- Cleaned one kitchen cupboard that's above the microwave & hard to access. Donated all contents (minus one lonely tupperware that was in the wrong spot) & turned that into a storage spot for my bread maker.
- Cleaned two drawers in the cupboard that we rarely use. Donated about 75% of the contents, reorganized remaining items so they are easier to find.
- Went through the boys toys (this is an ongoing project - always :-)) & donated four grocery bags full of toys + 5 complete Lego sets.
- Went through my closet, (this is also a work in progress) and donated 5 items and listed 10 more items on eBay.
And, with one week left in March, I wanted to do a quick goal check. I've been ticking off these tasks daily, which has really helped.
- Lose 2 lbs, bringing my weight to 143. - I'm at 144! I've finally made progress. Can't wait to see 143. :-)
- Track my food every day in My Fitness Pal - Yep!
- Average 1500 calories/day - I'm at 1574. I was down closer to 1525, but I've had some higher calorie days after long workouts this past week.
- Complete 1200 minutes of cardio workouts - I'm at 930, may not hit my stretch goal, but I'm getting in lots of exercise.
- Complete 10 strength workouts. - Yes, I've done 11 so far! My arms are definitely looking more toned.
- Complete 7 stretching workouts - I'm on track, at 6!
- Run consistently - on track, save for my one week where I was recovering from my half marathon & then got a cold.
- Run 80 miles this month. - I'm at 50 miles for the month. I don't see myself hitting 30 miles this week, but given my cold & recovering, I'm okay with this.
- Run 1 race - done!
- Achieve a personal record in my half marathon - yes!
- Find an April race - done! I'm running a 10K with M, & we're all registered.
- Find a race to run with my sister - done! We're doing a mud run in June. Should be fun. :-)
- Planned Mother's Day - done! We're combining this with my grandmother's 80th birthday, and taking her to the beach.
- Coordinate Spring Break plans - done! My parents are taking the kids for three days, they are going to camp for a day, & I'm staying home with them one day.
- Buy one tuition credit for each child - Done! I actually was able to buy two for each kid, with their birthday money and additional money we added. We kept their gifts very small this year (new bike helmets + a game) so we could instead use the money allocated towards their college accounts. They got plenty of other fun stuff. :-)
- Pay $5,000 additional principal on mortgage - No, this is likely on hold until we finish paying off our taxes, and we paid for some large home repairs. I still need to calculate how much we've paid so far.
- Have one date night/month with M - Yes! Our first real date night in five months, right after my half marathon. We celebrated & it was fabulous.
- Get together with two friends/month - Yes! Lots of fun get togethers this month.
- Track monthly spending, & create spending reports. - Yes, on track.
- Review our charitable contributions & increase by 10%. - Yes, & I'm going to remove this goal, as it's now automated & it feels like cheating to give myself credit for this. :-)
- Clean out my closet. - I'm about 80% of the way through. I still have some dresses to try on & determine what to do with. That said, I've gotten rid of A TON! My closet almost entirely represents things that I wear regularly. :-)
- Clean out my dresser - yep, done!
- Make croissants - I switched this to try French bread, & made it this weekend. It was awesome.
- Set up meeting with attorney for wills. No, but I need to make this a top priority this week.
- Generate $400 in side hustle! Yes, I'm over my $1000 goal & now I'm shooting for $1500.
- Book flights for girls trip - I'm 2/3 of the way there. Still need to coordinate with my sister (hopefully today), on her flights.
- Buy & mail secret sister gift. - Yes! Done.
- Read 3 books - Nope, haven't read anything this month. :-(
- Experiment with stress management techniques - well, the increased workouts & yoga seems to be working!
How about you? How are you doing with your March goals? Are you into spring cleaning & decluttering?
I am sorry you are sick! Colds just seem more annoying than anything though.
ReplyDeleteYEAH! I am so proud that you completed the stretching! That was the one I was rooting for most.
Now, about that will...just teasing.
Wow, you are totally rocking your goals and spring cleaning!
