1. So far this is been hard. I've been successfully doing this off and on. It's nice to wake up that extra 10 minutes, because it allowed me to prepare at least a decent breakfast. I really need to stop snoozing. Or move my iphone far away so it forces me to move my ass to turn it off. HMMMMMMMMMM.
2. So far I'm pretty on it. I didn't juiced last Friday because I had to drive to Santa Barbara for Adam's birth. Other than that, I think I missed about 3 days so far of juicing. Fact: Don't put too much ginger in your juice. It burns your throat! Damn
3. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. That's all I can say. (meaning: FAIL)
4. So far I've been doing good on this department. I try my best to pray before I fall asleep and first thing in the morning when I wake up... At least to say grace. Once in awhile I would throw a secret praying in between activities of the day. I like talking to God freely.
5. I'm still on the hunt for this. Shamelessly I fell for Mother's suggestions and bought me a Marc by Marc Jacobs bag while on the way home from Santa Barbara. I stopped by at Camarillo Fashion Outlet and hung out at Off 5th Saks. DAMN. But, the purse I got was a steal (or not). I saved 48% off of retail price. They were having a sale. Woo. I might have to bump boots for October's goal. Shame on me.
Does anyone have goals for September? How's your progress so far?
As I listen to my Boyband Playlist on Spotify (I'm a true 90s Pop Fangirl), and after reading Melissa's September List (Insert Sarcastic Remark Here), I was inspired to start my own list.
I love making lists. I love making them, but sometimes I hate accomplishing them. It's not you, it's me. Since things in this list are not something like major, they're like little things that I think I should be able to accomplished. Nothing hard, you know.
As I serenade myself to NSync's "This I Promise You", let me explain each goal (feel free to hum along)
1. Wake Up 10 minutes Early for Work - I'm the QUEEN of snooze. I purposely set my alarm 30 minutes earlier so I can snooze. Sometimes I would actually sleep in an extra 5 minutes after the final (countdown) snooze, thinking, "Ah I can make it to work on time." But shit, I'm like rushing to get ready and I would end up not having a proper breakfast. I NEED A PROPER BREAKFAST. And I believe this is why I can not put off the weight. I would just grab whatever I see in the kitchen (or in the office at work, which usually involves SWEETS) and chug coffee for energy. SAD. 10 minutes makes a huge difference. I must do this! Which means, I have to sleep earlier... Hmm... With all the blogging and bloggers to read... This would be hard. I MUST DO THIS.
2. Juicing for Dinner between Mon - Fri - So far I've been doing okay with this, but I want to maintain it. I've feel a little bit different after I started juicing. I just need to stick with it and watch what I eat. I feel a boost of energy, but I still get tired at work (It's from all of the sugars I eat). I would skip juicing on the weekends since it's hard to juice when your out and about. Which leads to...
3. Limit the Sugar Intake - This is a MAJOR struggle for me. I love Sweets. Read: I LOVE BREAD & PASTRIES. I work in a department where all of us love to eat. Haha. Actually LOVE TO EAT SWEETS. Almost everyday at work someone will bring donuts (oh SNAPS), bagels (kill me now!), or bake a cake (this is for reals. Cake for breakfast and 3 o'clock coffee break). When I was Vegan in February of this year, I was able to manage not eating them yummy poisons. I got to put it in my mind that they are YUMMY POISONS. Cmon... I can do this for 1 month...
I don't really like to talk about religion on my blog, but prayer is pretty broad. I don't care to whom you pray to (God, Universe, Mother Nature, Allah, Hindu gods, etc), but I believe prayers are powerful. And I'm a believer that you got to pray in any situation and condition. Like the statement above, if you only pray during trouble times OR when you need/want something, there's something wrong. I was raised that you should pray during happy moments and during difficult times. And I know, I've been lacking in the happy-moments-prayer department. And I've been bad on praying before I go to bed. I want to start at least meditating for 5 minutes before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning.
5. Purchase a decent pair of Boots - I'm a fan of biker/combat boots.
That's my ideal Fall Fashion (again, I rarely talk about fashion). Skinny Jeans (which probably won't fit me *sad* Replace with leggings?), Flannel Shirt or Cardigan with a Tank Top underneath, with some really cool boots. I've been telling myself every Fall to get a legit pair of boots (like Frye) but it never happens. I ended up buying one from Forever 21 that doesn't last the whole season. I need solid one that lasts for a while. I know Frye is a great brand, but damn they're pricey. But hopefully I'll get one this season. (Hello, Pillow... I love you... Get me One!) I really can not wait for Autumn :)
So what are your goals for this September 2012? At the end of the month, I will post the results. Did I achieve any or none, we'll see by the end of September. Gosh, I hope I accomplish some!!!
