So I'm now four calendar months into my 101/1001 challenge. As of today, that's 119 days down, with 882 days to go. I'm still feeling very much motivated to keep myself on track, which is nice as I think around now is the time when doubts could start to creep in about any goals that may not have been properly thought through. That's not to say that there are goals I'm not nervous about, but none that I feel were made just to fill space in my list.
This Month...
- 02 Completed [03 completed overall]
- #18 : Take Half Pint on the Jacobite (aka the Hogwarts Express) - read about it here
- #56 : Actually make something from The Pioneer Woman Cooks - update to follow
- 04 Started [read more]
- #03 : Create a recipe book with diet recipes - I've chosen my first few recipes and had found a template to put them in. But the template isn't exactly how I'd like it, so I think I'm going to design my own.
- #16 : Sign Half Pint up for piano lessons - I sat down at the piano with him and took him through the basics of notes, octaves, scales and reading music. He picked it up very well, so now I just need to get my act together and hunt down a tutor for him.
- #52 : Perfect five non-diet main courses - in completing goal #56, I found a new family favourite!
- #54 : No meat for a month - I gave Quorn another try (this time sausages rather than mince), and didn't suffer any negative effects. Progress.
- 20 Still In Progress [read more]
- #04 : Work out at least twice a week - I have killed this during June, I will be making a separate post about this, including my 30 Day Shred progress.
- #06 : Do the 30 Day Shred - I've been doing this on the days I don't have another form of exercise planned, and I've got up to level 2 so far...might try level 3 next week. But as I've not done it every day, and my eating is more off track than I'd like, I'm treating this as a practice run!
- #09 : Walk 300 miles - measuring this hasn't been easy, given how craptastic RunKeeper has been since my phone updated. But it looks as if I walked about 16miles this month, taking my running total up to 34.5/300miles. A lot of this was due to Half Pint doing his cycling proficiency at school, and us not being able to fit his bike into my car which saw me doing a nearly five mile round trip by foot to the school and back on three occasions.
- #19 : Learn and use five baby sign language words - I'm trying to focus on more, drink and eat right now...but I keep forgetting to use them!
- #20/#40 : Be the dog walker once a week/Brush the pooch once a week - just twice/once this month...oops.
- #34 : Clear all my things from mum & dad's house - I've cleared out half a cupboard of my stuff, and helped Half Pint cull/sort some of his stash too.
- #51 : Plant a herb window box - we have shoots of coriander, but they aren't fully grown yet.
- #60/#61 : Blog my 101/1001 journey/Blog twice a week - I've taken this to a new level by starting this blog.
- #85 : Read at least 75% of the books I own - I finished one book in June, taking me to 5/132...which is pretty crap!
- #100 : Put £10 in a jar for every completed goal - there's now £30 in there!
- No real leaps forward for goals #01, #08, #21, #29, #30, #37, #38, #64 but they haven't slacked off either.
- 09 On Hold.
- #05, #10, #25, #42, #43, #76, #88, #90, #96
- 65 Still to Start
- 0 Failed
