August Review + XP Cash-In

[dancinpenguins]

 

Five months down!

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 August 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.  

NOTE: Apparently I totally forgot to dole out XP last month so I will be doing both at the same time!  Sorry for my failure.

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 August daily = 1000xp!

REFLECTION

( Successes ) I switched to studying VBA over getting my A+ after reassessing my goals, and I found a really enjoyable course on Udemy that makes me want to do the work every day. Jared helped me get up before 8 every day, and going to bed early helped that too. And trying out a BlueApron subscription has made a huge difference-- we cook 3 times a week now!
( Partials ) August was a rough month for training but we did OK and only held back out of necessity rather than anything else. I ate much better than normal, despite about a day a week of stress eating, oops. I tagged at least twice almost daily but I burned out the last two weeks.
( Needs works ) I journaled all of once, haha. I think it's not for me! I'm holding off on A+ altogether, so that'll be next year maybe. I worked on strength training all of three times? Yeesh. I came nowhere near my June tag record but I did exceed July, despite losing some steam on my nongame tags. I'm definitely reassessing how I set up goals for September because I'm disappointed with all these strikethroughs!
