<\/a><\/li>\n- Read a book a month – I finished “Medieval clothing and textiles – 4” I’m really looking forward to trying to make a St. Birgitta Coif.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Join the Saluminati and make at least one Bresola and one preserved sausage. No actual progress on this yet. I did get some of cure #1 and cure #2 but I didn’t want to start curing anything until after my vacation (which ended the day before yesterday). Plans are in the works.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Complete the C25K<\/a> program – I’m in week 5 (3 5s). I didn’t run for the two weeks we were out of town. We were either travelling or it was raining. So I’m back to doing week 5 day 1 again.. only now it’s hard. Oh well.. still trucking along on this.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Pay off credit card debt \u2013 Um.. undone. We used credit cards while vacationing (paying for gas\/food\/etc) and now paying for vet bills. It may be a while before I get paid off again.<\/em><\/li>\n
- Pay off Debtors – I still need to pay off one person but with the most recent bills.. it may be a while..<\/em><\/li>\n
- Lose 25 lbs by August – Previously this goal was to lose 30 lbs by the end of May. I didn’t hit that goal.. I only lost 19.2 lbs before leaving for vacation (and gaining 9 lbs) but any progress is progress. So I’m resetting this goal to end of August. I’m currently at 275 and I’d like to be at 250 for Pennsic, the first week of August. (I started at the year at 286.8). <\/em><\/li>\n
- Continue with Weekly check ins on “Results Typical<\/a>” blog. – Meh.. with vacation I kind of fell down on this. I’ll try harder.<\/em><\/li>\n

May Achievements:<\/h2>\n
Goal: Lose 10 lbs.
\nOutcome: I started the month at 267.6 and end the month at 275.0. That’s a whopping gain of 9 lbs. Very disappointing.. but not unexpected. I vacationed and didn’t avoid sweets.<\/p>\nGoal: Cook at least 1 new recipe a week.
\nOutcome: Ok.. total fail. I mean I know I made new stuff.. but I failed at documenting. Wins: Crunchy Granola, Moroccan couscous, and Tagine of Beef and Onions.<\/p>\nGoal: Continue with Ab-Divas *\/100 and do it daily. Keep doing it.
\nOutcome: Total fail at this. I’m not sure how it happened (Like I said, May FLEW by) but I’m ending May without starting Ab Divas again. Oh well.. I’ve restarted as of June 1.<\/p>\nGoal: Do either treadmill or Kinect workout every work-day morning.
\nOutcome: I missed two weeks while vacationing.. but I’m back at it now.<\/p>\nGoal: Continue with C25K.
\nOutcome: After vacation I’m back to working on week 5.<\/p>\nGoal: Clean the kitchen floor and fridge.
\nOutcome: Fail. Meh. I must have some mental block about completing this.<\/p>\nGoal: Sew 1 new thing.
\nOutcome: Total win. I knocked it out of the park this month.<\/p>\nGoal: Read 1 book.
\nOutcome: Read “Medieval Clothing and Textiles – 4”<\/p>\nJune Goals:<\/h2>\n
