May 29-31, 2012: Day 146-148

Goal #1: I’ve been working out pretty much every day to some extent. I am back on track with running, after I was discouraged when I couldn’t complete one of my runs.

Goal #14: I am up to 60 Etsy sales! I have a sale in my shop right now to help raise funds for my dogs surgery. This has gotten me a couple sales.

Goal #58: I didn’t want to do this, but I had to: I unsubscribed from a couple podcasts. I couldn’t… stand… how… long… they… took… to… get… their… point… across… They just had to go. Pausing after EVERY WORD is unacceptable.

May 26-28, 2012: Day 143-145

Goal #30: I finished up another ball of cotton yarn last week. I forgot to make note of it here. My progress with this goal is slow, but steady.

Goal #37: I am working on a couple new shawls, and I have blogged about the progress of both of them already! Woohoo, I’m doing well on this!

Goal #54: I’ve been putting chunks of money on my credit card whenever I can afford it. I will soon hopefully be able to do this more often (more on this another time)

Goal #58: I’ve been listening to podcasts lately. I usually listen to 2 a day, before I get bored. I need to start mixing it up and listening to different ones.

Goal #63: I went to a jewelry party with Cindy. I was offered a bottle of Upper Canada Lager. My old job used to sell it, but I’d never had the chance to try it. I don’t know a lot about beer, but I know I liked this one.

Goal #69: I dressed up a little bit for the jewelry party and put makeup on.

Goal #76: My I Love Etsy queue is slowly filling. I’ve been adding an average of 10 items per day for the past few days. Today, I added about 50.

Goal #82: I am now able to plank for 60 seconds! I’m trying to increase my time by 5 seconds every few days. So far, it’s going well.

May 24, 2012: Day 141

Goal #64: We went to Michigan yesterday, and we had Chipotle for dinner. This isn’t the type of restaurant I was really hoping to have on the list (I was leaning more towards independent ones) but the food was actually pretty good.

May 21-22, 2012: Day 138-139

Goal #1: Rick and I went for an hour long walk tonight. It’s gorgeous outside, and we needed to grab something from the store, so we figured we might as well walk!

Goal #24: I have some earrings available in another store! It’s called Midwest Yarns and it is opening soon in Milwaukee! I am super excited for this!

Goal #42: Rick and I watched Shame last night. He’s had it for a while now, and just remembered it. It was not my normal sort of movie, but it was interesting.

May 10-12, 2012: Day 127-129

Goal #1: I did C25K W3D1 today. It went better than I expected.

Goal #10: See above. I thought I was still in W2, so being in W3 was a surprise. This was a 1.5/3/1.5/3 minute run structure, with walks of the same length in between. I really surprised myself when I ran the 3 minutes with relative ease. I’m looking forward to the next run, for sure!

Goal #42: Right and I went to see the Avengers with out friend Shane. I enjoyed it. I didn’t love it, but I don’t follow the comics or anything, so some of it was lost on me. We also saw The Hunger Games later on. I definitely liked that one. I’m thinking of going to the library and putting holds on all the books.

Goal #51/#52: I’ve decided to restart my to do list goals. Since we moved, I haven’t been completing my lists every week. I am going to restart today. This means I will be making them until November.

May 7-9, 2012: Day 124-126

Goal #24: I brought items into Shoppe Local today! They open this weekend, and I am super excited. I have more news about this goal in the near future. I don’t want to jinx it right now, but watch this space for updates!

Goal #31: Over the past few days, I’ve been working on my dish cloth stock. I don’t make much money off them, but they sell, and it means I clear out space in my stash for more yarn! I’ve made 6 cloths, which means 750 feet! I will be bring these, and the others that I have at home to the newest place that I will be selling at.
