July Review + XP Cash In
Month four is complete!
Remember, we're not here to beat ourselves up over our failures, but to celebrate our successes! With that in mind, please leave a comment on this post letting us know which July goals you accomplished, and also go back through the month and count up your longest consecutive run of substantial check-ins you had in a row (remember, "I did nothing"s don't count! a check-in should include at least one thing that you did that was positive that day). Round down to the nearest number of consecutive weeks you checked in, and then leave that number in bold at the bottom of your comment to earn your XP! Please also indicate how you would like that XP to be divvied up among characters. I'll do a fake example in mine below.
New goal post will go up shortly!
Check in for 1 week straight = 250xp
Check in for 2 weeks straight = 500xp
Check in for 3 weeks straight = 750xp
Check in for the entire month of July daily = 1000xp!

✔ lose 3 pounds
I've been carrying a lot of stress weight and stagnating while I've been trying to get school in order, but as things have been coming together, the weight has come off! I am now lower than where I was when I started in May, lost about 7 lbs this month. Some of them were re-lost, but I'm gonna take it.
✔ continue logging food every day
✘ continue exercising five days a week
I did well on this except for the last week. :c
✔ go for a walk at least 1x a week
A lot of them were short walks, but I got out and did them which was a big push for me!
life:
✔ straighten out financial aid with school
Long story as to why I can't get aid until next semester at the earliest, but I did get a private loan approved so I can start at the end of the month!
✔ put aside as much money as I can for new tires
FINANCES :| But I did tuck some in there.
mental health/hobbies:
✘ finish one book in July
Not even close, lmao. I've been terrible about making time for reading.
✔ stay on top of inbox/10+ tags per day
I'm not going to hold the time my internet was out against myself; otherwise I feel like I did mostly well at keeping up with my inbox this month (with the exception of Dorian who I was floundering with since I knew he was probably going home at the end of the month). It could probably be even better, but I put a lot of effort into keeping up with things.
✔ FFXIV: Amri's Weaver to 60
✘ FFXIV: Amri's Dark Knight to 60, Balthier to 50
Internet made this one tough since dungeon running was not an option. Balthier is sitting at 45, which is still progress.
✘ WoW: Ashe to Draenor
We hit Catacysm! Internet hindered this one too.
✔ WoW: Braydin transferred to main account
✘ Tales of Zestiria progress
I give up on this one for awhile. >.>
XP CHECK IN: Checked in 4 weeks = 1000 XP, to Abbie this month please!

✓ lose 2 pounds (Current=201, Goal=199) = 199lb hit!
✓ Log calories in MFP daily = Accomplished!
✓ Take a supplement daily = Managed this almost every day this month. Unsure if it made much of a difference but maybe?
X Walk the Marina 3xweek = Accomplished this 3/4 weeks of the month, as the last week of the month was spent running hubby to Dr appointments and cut into exercise time. Also this changed from Marina hikes to Pokewalks about the neighborhood instead. >.>
Real Life
✓ Cleaning 2xweek = Mostly Accomplished, although a few days there in the middle were very minor.
✓ Get landscaping finished = Finally got all the trees and bushes done THANK GOD. Have an appointment with a landscaping crew to look over yard at the end of summer to assess how to overhaul it for spring.
✓ Pay off one debt = Accomplished!
Hobbies:
X Try to clear one character inbox a day. (3@Eway, 2@ActiveKoL, PSLMusebox) = Hiatused for much of the month and took an extensive break instead. Cherry-picked as brain allowed.
✓ Wrap up backtagged threads from May/earlier, especially Solas' intro in KoL. = Mostly accomplished with the exception of maybe two ongoing threads.
X Finish watching Shannara, finish Amberle's app = Still on my TDL
✓ PSL's: New Mingle, maybe hit up some memes or poke people for some threads in my downtime = Kept up pretty well on my PSL goals for the month
X WoW: Solas to Draenor = Got him to Cataclysm.
FF14:
✓ Khari to 60.
✓ Khojin to Dark Knight.
X Shay to end content. Finish getting Crafting to 40. = Shay still up to last fight. only 3 Crafting classes left to get to 40 and they are close.
