July Goals and Progress

I know, it’s the 18th of July and I’m just now posting the June recap. Sorry, I’m busy busy busy.

2011 Goals:

  • Sew one new thing a month – June totally rocked. I’ve been buzzing right through my Pennsic sewing list. Let’s see. I finished a brown tunic, two pairs of braies and 3 coifs.
  • Read a book a month – I finished “The Omnivore’s Dilema”. By far this is the best and most eye-opening book I have ever read.
  • Join the Saluminati and make at least one Bresola and one preserved sausage. No actual progress on this yet.
  • Complete the C25K program – I’m in still in week 5 (3 5s). I’m making good progress on it and it’s starting to feel easy. I really don’t want to lose my progress while we’re at Pennsic so I’ll try to run while we’re there.
  • Pay off credit card debt – I’m working on it. I paid off half of both credit cards and I’m making plans to be able to pay off the rest of it. It may be a while before I get this done.
  • Pay off Debtors – I still need to pay off one person but with the most recent bills.. it may be a while..
  • Lose 25 lbs by August – I’ve been in a weight loss lull (which has also contributed to me not posting frequent updates. Regardless I’m still doing it.. I’m jsut not doing it quickly. This goal is currently set to end of August. I’m currently at 275 and I’d like to be at 250. (I started at the year at 286.8).
  • Continue with Weekly check ins on “Results Typical” blog. – I hate having negative to report, but I need to get back on this. I’ll try harder.
  • Continue with Friday Fives on LiveJournal(cross posted from Results Typical) – same

July Goals:

  • Lose 10 lbs. I like 10. It’s a nice round number. I don’t think the problem is the size of the goal. I think the problem is that there’s just too many distractions.
  • Cook at least 1 new recipe a week. Again, good thing to strive for. This forces me to stretch and try new recipes.
  • Do either treadmill or Kinect workout every work-day morning. Keep on keeping on.
  • Continue with C25K. I -will- do this.
  • Sew at least 1 new thing.Pennsic is coming.
  • Read 1 book.This month I’m working on the first book in the “Game of Thrones” series.
