choices and decisions that I made.
One
Why didn't I walk everyday?
I worked out the reason I did not walk everyday is because over the last month or so walking on the cement has really started to give me incredible shin splints. Having these shin splints is deterring me from wanting to walk however when I thought depper about this, I am not getting these shins splints when I walk on the treadmill hence my extra visits to the gym this week.
Two
Why didn't I eat healthier?
Think about this I felt my mind flood with excuses and excuses and they are so see through that it disappointed me beyond all means. So to be completely honest I really don't know why I didn't eat healthy. I shopped healthy I meal prepped. I just blatantly decided that I was going to go out and get sushi instead. This was bad for both aspects the eating aspect and the spending money aspect.
Three
Why did I spend money?
Looking back I really don't know why i went crazy and spent money this week I think it was because part of my whole new budgeting system I have money in the account ready to pay of big bills and I felt the need to spoil myself with the leftover money I had saved instead of continuing to save. This has not only affected me negatively in the long run but also in the short run because I am now heading into week 2 or a fortnightly pay check and I have no choice but to do a no spend week this week. Naughty Ebony but also now you've got a challenge.
Other things I got up to this week included:
Filming videos
Creating content
Starting and finishing a book
Book hunting for my next book
Working
Did an exam
Studied
Rested
That was the week that was, here's to the week that is coming.
