So I'm now five calendar months into my 101/1001 challenge. As of Wednesday, that was 150 days down, with 831 days to go. I don't feel as if I've had my eye on the ball at all this month, what with all my focus and energy having been on going back to work. I need to sit down and look at how to improve my efforts with the regular goals, and fit in some one-off to have things to tick off for next month.
This Month...
- 01 Completed [04 completed overall]
- #80 : Visit Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis - read about it here
- 03 Started [read more]
- #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.
- #33 : Get my hair done every ten weeks - Now I'm back at work, this is going to start. I got my hair done before I started, and even had a new fringe cut into it. New salon visit has to be done before 14/09.
- #91 : Watch 10 classic films I should have seen, but haven't - I watched Labyrinth!
- 13 Still In Progress [read more]
- #04 : Work out at least twice a week - after a few bad weeks in the middle of the month, I picked this up well to finish by getting back to Kettlercise and doing Pop Pilates 3-4 times per week.
- #08 : Don't start smoking again - I tell you, my new job is giving me a lot of motivation to keep this up, and July marked two years since I quit!
- #09 : Walk 300 miles - I actually haven't been measuring my efforts with this, but I estimate that we probably walked about 5m on holiday, my pedometer tells me I walk about 2m around the hospital each day at work and I went on a walk which probably totalled about 1m. Without overestimating, I reckon I can claim about 20m in July, taking my running total up to 54.5/300miles. But from now on I wont be counting my walking at work, as that is lifestyle rather than exercise activity.
- #10 : Take a pilates class - I'm using Cassey from Blogilates' workouts for beginners, but this doesn't count as a class. However, one starts at my work this coming month, so hopefully I can count this as complete by my next update!
- #16 : Sign Half Pint up for piano lessons - he's signed up, and starts this month so hopefully this will be ticked off in my next update.
- #21 : Don't feed Mini Milk jarred baby food at home - I haven't. We had to use it on our trip away, and yet again he would barely touch the stuff! He also eats homemade food when being cared for my his grandparents.
- #30 : Learn how to wear my hair in three new ways - I've used a tutorial to try a knotted side pony. It doesn't look vastly different to the side plait I usually wear, but it's a slight change.
- #43 : Regularly donate blood - I was all set to visit the blood bus at work this week...until their generator broke!! They're supposed to be rescheduling.
- #60/#61/#64 : Blog my 101 journey - I'm loving my venture into the world of public blogging...I just need to build relationships with other bloggers and hopefully get more readers.
- #76 : Find a sleeved wedding dress - I nearly found myself getting talked into buying a dress in a sale, but it did not have sleeves and I've then had the task of finding a bolero that matched it...I'm glad I didn't get swept up in the salesgirl pressure!
- #100 : Put £10 in a jar for each completed task - £40 in there now!
- 16 No Progress/On Hold.
- #03, #05, #06, #19, #20, #25, #29, #34, #37, #38, #40, #42, #52, #54, #90, #96
- 03 In Crisis [read more]
- #01 : Get back to my goal weight, and maintain it for the rest of the 101/1001 period - my weight is going up rather than down, my eating is in free fall and I need to sort this out fast.
- #51 : Plant a herb window box - our coriander had a growth spurt and then died, all whilst we were away!
- #85 : Read 75% of the books I own - I finished just one book in July...this is going far too slowly, I'll never hit target at this rate.
- 62 Still to Start
