Goal List Update


Working On:

5. Achieve a BMI of 24.9 or less

I don't think the number has actually changed since the last update Doh!!! I am however slowly working on this one. I ended up with a nasty sinus/chest infection 2 or 3 weeks ago and have not been back to the gym since. Tomorrow a spin class I swear!!



14. Take Vitamins every day for 90 days 38/90

I think this is attempt #3 however I have faith that this goal will be completed as I have a system set up so that I can't possibly forget to take these bloody things. If I do I think I'll throw in the towel and pay the $10......90 consecutive days is clearly too long for me to remember to take anything.


35. Read all of the unread books on my shelf 10/35

I recently read the Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and have nothing but good things to say about this book. It was such an emotional journey and at times I sympathized with the main character and then an instant later felt such hatred for him. There were twists and turns throughout the novel that had me laughing one moment and crying the next. The Kite Runner was a painful yet beautiful story that runs the emotional gamut. It’s not often that a book touches me as this one did but I do recommend it to everyone.



After reading that wonderful book I decided to give I Feel Bad About My Neck by Nora Ephron a try. I loathed the first 150 pages and tolerated the last 60 something. Clearly a horrendous idea on my part as this book pales in comparison and left me dreading each and every page. If it wasn't for this goal I would have put the book down after the first few chapters. I thought it might be a cute fluffy read after The Kite Runner but instead I found it just dreadful.


41. Visit 15 of my placements at work 14/15

Yay only one left to go!!!


Completed:

47. Try wearing contacts

Lucky for me I had an appointment with the optometrist recently and I was able to snag a pair of contacts. I felt terrible for the poor woman who had to teach me the proper way to insert the buggers. I felt like it took me days however she she was rather impressed as she usually books hour long appointments and I took less than 15 mins to master the technique. Regardless I still felt super awkward about the whole thing.



I should have many more goals in the completed area next time around. I have a big list to complete just in July alone so we'll see how it goes. Have any of you tried anything new lately??
