In May we completed 442 activities, and have been feeling significant stress but also proud of what we are doing. To summarize what our current focuses are we have:

Exercise – improved, I’ve been jogging, stretching, and doing pushups
Weight/Diet – while overall average remained stable, gained 4 lbs in the last week
Cleaning – decreased from last month, but still up when compared to previous months
Sleep – improved, now getting reliably good sleep again, feeling solid
Work – improved, due to more reliable sleep, had more time for the morning routine
CompTIA A+ study – wavering, switched from note taking to quiz taking, still adjusting
Job Applications – wavering, fielding interviews, adjusting monthly target numbers
Social Media Usage – still spending a lot of time on reddit and instagram
Family/Relationships – less negativity towards parents, more negativity towards partner

Overall, extremely grateful that I’ve been able to maintain this pace of activity and continue to improve in most aspects. Diet and Career goals continue to peek out as most important issues in need of focusing on for June. YTD up over 10lbs from my ending weight on the medication. I notice that I’ve been eating a lot of pizza, and having difficulty making decisions to eat more cleanly. I will spend days doing what feels like fasting, and then overeating afterwards. I think the solution here may lie in a more gradual adjustment, and so this month for diet perhaps I’ll just cut out pizza entirely.

Career wise, in our current job we are doing very well. Applications continue to go out, though due to some significant stress last month, waited until the last few days of the cycle to send a little about 50% of my goal. This cycle has been the first one this year that I’ve failed outright, which feels negative but also gives me a good estimate of what I can realistically achieve in the short term. As a result, I’ve adjusted the target number for next cycle down from 70 to 60, and we’ll see if that’s more achievable or not. Initially I wanted to send 210 applications per quarter, but my partner is also sending applications for me as well, so I’m comfortable revisiting that goal.

CompTIA has been HIGHLY STRESSFUL. Recently switched over from note taking to actual practice quizzes. Some of these quizzes we do very well, 95% and above, while other quizzes that I didn’t take notes on are not doing well, 50% or below. I am studying these new questions, but also feeling a lot of stress. I have 3 weeks remaining before the Core 1 Test, and not sure if it will be enough time. Its ok to not be sure.

Sleep has been stabilized this month, which has been a very good thing. I’m sure that I’d be having a much worse time if my sleep cycle wasn’t as solid as it is.

Been having an ok time with my parents lately, which feels good. I am appreciative of the time spent working on that relationship and all the processing involved. I’m
