Today’s intention levels are: P3 (physical exercise at a high level), C3 (career objectives at a high level), R1 (relationship goals have actually kicked in and I’m messaging a couple of potential date options…maybe?).
Goooood morning, friends! And how was your weekend? Twas the first weekend of 2026. Are you loving the new year yet?
My weekend was pretty damn quiet.
Friday was a weird day because it was Jan. 2 and I don’t think anyone was working. I can’t remember what I did! Did I make an entry? Oh. Yes I DID write on Friday - the insurance bullshit and my dad’s scammer. Luckily, my dad seems to have gotten out of that fairly unscathed and only had to cancel and order new cards. I’m double checking on my med insurance today. So…that will be that. Still waiting on the contract stuff as nobody answered me over the weekend.
Saturday, I seemed to do a whole lotta nuthin except maybe dreaming about what 2026 is going to look like. I feel like my social feeds are just full of astrology right now. So much astrology. So much “manifestation” information. It feels like overload and I just want to get things right this year!
Yesterday was a good time. My normal first Sunday of the month volunteer activity got postponed to next Sunday because the founder’s truck was in the shop. I’d already planned on taking the dog to daycare, so that meant that I had the whole day to myself and could walk on the trail to my heart’s desire (since Martini tends to slow me down). I did a good 10-miler (!!) yesterday. I hadn’t done that in a while!
After walking, I went to grab a quick bite and thought I’d just run into Trader Joes and grab something in their ready-to-eat section. However, Trader Joes was so fucking crowded!! Long story short, I must have accidentally bumped into someone who was already ANGRY because she bumped into me (purposely) and I said “excuse me” and then she HIP CHECKED me…hard! And I said “excuse me!” again, this time more forcefully. This woman wanted to fight with me! What on earth? She’d walked over to another area after she kinda yelled at me, but she kept looking at me. At one point I mouthed, “fucking bitch” and I thought she was going to lose it and come at me. She yelled, “Oh, I’m a fucking bitch??!” And at that point I decided to turn tail and walk away. I was over shopping there anyway. Something was clearly wrong with her and I didn’t want to wait to find out.
I ended up shopping elsewhere where the crowd was not on their collective period. Sheesh.
Today I started yet another 50-workout series by the toughest coach on the internet, Carolyn Girvan. In case you want to follow along, I’m following the playlist called Epic 3. Did Day 1 this morning and it Kicked. My. Butt.
I realized…well, honestly, I didn’t “realize” this…I’ve actually been putting off weighing myself because I’d fallen off the tracking system. I could tell my clothes have been fitting a little differently. Maybe not so much tighter, but maybe a little. Bottom line, I gained 6 lbs since September. Yes, the last time I tracked my weight was in September. THIS is why my weight fluctuates so much. How does that old saying go? What gets measured gets managed. Yep. Just looked it up.
THIS is why I’m so obsessed with tracking, graphing, charting, measuring. Because the second I take my eye off the ball, things go haywire. Maybe I’m a control freak, and I know I can only manage what I can control, but it says a lot about what’s going to need to happen this year.
I do need to be in charge of all of the things I can control, and then I just have to trust that the rest will manifest. And yes, of course, I need to place myself in the right spaces (things I can control), and I need to set myself up for success. But I can’t control things like when this guy sends me the contract, but I am also aware of the fact that since this guy drags his feet, this might be the way this guy operates. Knowledge = Power…and all that jazz.
I need to really concentrate on making things happen, and then how I react to things that happen.
Okay. I better get a move on. The day is already half over and I have a dozen things on my list to measure and manage.
Make it a good one! And try not to get in any fights (note to self).
xox,
GS
