March 101 Update

While I did not actually finish any of the goals this month (sad!) I have made plans for goals to start/finish very soon!

In progress:

- I have been looking for a good exercise program for goal 9 (work out for 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week for 2 months). I was reading in a magazine about bride workouts and even though I'm not getting married, they look fun and yet challenging at the same time. So for April and May that's what I'll be working out for that.

- I've already been making plans for goal 28 (have an amazing birthday party). I've decided to go with Alice In Wonderland Unbirthday theme.

- As soon as I get paid this week I will buy a paint by numbers I saw! So I should be working on that next week!

- I am having trouble finding out about the detox diet. So I may need to change that somehow. What my intensions for that goal was to take a 3 day weekend where I am off and not eat anything "bad". Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

-I think the next time I am at the store I will just buy Nair and try it. It's a pretty easy goal and kinda said that i haven't tried it yet.

-Warm weather is upon us, so it looks like it's time to start walking my dog! But since we've added 2 more dogs to the household, I will have to change them out. Everyone gets one week, then start over again.

-I bought a lotion thing for goal 100.

The List (To Be Edited Entry)

I figured it would be nice to have an entry in this blog where I can edit the list. I didn't want to do that on the orginal one because I like having it untouched. So this entry will be revisited as I finish them.

Goal One: Lose enough weight to be 120 pounds and not go over 135 pounds

Goal Two: Save $2500

I recently had to use most of my savings to pay on my medical bills. I counted down how much I would have to save per paycheck until August and I don't think I'll be able to save it. So I'll just have to save as much as I can until then.

Goal Three: Finish college

Due to unforeseen events, I do not believe I will be able to cross this goal off within a year.

Goal Four: Get my license

Goal Five: Purchase (or decide not to purchase) books and movies from my list I keep a running list of movies/books I want to buy.

Goal Six: Get a tattoo (once I lose weight)

Goal 6 Edited: buy a good curling iron/straightener

I decided to switch out the tattoo goal and a goal from the next list. I will be getting a tattoo for a "I moved out of my house" gift to myself.

Goal Eleven: Send a postcard to Postsecret once a year

Goal Twelve: Stay on top of getting my pictures printed off and put them away

Goal Thirteen: Get my puzzles framed, plus 2 posters

Since I have no where to hang the posters/puzzles, I really don't see a point in having them framed yet. So I'm crossing this off.
