March Resolution Update!

1.  Lose ONE pound per week.  Well... We are currently living in the 12th week of 2013, so I should have *technically* lost 12 pounds by now.  I started out at 233 (I can't find evidence of a heavier weight in previous posts, so sorry if this is inaccurate.), which means that if I followed through with resolution #1, I would weigh 221.  Is that number real?  That seems high for some reason.  Anyway, without suspense, view the pic below to see my progress.

Yep, not exactly what you would call "following through".  Looking back on the choices I've made the first three months, I really should have stuck to my guns and resisted temptation.  I need a new plan to help me actually follow through while there's still time to catch up!  I guess I'll write something about that later.  Sad face!

Current IOU amount: 14 lbs.

2.  Make a better effort to keep in touch with family/friends.   This one is personally hard to gauge.  Although I've been trying, I know that I'm not exactly doing everything that I could to make sure this is happening, so I guess it needs more work!  I have proactively purchased a plethora of birthday cards and hope to send them early/on time, instead of my norm of sending them about a week after the actual birthday.

3.  Plan a road trip to break in my new car.    DONE!!!  I wish it would have been a camping trip or a pilgrimage to the Grand Canyon, but hey- ain't nobody got time for that!


4.  Try something new at least ONCE a month (a.k.a. twelve new experiences).  Got this one in the bag, folks!  I've been trying new things like there's no tomorrow- in fact, I've already decided my 'something new' for April and I'll write about it tomorrow.  

I'd actually like to tie #1 into #4 by trying new workouts and buying more Groupons (there's always something fitness related!), but I don't always want to do some of the stuff by myself.  When I asked my boyfriend if he wanted to purchase a Groupon for some random Cross-Fit class, he just muttered "...or we could just go to the gym."  We aren't exactly regulars, but our gym SUCKS, so I don't really see what's wrong with supplementing it with some fun stuff.  No drop in classes, no stair steppers or high-tech equipment, no showers, and no cleaning materials (yeah, it's gross).

5.  Write for fun at least once a week.  Again, another fairly successful resolution.  When I'm not writing on my blog, I'm writing in my personal journal.  There was a short time between February and mid-March that I wasn't really writing, though.  No big deal!
