Week 10

Not too much more to report this week, either, but I'm still happy with my slow and steady progress. By the end of the month, a couple of my Actively In Progress things will shift down to just In Progress since they'll be partially done and I already have an idea of what to work on next. So I don't forget, though, either way, my plan for the remainder of the month is:

• 30. Exercise for at least 20 minutes three times a week for a month three times
Last week I joined a gym and a large part of its appeal is the "30-minute Room." No matter how busy I am, I should be able to squeeze in time for that three times a week.
• 52. Learn how to cook five things
I know this one isn't a big deal, but I enjoyed it so I think I'm going to try making some sort of super healthy quiche, if possible, before the end of the month.
• 88. Fill a new photo album with pictures of times with friends
I have the album and some pictures and other such memorabilia gathered already, I just have to get all the pictures on a CD or something to print them out. I'm recruiting someone to nag me about this for the rest of the month until I do it since I've been meaning to since the end of January.
• 96. Try a new dish every other month for a year
"New dish" is a pretty ambiguous term, but in my head it means something at least a little out of the ordinary (at least in my rather limited range of 'ordinary') that I wouldn't normally try. So far this month, I've eaten a couple things I've never had before, but nothing that lines up with my definition of "new dish" so I don't count them.
• 100. Volunteer three different places AND 101. Tutor someone
Saturday I will be meeting with the person I intend to tutor to see if we're suited for one another. I anticipate that going well, so as of 03-29-08, both of these goals will be in progress.

In Progress

28. Take a multivitamin every day for a month three times
-- I don't take it at the same time every day, but I have taken it every day. This will be considered a third of the way complete 04/01/08.

29. Walk to 19 and back once a week for month three times (4/5)
-- Began as of 02/24/08, first of three thus will be complete 03/24/08.

31. Lose 42 pounds by my 21st birthday (14/42)
-- I'm still losing more inches than I am pounds, but I think I can live with seeing more results in the mirror than I do on the scale.

42. Get rid of clothes I never wear (donate what is acceptable)
-- Now that I'm a little less worried about regaining the weight I've lost, I'm finally parting with the bulk of the clothes that are now multiple sizes too big for me.

67. Complete The Intellectual Devotional (83/365)
-- One per day for a year. I've kept it up daily so far.

74. Solve a Rubix cube
-- I'm actually making progress with this already, much to my surprise. I'm beginning to understand the logic of it all. Started: 02/25/08

83. Spend time reading or writing outside every month for a year (1/12)
-- This goal was two-fold in nature when I put it on the list. I spend entirely too much time indoors and not nearly enough time any more reading or writing. Here's to becoming a more literary non-hermit. 03/05/08

86. Visit somewhere over 100 miles away twice (1/2)
-- Sea World with one of my best friends, her boyfriend, and my boyfriend!! According to MapQuest, it's 101 miles from my house. 03-21-08

93. Watch a movie I haven't seen before every month for a year (3/12)
-- 1. I Am Legend, 3:10 to Yuma, Death Sentence, Chuck and Larry, Stand by Me, Dreamcatcher, and Sunshine. Seriously, this is more movies than I usually watch in a year.
-- 2. Momento, Across the Universe, Match Point. Between my best friend and boyfriend, this goal is starting to seem too easy.
-- 3. Juno and Blade Runner. One in theaters, one at home - well, someone's home.
