Goaliath: Achieve your ultimate goals with me

This week the General Jerk of Fogo cut my whole Saturday shift, so I have lowered hours and my paycheck is going to be quite small.  This is a mental challenge and a financial challenge that I'm going to have to figure out.  However, Adri got a new job at an AMAZING new facial spa!  So her income should increase, and her dreams and career are moving forward!  That is what perseverance, determination, and hard work looks like!<...

Another classic week on the grind, and my birthday was last Saturday!  It was such a relaxing, fun day off.  Sometimes it's hard to be fully present with a crazy schedule like this, but each week I try to be intentional and present in all of the important moments!  Like my birthday.

All of my financial obligations were fulfilled this week, and I even got an extra run and workout in!  So it was a nearly perfect theoretical week.  I felt a lot more tired this week because of it heh.  Only missed two ankle therapy sessions because I wanted to let it rest.  I'm looking forward to the next week!  We are doing really well all things considered.

Just another week logged in the books for our jourey to the Goaliaths!  I'm happy with how this week went, and I'm ready for the next!

This week came with a weird and tough mental load.  It was a tough week at work.  But my physical therapy for my ankle is going so well!  My ankle feels back to normal!  Now my goal is to make it feel better than ever!  I think it might actually be possible to completely heal my ankle after like 8 years with how fast this therapy has taken away the pain.  So ankle therapy is here to stay.

I forgot to say Happy Mother's day last week, so happy late mother's day!  This week was just a nice step along the path to our Goaliaths, and I also started doing ankle therapy again!  My ankle has just been so miserable the past couple weeks.  I needed to do something about it, so I've started the therapy and we'll see how it goes!

This was just a good, busy week!  This week I lay out a detailed map towards my goals.  Man, tlaking about the steps just gets me excited every time!  I can't wait to graduate school and actually start making measurable progress towards both goals!

Happy Easter Sunday!  Another week of hard work and showing up despite being sick!  But I can feel the fog is clearing and I'm almost out of the woods.  There are so many exciting things coming in life, there's no way I'm stopping or giving up!

I briefly felt like myself again this week, and then promptly got sick again before another Friday shift.  Ugh.  Not a fun couple of weeks but even during times like this I am keeping my goals in the front of my mind and I'm still showing up every day!  We WILL find victory!

My ankle and my digestive system tried to hold me back this week, but I will not be denied!  I'm still doing my best to show up every day to the journey towards my goals.

Even though my dedicated athletic goal is on hold at the moment, I'm still eating well, and I may have found a new hobby to keep me a little extra active!  Turns out I love rollerblading and I'm gonna get a good chunk of time in every week.  Also, I'm back at it again with my novel and world building!  I found some inspiration by looking back.

Another two weeks of hard work down!  Sorry for skipping another week, I have no excuse except I got distracted playing video games lol.  But I'm super proud of my career efforts!  I'm making progress!  I have my first certification!  Basically what this one means is that I can do HVAC work by myself at a job site, as long as I'm working under the umbrella of someone who has an official state contractor's certif...

The past two weeks have been jam packed with activity!  It's going to be hard to handle this schedule for 9 months but I know I can do it!  I really feel like I'm making cold, hard, progress towards my ideal life and these two goals!  Podcast updates are going back to Saturdays now due to my work schedule switch.  Man I love this life!
