Goal #1: I worked out for a little while tonight. Nothing major. Goal #14: My heartsy deal goes live tomorrow, so this means sales will start happening! Goal #34: I packed all my yarn into storage bins today. It’s not perfectly organized, but it’s getting close. I need to pick up a couple more bins, and I will be all set.

Holy cow, 50 days in, already, and I’m making progress! Goal #34: I sorted some of my yarn tonight. It’s in boxes, in preparation for the move. Eventually, I’m planning on getting see through bins to store all my yarn in. Right now, boxes will have to do. Goal #35: I forgot to update about my recent earrings. I made 50 pairs the other day out of the resin flowers I bought. I...

Goal #1: I did one of my 10 minute trainer videos this morning. I ordered a skirt online, and I think it will be a smidge on the snug side, so I’m hoping to slim down a little. I have a few of these “motivational” clothing pieces already, so we’ll see how they help. Goal #19: I am up to 449 Facebook fans. The giveaway I am holding on my blog is definitely helping me get...

Goal #42: We watched Terri last night. It’s about an overweight high school student struggling with the general horribleness of school, and forming a friendship with the school’s vice principal. I enjoyed it, there were some hilarious parts, for sure. Goal #74: I’m trying to catch up on where I need to be with the comments. If I want to have a 5 comment a day average, I have to...

February 15, 2012: Day 42
Goal #1: I walked for just over an hour today. I walked to what was supposed to be a meeting, and found out I hadn’t been referred yet. Ugh, really annoying. Made a couple stops on the way back to run some errands. Goal #31: I finished another neck warmer, for 313 feet of yarn. Goal #35: I made some polymer clay shapes last night that will be turned into earrings. I don’t know if...

I haven’t accomplished much these two days, as Rick and I have been painting. Mostly Rick, but I’ve been helping, too Goal #31: I finally calculated approximately how much yarn my recently finished items have used. I’ve made 4 neck warmers, at 313.5 feet each, for a total of 1254 feet. I’m inching closer and closer to my first mile! Goal #69: I wore makeup again today....

Goal #1: I did quite a bit of walking toady while we were out and about. I also did 20 minutes or so on the different machines Rick’s parents have in the basement. We were all chatting about the machines, and we all took turns goofing around on them. It was actually pretty hilarious. Goal #62: I haven’t really posted about this, because adding transactions to Mint is basically a habit...

Goal #1: I did a 10 minute work out today. My back has been bugging me for the past few days, so I tried to tough it out as best I could. I feel so lazy, but I think taking it easy is better than possibly injuring myself more. Goal #34: I organized a small amount of the yarn today. I had a few random skeins sitting around, and I knew I had drawers with the same brand of yarn. I put 2 and 2...

Goal #54: I paid another $100 on my credit card today. Goal #55: I have saved $500! I’m really happy with this. I got paid today, which allowed me to do this. I am adding another goal of saving another $1000. Goal #64: Rick and I went to Sunflower Organic Cafe today for lunch. It’s a new restaurant that opened up in my city in the past few weeks. Their menu is 100% organic, and some...

Not a very productive day today. Took a day off from working out and I didn’t read many blogs. Goal #42: I watched GreenFingers today. Definitely an excellent movie. I don’t know what it is, maybe that it is based on a true story, but I really liked it.

Goal #1: I did my second work out of the week yesterday. I am going to be following a 10 minute trainer program that Rick gave me ages ago. There are three workouts scheduled for each day, and I had the chance/energy to do 2 of them. Today I did just one, but oh man, am I sore! I am way out of shape! Goal #42: I watched I Love You, Phillip Morris tonight. I’ve seen little bits and pieces of...

February 1&2, 2012: Day 29&30 One Month In!
Already 30 days in! So far, I am happy with what I’ve accomplished. I know I could have more done, but I’m still working my way up. I am going to try to finish at least one goal during the month of February. Goal #1: I changed this goal. Rather than go to the gym twice a week, I will work out three days a week, every week. This means I gotta get on this, and get a work out in today! ...
