I'm doing 38 things
Life is truly funny, mysterious and very interesting. I’ve been with Erick for almost a year now. We’ve definitely had ups and downs, and certain problems, but overall we’re very happy and having a great time… !

How I did it
It made me
happy 
How I did it: I'm counting this goal as "done" because ... in a way, I did complete it. I was really, truly over him. That allowed me to get back in touch with him, and from there things flowed very easily and naturally and now we've been together for almost a year. But without that determination to "stay away" from him I wouldn't have gotten to a place where I could actually have a real relationship. I got over whatever pain and hurt an… Read how I did it…
It made me
How I did it: I have decided to call this done, because over the past year I don't think I have gone more than a few weeks without attending the gym. I always think about how important it is for me to do exercise, when I can't go for some reason, I miss it, and I find it really frustrating that I can miss a few days for a cold, and somehow those few days turn into a few weeks. But I always go back, so ... I think "starting to exercise again" is not an … Read how I did it…
How to buy small gifty things for my collegues at school, to say goodbye and thanks for all the help
It made me
happy
How I did it: I went to Walmart and when I passed through the candy isle, I stopped and started looking to see if there was something that would be a good gift - and I found these Hershey's Kisses - they are bigger than the normal ones, and they come in a box that says "thank you" or "i love you", and cost about a dollar. I took most of the ones that say thank you, and I will give them to my colleagues and bosses today. Read how I did it…

I’m not sure why but my motivation is going down. I felt really good last week, going everyday was really fine and I do have the time, in fact… I don’t get much else done during the week besides working and eating, and working some more at home, so a half hour to an hour at the gym really feels very productive.
I’m totally trying to obsess over this – I feel obsession will carry me through to making the habit.
I can’t miss a day – I’ve already set up my challenges. Going today will feel great (getting the week started off great!) and plus it’ll warm me up! It´s been really cold here this week, almost freezing. Ummmm extra motivational comments and cheers welcome!
6:54pm Going to the gym immediately after work felt wierd.. surreal… I think that means I´m not used to it. Plus, now that I’m home… I’m not sure what to do. I’m used to getting home and then thinking about going to the gym for an hour…
Ok, this week I did 6 days. I feel good – my goal isn’t to wear myself out, or to force myself to do something I don’t like – it’s to make exercise a daily part of my life. This week was a very light week, I didn’t have to work most of the week. Next week will be a little tougher, but the week after that will be the biggest challenge.
