91 days days to December 31, 2024.

Time to get going. I do not want to end 2024 with only two certification. I am going for THREE, one for each month before 2025.

This is what happens when I take my eyes of my goals that I have set for myself. I procrastinated and got lazy. ARGH!!!

Daily tiny habits… Let’s GO!

I have stopped walking entirely….

I have stopped walking entirely. 🙁

I have other obligations (excuses!) that I have to do that I do not have time to walk at this time.

I have also stopped updating my weight, although my weight continues to go down.

As soon as I passed the Microsoft DP-900 exam, I started to study for the AI-900. I am also studying for the Linux Professional Institute LPIC-1 exam. I have very little time and want to jump to the next level in my career, so I am trying to do all I can to get there!

Seems that everything that I am doing are intertwined. So my learning continues to grow. 🙂

Once I hit the six-mile mark, I noticed that my feet started to have blisters. I use band-aids to relieve the pain. 😐 I continue to walk daily.

Easter Sunday. Slipped and ate more than I should have. 😭 They scale will provide the numbers. 😢 Sooo easy to slip and make that error in judgement! I will have to work harder in my mindset.
