Have a different life by this time next year

Alright, this goal is soon to be, well, not exactly finished, but one year will be over as of 6th December. So, I still got a few weeks left, but to summarize it:

- live happily in London, England
Won’t happen before mid-February (if I have passed the exam that is)

- work at my “job that doesn’t feel like a job”
Same as above (unless “Plan B” comes into effect)

- make a living in the job mentioned above
I wish…

- find myself a boyfriend (or, even better, be found)
Hm, yeah, well, I found someone with whom I have fallen in love with, but he is no longer available.

- lose 15 kg
I’m still at it, and have, thus far, lost 9kg (currently weighing 63kg).

All in all, I finished 1 1/2 goals (losing weight will be accomplished soon and the other half – at least I’ve fallen in love – it’s a start, isn’t it?)

But, I’ll keep going until I can tick off every single one of ‘em!

Hi all,
don’t know what actually happened to my last diet – I think I just ate normally again and kept my weight constant at 72kg. But, since I have wanted to become more skinny, I started another diet on 1st September. I’m still on it and, so far, I have lost 7kg and am currently at 65kg ^^ -> is very proud of herself. I plan to continue until I have reached my ideal weight at 58kg (I’m 1.68metres).

I have a great life now, I love my life, but there are things I want to change, for instance it’s saturday right now and I am cleaning the house, thinking about going to the gym and walking to the post box. I am alone at home as my partner is at work.
My house is so clean and tidy all of the time, dust hardly has time to fall before it’s cleaned up.
I have a few friends, but not too many, only two strong friendships so far, I have only lived in this country for almost 11 months, but I would like some more friends.
I would like to dress better but I am conflicted by the idea, that I have so many clothes already, even if they are old, why spend the money on new things.
I would like to dress and act with more confidence, I am feeling more confident and happy than I have been in a while, I want this to continue and be ridiculously positive.
if I work on these goals and others I can change my life slowly and surely.

I can’t say I’m ecstatic about this goal now being done. My life is different from when I set it; I have a job that’s much more in line with my values and what I find interesting, which are both important, I’ve lost my emotional life in what was, I think, a necessary ending of something essentially important to me, my whole concept of the world is turned on its ear, my relationships are different, and I scare myself with all the new (?) personality traits and desires and actions or words that are coming out of me. So this goal is not nice, not happy and not good for my sense of calm or comfort, no matter how necessary. I pray, though I feel like a child lost in an amusement park, that this is all evolving into something more, something brilliant and worthy and good after all these base, dirty, mystifying and frightening things. Pray for me, that it be so.

By August 10, 2010 I want:

-To be doing contract Motion Graphics and Editing work
-A larger, more positive and diverse social circle
-To have achieved my body building goals
-To be proud of my character
-My own place
-More adventure, travel, experiences, culture, hobbies, and most of all,
-More stories!!!

Pretty cut and dry. I’m not happy with where I am and that’s going to be fixed inside of one year.

currently I am working on my business plan and starting my business.but NOT working at the best pace I could be, I am also working in a very boring call centres, in a relationship of 11months, with a underacticve social life. My confidence and concern for my apperance has lessened and I am becoming to complicant with the current state I am in, yet whingin about it. This time nect year I want to be happy and content relaationship and social wise, and to have my business up and running, Looking forward to my birthday =)

I am really disappointed in my progress on this goal. Let’s see what I’ve done on my list from 17 months ago….

1. Have my own place – Nope…still living with the parents and I’m realizing that the only way I’ll get out is if I get a new job.
2. Have a different job – Nope…same place and they’ve hired more people for the little hours we have. Been keeping an eye out and have applied for a couple of jobs but nothing has happened.
3. Either be living in a different city or have traveled a bit..or both. – Kind of…still living in the same city. Did go on a cruise for a week but still want to do more travelling.
4. Be working on finishing my BA – Nope…I have been so unmotivated with this one.
5. Be in a long term committed relationship that’s good for me – Nope….and the one’s I thought were possible I don’t see happening.

Geez…have I done anything at all?!! I think I need to start actively working on and updating this goal.

So I finally applied to Italy for Master instead of Denmark. I got accepted, went to see the school in Triest and almost changed my mind – I was little bit afraid of the changes and tried to convince myself not to do – but finally I decided to go. So in October I’m moving to Italy for a while to study. It will be full time and it’s gonna be great I think.

Alright, first interim result. I was too curious, whether I’m actually losing weight or not, and decided to weigh myself about an hour ago AND… drum-roll I did lose some weight, but only 1.5kg xD I have to admit that I strayed from my path for 3 days and ate some bred in the evening; but I think it’s legitimate to eat more when you’re physically hard working for 9 hours.

Anyway, I’ll continue my diet and report back every two weeks. As I got a foible for lists, I’ll write down my way to look staggering ^{^^}

My progress:

74kg – Start
72.5kg – 12 February
71kg – 11 March

Okay, first update on this goal. I’m currently on a diet to get rid of those 15kg. It consists of:

• eating lunch (just a normal plate full – no fast food)
• a yoghurt (after lunch as dessert – 200g)
• two cups of milk (0.2 litre cups)
• and two apples for supper
• plus lots and lots and lots of mineral water (as much as I like)

That’s been my diet for a week now. I’m feeling great, and I don’t have any desire whatsoever to eat anything else in addition. I don’t eat/drink all of those things every day. Sometimes, I just skip my second cup of milk or my yoghurt or my apple. It’s just to have an upper limit.

My target is to keep going until the end of February and then I’ll weigh myself – to see how I’m doing. Otherwise I’d become too unpatient (if I weighed myself every two days or so) and just stop.

However, the great thing about this goal is that I’m basically not doing anything (except to keep an eye on my “eating plan”). It’s a goal which you can achieve the easiest by doing anything else but thinking about it.
