July Life Updates.

It has been over three months since I wrote my last post, I would say it is time for a life update.

On May 29th I turned 30. I never do much for my birthday and this year was no exception. My day consisted of taking my first spin class at BPM, which I loved! Once Aaron arrived hom from work we walked downtown to Kid Sister ice cream, after which watched Deadpool 2.

Fitness | Since that first class I have been attending spin pretty regularly. I have taken 17 classes so far and by the end of the Summer I will have attended at least 40. I have been doing my best to keep up with my lifts, but some weeks have been better than others. I had to reset my weights since I was being pretty sporadic and now I am working my way back up.

Health | 17 days ago I finally quit drinking. Not for good, but I will now only drink socially and responsibly. No more binge drinking! As a result I have been eating healthier and I have lost 3 pounds.

2018 Goals | Most of my goals have seen little to no progress. The only goal I have been working on every day is my Learn Japanese goal. I believe what is driving me to focus on this goal is our upcoming trip to Japan in 41 days. The other goal that has been carried over every year is my Learn to Drive goal. The only progress that has been made on this one is as follows; my Learners license expired 4 days ago and I went to ICBC to re-take the test today. An updated version of Learn to Drive is now Learn to Drive before my Learners License expires again in 2 years.

There you have it. Finally another update.

Goals for 2018: One Month Check-in.

It is time to check-in and see how I am doing with my 2018 goals.

Visit Japan. This goal is not going to come to fruition until September, but it is going to happen. As previously stated, we have purchased our plane tickets & accommodations, we are going. The end.

Escape Room. Nope, not yet.

Climb Mount Finlayson. Also, not yet.

Fly a Kite. We have yet to buy a kite, but is on our list. I feel like this one will happen within the next month or two.

Pickle Boat Pub Crawl. The Pickle Boat Pub Crawl season starts April 30th, so there is no way to accomplish this before then. We don’t have a day set, yet.

Meet my Goal Weight. This is always ‘in progress’. I weighed myself a couple of days ago and found out that I had gained 2 pounds. Let’s just say progress is slow. I need to plan my food and stay focused if I am going to meet this goal.

Learn Japanese.  I feel like I am doing well in this. I have been doing my Memrise every day. I have been quizzing myself in Kanji, Katakana, and Hiragana daily. I just need to keep doing what I am doing and then incorporate conversational Japanese.

Learn to Drive. This goal has not gone anywhere. I am going to pull out all of the excuses. Aaron and I have both been very busy with work. I have been working full time +. I need to make a plan for this goal and stick to the plan.

Be the Strongest I have ever been. This goal is going well. For future updates and now, I will just update my current weight and reiterate my goal weights;

Bench: 94 lbs Goal: 100 lbs

Dead Lift: 205 Goal: 250 lbs

Squat: 180 Goal: 200 lbs

Drink Less. Yeah, I better keep working on this.
