Now Is The Time

 Ya Girlie is way too heavy! I loved being curvy but this is ridiculous. Depression, financial changes, life stressors, etc all got to me and it was my lack of responsibility that got me here. :(


So what is the plan?


I made some changes. I have been seeing a dietician virtually to help craft meal changes. I have gotten an app for exercising that syncs with my Fitbit. I am drinking tons of more water. 


So what is the expectation?


The plan I am on says I SHOULD lose 9-13 pounds every 4 weeks based on changed eating habits, exercise and mindfulness steps. I am also practicing emotion regulation, going over CBT skills, socializing better and really getting the sleep I need as often as I can do it. 


I have been working on the food swaps and changes for the past 6 weeks. I feel that my calorie intake is decently less as opposed to what it was a month ago. 


I start exercising today following a regular and specific plan that begins with 4900 steps and ends October 2025 at 7000 steps. These steps are partially "free" walking where I use my Fitbit to keep track of movement. The steps also come from stretching, yoga, aerobics and more. 


The plan I am on is not the easiest setting nor the hardest. It will take me more than a year if I do not up my exercise plan beyond the app. I will weigh myself every Friday morning. 


What do I weigh now? UGH! Too much.

2000 Plus Submissions

 Hey Hey Hey!     If there is one thing that I have learned over my year at Prolific...do not do every survey. This seems counterintuitive to making money but it wears out your welcome. I find that doing X number of surveys per day works out well for me. I rarely have a day without studies to do except on the weekends.      I set out to do the minimum. I cash out Mon through Friday at 6 dollars per day. I also do Cloud Connect and cash out there at 5 dollars per day. So I make $11 per day times 5 days which nets me $55 per week or $220 per month doing a few surveys while I work on other stuff.      Not a bad take home nest egg starter.

When Failure Hits - Part One

 Hey Hey Hey!     It is a horrible feeling to not succeed at something. Even worse when it is online. Health took a turn for the worse in the past couple of days. :(     I won't make the 1000 calls but I did work on it. I definitely feel that Humanatic is a work in progress. I am good at one category of calls.      But today's failure is about Preply. I simply cannot reconcile me giving free lessons in the HOPES of getting a paid student. I understand it allows the student to find a tutor but those lessons are often one hour long.      Gotta bow out of that one!
