A minor success is still a success, right?

I finished a goal!  Never mind that I'm still 32 goals short . . . I'm finding that even with the modified goals, I'm not having much luck at getting them done.  The motivation still isn't there for all of them.  Some goals are going ok, like going to the gym.  And I bought a deal voucher for a juice cleanse, I just have to figure out how to do it still.  I'm counting that goal as half done, since I've made the commitment to do it within a time frame (before it expires!).  Depending on how the deal works and when they can deliver the juice, I may not be able to get it done before the deadline.  If I can at least get it booked by the deadline, I will count it as fully done.

Apparently after I finish my blog post each week, most of the goals leave my head and are not really considered again until it's time to write the next blog post. Unless I can work on that, I don't have much chance of getting them done.  I'm kind of stumped though on how to fix this. Other than posting signs all over saying "GOALS".  I kinda think my roommate might object. Maybe it's just because the deadline is looming.  There isn't much chance of getting all of them done, so subconsciously I'm not bothering to try anymore. To counteract this, I'm trying to come up with plans to get some of them done. 

If all goes well, I will be planting a tree this weekend.  And going berry picking.  So keep your fingers crossed that I can manage to pull it off.  I need to do some research on how to do these things, like where to acquire a tree that will survive, and whether there are any berry picking farms on the way or nearby to where I'm headed.  That will get me 2 more down.  I just went back to the typing test site, and tried some of the typing tests.  I managed to score a 63, which handily beats my 49 from before.  1 goal down!

Overall, the best I can probably achieve is 92 goals.  There are 9 goals that I know that I'm just not going to get done by the deadline.   For example, sew a sundress.   Since I'm actively trying to lose weight, I don't want to make a dress that fits me now.  I'd rather be hopeful that I will actually lose the weight that I want to lose, and therefore inches around my hips/waist, and make a sundress later.  Since I won't achieve the healthy weight for my height before the end of August (at least not in a healthy way!), I know that the sundress will not get finished. Now that I know this, I am going to olnly focus on doing my achievable goals.  If I can manage to focus on them at all!
