Day 11 of 100

Day 11 of 100

I think I may be coming down with something. I've had a wicked headache all day long, its spread all the way down into my teeth and jaw. My body has been aching all day, I couldn't get warm and I just was not hungry at all. No fun. :( I hope a good night's rest will clear this up because I need to be able to squeeze in all my errands on Saturday, given that Monday is Thanksgiving and lots needs to be taken care of on Sunday indoors.

Because of how I felt today, I decided to pass on the HHA TBB routine. If I feel better tomorrow, I will do it then, if not I will absolutely find time to squeeze it in on Saturday. Maybe before breakfast, as it would certainly start my day off with a kick.

I mentioned a few days ago that I had an idea I wanted to share. Well, I was thinking, since I never really "celebrate" my birthdays, maybe I should do something different for my 25th in March. I'm going to make a list of 25 things I want to do, that must be completed before my 26th birthday. They have to be things that either take me out of my comfort zone or that I have not done before that I've wanted to do for a while. I've only come up with two things so far, which are doing an online course that should take 6 months to complete and the top of my list goal will be to go skydiving!

I am utterly horrified of heights, just getting on the little stepping stool we have makes my heart pound and I get a smidge light headed/dizzy. I figure that this may be able to help me do/get over a lot of things all in one shot.

First being my fear of heights, second being to help me learn to control my anxiety/panic attacks better in the face of something big, obviously like jumping out of a plane. Third being, it will give me a severe kick in the pants to show myself that I can do something that seems absolutely horrifying and crippling on the surface but make it through to the other side intact.

I want to do this before I move out West, if I manage to make it work. I have never lived on my own before and the thought of this scares me. I have what ifs and questions constantly running through my mind. Will I be able to do this? How? What if something goes wrong? So on and so forth.

I feel like if I can screw up the courage to go skydiving, maybe I will have more confidence in my ability to take care of myself if I move out West on my own. Does that make any sense?

Anyway. So, there's my idea. I will update the list on here every time I think of something else to add. And I will post the completed list on my birthday.

Oh and as an aside note. I was doing some calculations the other day and I thought this was neat and worth sharing. If I lose 1 pound every week from here until March 17th, I will weigh 129 pounds. That's 1 pound below my goal of weighing 130 pounds by my birthday on March 19th! Isn't that great? Fingers crossed that I'm able to do it!

don't be afraid.

nothing new or different ever came out of everyone doing the same things all the time.

take the plunge and follow your heart.  you will always survive some stress.  just make sure your rewards will far outweigh your risks.
