101 Project

May 29-31, 2012: Day 146-148

Thu, 31 May 2012 22:58:12 -0400

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Goal #83: I added this goal tonight Get to 200 admirers in the Etsy shop. I am halfway there so far. I know that the more people I have that have hearted my shop, the more my traffic will go up.

Goal #84: That brings me to this goal: Get average daily views to 100+ over a month I will calculate this every now and then using the Shop Stats feature “over the last 30 days” I hope this will help me force myself to promote my shop more. I already tweet and update facebook pretty regularly, but I need to work on more ways. This goes with goal #74 to comment on more blogs. The hoped for end result of all these is to get more sales in the shop.

May 4, 2012: Day 121

Fri, 04 May 2012 23:52:00 -0400

Goal #30: I finished up one ball of cotton yarn last night. I’ve been working on some dishcloths lately to have more stock for the craft shows, and slowly but surely, I’m making my way through the cotton. I swear, it’s multiplying.

Goal #42: I watched The Sitter tonight. Wasn’t quite what I was expecting, but I did enjoy it.

Goal #58: I’ve been listening to podcasts lately. I downloaded some more from a couple shows that I listen to, so I am currently at 479 to go. I need to listen to more and stop finding new ones!

Goal #82: I added this goal today: Do a 5 minute plank. I’ve been working on planks for a little while to engage my core, and I want to get to 5 minutes. Right now, I am at 30 seconds. It’s not necessarily the most effective core exercise, but I actually enjoy doing it, and I can really feel it working in a short amount of time.

Goal #32: I donated 7 hats though LeeLee Hats. I have a blog post about it here.

Goal #69: I wore makeup to an event this evening. I went to a banquet with a friend of mine, and figured I should get dressed up. I also wore makeup out to lunch with Rick. I sort of did my hair, so I decided I should put some makeup on too.

Tue, 24 Apr 2012 23:57:41 -0400

Goal #31: I’ve recently knit quite a bit of finer gauge yarn for some summery items for sale. I will photograph them for the blog soon. They add up to 450 yards between them! That brings my total to 8597 feet! I need to start keeping track of this goal better!

Goal #40: I haven’t worked on this goal in a while, so I figured today I would try to make a dent in it. I donated 700 grains. This is the equivalent to about 14.5 grams.

Goal #58: I downloaded a bunch of new podcasts recently. My total is at 468. I have been listening to them, though! I try to listen to at least one episode a day, between episodes of Myth Busters. The TV shows I have downloaded are cutting into my podcast listening time. I have to get on top of them. They’re often very inspiring!

Goal #61: I changed this goal to earning $100 from all my online points sites. I recently got a $10 vouched for amazon from Hotspex. I am also working with SuperPoints for amazon codes. I have a ways to go for this one, but it’s actually kind of fun!
