July is "Push Month"

I've declared July as "Push Month".

Flying:

• Schedule as many flying lessons as weather and schedules permit.


• I am going to work on the FAA written test every day.


• Take FAA written at the end of the month it at the end of the month.


• Mental flying everyday to practice skills.


• Spend more time on PoA working through any issues I will run into.

Fitness:

• Strictly limit to 2K calories a day for the month of July.


• Get more sleep.


• Vitamins.


• Taper my way down to one diet soda a day by July 31.


• Lift weights and workout daily.


• Add bike and extra walk everyday.

I won't bore the readers with other elements of the Push Month such as details on cleaning/organizing our house or getting ready for the next school year, but I do have a comprehensive plan. I want to see just how much progress I can squeeze out of a month. Of course, life doesn't stop just because I made a plan. I will spend the majority of my days with my son, but I will see how much he will cooperate with and get him involved everywhere that I can . As far as flying goes, I don't have any grand plans except to finish the license. I didn't get quite the raise this year that I was hoping for and last year I didn't get one at all, so as with many people, finances are tight and I considered quitting the flying altogether...but I am 33 hours in and my instructor said I am 10 -15 hours away from my checkride...so I feel I need to push on...accomplish this goal and at the very least get the headliner off of my bucket list! I don't want to be on my deathbed someday thinking about how I "almost" finished my pilot's license...So, time to get serious.
