Life Planning

-
Before I got out of the Army organization wasn't ever a daily task. The Army does everything for you; be here at 0630, wear this uniform because you'll be doing this until 1600 where we will have a formation for the end of the day. Never had to plan my weeks, but now I do and I love it. Without my planner, I would forget everything. Yes you can set reminders on your phone, but it's something about the creativity and physically writing everything down. Not only do I have a monthly calendar, where I can write in each of my daily tasks, but a weekly where I can note my nutrition, workout, and hydration. I am very into fitness, and I will get to that in the next few blogs. 

 Here are things I write on my monthly calendar for this coming month of June:

  • College; I write my due assignments in their perspective days, but also all the required reading in the days before so I can space my time out.
  • Blog; I plan my blog out weekly, so I know what to write about when that day comes rather than having to think about it all day.
  • Workout; currently I'm not doing anything workout, as I'm taking a week break, but starting Friday, June 1st I'm starting my own 100 challenge, so daily I write in the 100 challenge. (I'll get to that later).
  • Work; I write down my hours if I know them, and the days I have off.
Not only do I just write them down, they also have their own color so I know for sure this goes to my blog and this is work. Of course, it's obvious which is which, but it's more colorful. Why not be colorful? I also bought the stickers to the happy planner the fitness and productivity ones. No, I do not use the happy planner though, I have a better one! Cheaper too, with weekly Mon-Sun breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, and dinner. I'm big on meal prep, most days. So this is very helpful! It also has a space for workout, hydration and "feeling" on these pages. It feels amazing to look back and see how far you've come. If you would like to know which journal I have, comment below and I will let you know!

 Don't forget to come back Wednesdays to see how Gohan is doing; also my fitness and nutrition is on Thursday. :)

    I've always wanted to know more about using planners etc. IT's not a very British thing. DO let me know what journal/planner you use. And especially if it's a good price!

      It saves so much stress and craziness! It’s called lady boss momentum. It comes with 12 months blank so you can start whenever! Goals, quote pages, after the monthly there’s your 5 weeks per month with everything.

    Good Luck! I have spells where I'm good about writing down a plan, and then I just don't do it for awhile. Consistency is what I need to work on!

The Beginning of my Beginning

I, unfortunately, got married at the age of 18, to a boy I thought was "him". What girls, and guys, don't understand that at such a young age you haven't met everyone you're going to meet. Whether they are going to college, joining the military, traveling or even staying in their home state, you will meet someone new almost daily. Also, you change. Not only do you change physically, but mentally. Your brain doesn't fully develop until you're 25. That boy (and I say boy because we were both young and still teenagers) changed more than I did at first. The military is what changed us. It was his calling and mine, but because our paths didn't stick together there was no way WE as a married couple, could make it work. Divorced before I was even 20. How cute, right? Great way to start off a young adults life right? Well, honestly, I don't regret one thing in my past because it has given me the amazing path I am on right now, and there's no other way ...

Gohan!   Here is our little banana eating explorer, and my one true love, Robert! (If you read my previous blog, that's "him"!) We got him April 20, 2018 as a little hatchling. As soon as I put him in his home he immediately went to his food and started eating. For the next hour, he went from his home to his food, constantly. I could tell he was happy, couldn't make his mind up. Sleep or eat? At first, we had him in a small glass tank, and I knew it wasn't going to suit him because he was so active. We then made him (out of a Rubbermaid tote) a bigger enclosure!  Here you can see his whole enclosure. He has his food and water bowl, and he insists on climbing through his water bowl and I have to change the water almost every few hours. He also loves to take his food and prefers to eat on the ground. Here you can see he has carrots, but he had already eaten most of the romaine lettuce, so I cleaned it up. Next to his food is that long white thing, ...
