I've got a few 2019 goals but the main one right now is to get into a master's program.

@Hazer: 3AM walks?!?!? @.@

Hmm. I know I want to start actually working out. I was already overweight and put on like 30lbs. I've lost 5, but it's taken like 3 months and the weight is starting to take a toll on my bod. I don't care about how I look so much as the fact that I've started puffing going up the stairs.

I've also been ignoring my art. Like hardcore ignoring it. I played with my new Twelfth Night gift Copics for like an hour or two and haven't touched them since.

So I'm gonna say for bod goals:

1. Walk for 30 more minutes a day, even if it's 3 min here and there up and down the hall.
2. Start lifting weights again, even if it's with water bottles or refilled milk jugs.
3. Start listening to people who say it's okay to jiggle while you work out and do general living activities, as opposed to those who say "hide until you're not gross" (I'm not gross you jerks) or "don't work out if it hurts even the tiniest bit" (hahahaha How's that working for you now?).

Art goals:
1. Art at least once a week even if it sucks. (It's for my pleasure anyway!)
2. Learn how to draw a new thing. Any new thing.

@Onyx Popcorn: lifting is the best 🏋️‍♀️
It seems boring and repetitive but idk why it's just nice. Good luck tho! enjoy the burn

@hazer: I see but... sleeping? D:
I can see how that's nice but also... hopefully you live in a good neighborhood ^^;

@Ixora: Agreed! It's fun if I'm doing it right. :3 I just gotta get back into it. I might start with that, actually.

@Onyx Popcorn: definitely. I just came back from gym actually. Thought I was gonna die at a few points but it was great!
Yeah the starting is the hard part but the burn always feels nice :D like a good kind of pain XD

It's very satisfying. >w< Nothing like a good stretch and a hard burn to make me feel like I did something for myself.

I have many issues, gender things among them
I also have a ballet obsession and an unhealthy interest in Sonic the Hedgehog games. Take as you will, haha!

Let’s see... I want to join a volleyball or badminton club, draw art more frequently, open an art shop on here, maybe open commissions for rlc, complete some video games, watch lots of anime, and read every day. Think that’s about it. > o> Maybe acquire a full-time job? o uo; Hasn’t been going so well though..

-Get in better shape (lose fat, build muscle, take better care of my skin and hair)
-Be more productive (finish projects, start new ones, get things done, stay on top of important adult stuff)
-Find a new job (not sure right now what that could be, but I'm keeping an eye out)
-Take care of other stuff that has yet to be addressed for various reasons (legal stuff, mental/emotional health stuff, and other serious business)

I would say "get moved out", but that's been my goal for literal years now and I'm stuck waiting on other people to do their part before it becomes a possibility. But as soon as it does, that's goal number one. The other stuff will be a lot easier to achieve once that's out of the way.

Alright! It's February-
Here's my 1 month update since I technically started these goals several weeks prior to posting them.

1. I've upped my running/jogging/walking from sitting on the couch to 2.5 miles. However, my knee is throwing fits right now so my times stink. I suppose the distance is what matters first and the times will come.
2. I'm not sure if I've lost any weight or not, but my time of the month left me significantly less bloated than usual for that and I can only attribute that to more water consumption and a more active lifestyle!
3. Going Strong on caring less about things that don't matter!
4. I've cut out most of my cokes and only get one if I'm at a restaurant. I drink more tea to help with caffeine, but it's not as bad as a coke for sure.
5. I've read 4 books so far this 2019. :D
6. still working on the decluttering! books and clothes have been totally downsized and the kitchen is going down next.



I'd love to hear updates from everyone else!

Please ping! I get distracted easily.

uhhh updates let's see...

-Been trying to get in more vegetables, eat less overall, and be more strict about avoiding artificial colors/flavors and other stuff I'm not supposed to be eating. No real progress on the exercise front yet. Got some new, more natural products for skin/hair and being more diligent about using them.
-Opened up to start some new stuff. Got one art commission, in the process of finalizing the information so I can start working on it after the weekend. Haven't finished much else, but did some sketching off and on in my free time, which is more than I've done in a while, so I guess it's something.
-Haven't done much job searching yet, but going to start looking again and digging through anything I've previously bookmarked, especially now that my current job has changed its attendance policy to be downright hostile toward people (like me) who get sick frequently. Still going to go through with trying to get intermittent leave granted in the meantime, though, as I don't know how long it will take to find something new.
-Legal stuff and other big issues haven't really been touched yet. Still trying to hold out for my house, which hasn't made any progress in getting finished despite repeated attempts to contact people and ask about it. Unfortunately, this is outside my control, so all I can do is continue to wait.
