end of month one

K, so lets re-cap shall we?

January 1 i set some goals.

January 1-31 i attempted to keep said goals.

let's see how i did:

Goal 1:

Finish two (new) books that have been sitting on my shelf, waiting to be picked up. I have a habit of buying books and not fully reading them because something better came along in the meantime. I judge books by their covers too. Shame on me. So i finished one book. my bad. insert excuse here. here is what i did read: The Interpretation of Murder by Jed Rubenfeld. i give it 4 stars. out of 5. it was a little boring getting into it, but once the murdering started to happen i was hooked. i had trouble putting it down in the last 300 pages.

Goal 2.:
Lose 8 lbs by January 31st. Small goal, hopefully plausible. I mean, very plausible. think positive and about how amazing you will look in your wedding dress. this one makes me mad. i did try. to no avail. it is the time where i am usually fat from my period, so it could be weight from that, but seriously. i didnt lose a thing. boo-urns. now i have to work twice as hard next month. not happy.

Goal 3:
Eat healthy during the week (approx. 2000 calories/day) and get 'one ruin your diet' day on the weekend. shame on me for this one. i actually forgot about this one. though i did eat very well, in terms of no major binges, or huge helpings. i did drink more than i wanted to, which wasn't a lot, but it was more than i wanted to drink this month.

Goal 4:
Write updates on this blog at least every third day. High 5 to me! i think there was only one 4-day break, but i was out of town, so that doesn't count. plus i did a two-posts-in-one-day, so that should make up for it. i give myself a gold star nonetheless.

Goal 5:
Complete 20 push-ups every 2nd day. NO EXCUSES! I did this and even better. I did push-ups at least 5 times a week, and sometimes i even did more than 20. my bi-ceps are slowly growing. pretty soon, my arms will rival maddona's.

Stay tuned for new goals tomorrow!
