January 2010 is already done. I can't believe how fast that went! I am one month into the day zero challenge and another year older (I can't believe I'm going to be 30 in 4 years. SCARY!). The bigger question is how am I doing with my list? Let's see...
In progress:
3. Develop a better skin care routine
This is well underway. I've started experimenting with different products that claim to clear up skin. So far, nothing is working - I'm trying though! Over the weekend I picked up some Proactiv to see how that does. It works well for my sister and since we share genes it should hopefully be ok for me! I also have an appointment with my dermatologist next week. I haven't seen him in almost 10 years. A few weeks ago, I decided I should give his office a call and schedule a skin checkup. I am really good about going to the dentist, getting physicals every year, etc. but I never remember to get my skin examined - it needs to be healthy, too! Luckily I try to avoid the sun as much as possible, use sunblock regularly (even when I am out running - I've been good about being diligent about this in my old age) - hopefully nothing is wrong!
26. Get an A in my Developmental Psych class (Spring 2010)& 33. Get a B+ in my Microbiology class (Spring 2010)
I'm two weeks into the spring semester at good old QC. We have already had a quiz in each class and I got 100% on both. Therefore, I currently have an A+ in both of my classes (hey, it has only been a week but that has to count for something, no?). As long as I keep up with this and continue to do my homework and study hard, I think these goals are very achievable!
43. Get to work on time every day in February 2010
I am on day 2 of this item and it's going better than I thought. I need to leave a good 5 minutes earlier, though. I've noticed that by the time I pull into the parking lot, it's 8:29ish and since it takes me 5-10 minutes to get from my car at the back of the parking lot to my desk, I end up "late" by the time I get there. I technically get to work on time, so I guess this counts...
66. Watch every episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm
I am currently halfway through season 4 of this. I need to watch the last disc and then I can ship it back and get season 5 (thank you, Netflix). That means I have 2.5 more seasons to get through before I'm caught up to the current season (7). Score!
101. Donate money to 5 people doing a walk/race/etc. for charity (1/5)
My friend John is doing an American Lung Association race this weekend where he runs up an un-godly amount of stairs - this is the perfect opportunity to donate to a friend doing something for a good cause!
Completed:
41. Keep a food journal for January 2010 and write down every single item I eat/drink
I successfully logged everything I ingested in January. However, this has not resulted in any weight loss. I am down 2 lbs from my heaviest weight, which is a good thing - I was just hoping for better results. I've always read that keeping a food journal helps you eat better because if you have to write it down, you will not be as likely to eat something that's bad for you. This is not true. I did not eat any better in January - maybe it's because it's my birthday month and I ate a lot of cake :)
I'm hoping that now I can go through this food journal and see what I can improve on to help me lose weight!
All in all, I have a lot of items in progress on my list - this is pretty typical of me. I just need to make sure I finish them! I'm pleased that I have another green check on my list - time to go to the bank and make a deposit!
