I felt the need to title this blog with my numbers as I haven't been recording them on here as of late. I also haven't been as on top of this blog as I would like. That's ok though. I've actually really started to notice that my top half is toning up so I've been trying to push myself more... and that extra push has tired this poor lady out.
Which brings me to the theme of this entry.
Budgeting.
Not just for bank accounts people!
No. Budgeting is something I really want to work on in all aspects of my life. A little measure system to keep track of me, my progress, my energy, my food, my banking... my... life essentially.
Budgeting is something I need to do in my own brain space to divide it into sections so that I can make a little brain shaped pie chart into what matters - how much I need to worry about it... and so on. I need to budget fun, reality, work ethic... passion and love into there. I need to make sure I pick up a new play and read it and learn a monologue - JUST for fun to hone my craft and keep it up so that when I get an audition... it's already work that is budgeted into my life... so extra worry isn't exerted unnecessarily. If something throws off my little balance system now EVERYTHING seems to go out of wack. I get mad at CN (sorry love) I get grumpy at work.. and I feel like a failure - alllll because one measly little thing didn't fit into my life budget. I want to work on that and be more easy going.
If we're really talking numbers wise. I need to reel in my habits. Granted - that whole car situation did not treat my poor visa card well. It's racked up a fair amount of evil debt that really wears a poor girl down. I want to be able to be in control of my Visa by spring. I think that is a fair goal. To do this I need to put a fair chunk of change towards my good friend Visa every (little itty bitty) paycheck. I can't rely on the money I'm supposed to get back from my car insurance agency - as I have no idea if or when that's actually coming. Yes - my case was dropped and my license will be cleared. However... it's been 10 days and my license still has the ticket on it... so i'm still throwing money into my savings State Farm pot (479.00 people) until this all goes away. I've thrown over 2 grand into that stupid car... over this stupid ticket.. and I want it to die. I want it to go away and never come back. I want to have that money back... and get back in control of my life. Capishe? Rawr. Anyway... as I said... I don't know when that will come to me. Sooooooooooo here's to being responsible and hey - if and when that cheque arrives... hello Mexico.
Gym wise. I talked about head wars.. and those are still happening. It's natural for me to get a little rough on myself if I neglect the gym. So... i reckon if I aim for 3 gym sessions a week... then that's fair. I have been consistently hitting the gym 3-4 times a week since the end of October - so I know that that is a goal I can keep. I would like to gain some distance and run further in my hour runs. This is a better goal for me then trying to push for more gym time. It's not how many hours I rack up - it's how effectively I use those hours I have. Quality over quantity.
Love wise. Friend wise... Family... I'm happy. I'm happy to be spending Christmas in Toronto with my love. A part of me will be a little bummed Christmas morning knowing my fam is together without me... but you know what? Life involves changes... and changes are exciting! I'm making my own family. My Toronto family. My own roots. Those are just as important if not more so.
Laaa ddeeee daaa... sooo with that ladies and gents... I'm out! Hopefully not for long. I plan on budgeting more time into my life to blaaaaahhhhhg it out.
Happy ho ho!
