HHPBC Day Thirty

Day 30: Did you meet your goal that you set on day 10? It’s okay if you didn’t, how can you take positive steps forward to meet your goal in the future?

I didn't meet my goal. But I did increase the amount that I have been doing yoga and drinking tea so I'm happy. 

I just need to keep trying for consistency if I want to get to the point where I am drinking tea and doing yoga everyday.

Day 30: Did you meet your goal that you set on day 10? It’s okay if you didn’t, how can you take positive steps forward to meet your goal in the future?

No, I don't believe I did. I may have overslept a few times and felt like throwing in the towel/hiding from the world indefinitely.. but the goal is still in sight and I know I still have some fight left in me. I can still finish strong and achieve what I want to achieve in my end of semester exams.

Day 29: What have you learned throughout this challenge?

That I mess up a lot - but that is OK because sometimes I can laugh about it, and most of the time I learn something.

I still stuck with it and I followed through and here I am on the last day of the challenge dusting myself off and feeling ready for the next one. 

(What challenges are people doing for December? Anyone want to refer my to more challenges as awesome as this? I have one - #BKTYchallenge - but I am open to more. December is hard.)

Day 28: Something you want to achieve in the next year?

I want to complete my bachelors in psychology because it's been my dream since I was about 15 and you know, it's only taken me over ten years to get in any way close to it, so yes.

I also want to go back to the same amount of self belief I had when I was 15, and the drive, and the fire.

So really, in the next year I want to go back to being like I was when I was 15.

And that is my goal.

Thank you for reading.

HHPBC Day Twenty-Nine

Day 29: What have you learned throughout this challenge? 

That to get better about talking about myself I need to practice it. I don't often like to draw attention to myself. I would much rather have other people take center stage. That has changed over the past few years since I left high school. Still I would much prefer to prompt somebody else to take the conversation. This challenge has prompted me to think and talk about myself and I think it has made a difference. 

I've also managed to finish this challenge and having responded to each days question, maybe not on the day but they are done.

HHPBC Day Twenty-Eight

Day 28: Something you want to achieve in the next year?

I want to finish my university degree, I'm not sure what I'll do after that but I want to finish it on time and hopefully with good enough marks that I can get into a post grad course if I decide that is what I want to do.

My long term fitness related goals in 2015 are to weigh 70 kilos in December, and to do a colour run (5k).

HHPBC Day Twenty-Seven

Day 27: Favourite breakfast meal

At the moment my favourite is Belvita with a glass of milk. I do love oats during winter and I recently went back to having weat-bix with boiling water and some white sugar sprinkled on top.

Day 27: Favourite breakfast meal.

My first thought was a full Irish breakfast, and honestly that is my favourite. I couldn't eat it every day, but yeah.. 

Sausages, rashers (that is bacon to most of you), black pudding, white pudding, fried egg, grilled tomato, mushrooms, baked beans, potato farl, hash browns, potato cake, fried potatoes, toast, real butter..

Not all of these things need necessarily be on the plate but the first five are standard and I like to add at least baked beans and sweet charred tomatoes. And toast. And Orange Juice. And then Tea. 

God I want that so bad now..

When I am not craving a mountain of meat and grease, I genuinely love (and feel so nourished by) porridge oats. Oats. Oatmeal. So versatile. I like it with a swirl of jam, I like it with honey and banana. I like it with fresh berries. I like it, and I clearly haven't experimented enough with it..
