March Evaluation...

.
#1 - My easy goal! I did the Relay, walked about 47 miles in 16 hours and 42 minutes. I hoped to raise $250 and my total was over $500! I hope to double that to $1,000.00 for next year.
.
I have continued to lose weight slowly. Down below 160 for a couple of weeks now. Everything fits on my body and that feels so good. Many of my jeans and capris are hanging on me. I will need new clothes this summer. *wink*
.
My blood sugars are steady. Not below 100 but not rising either. I am watching what I eat and the amount. Counting the chips, Cheetos, Fritos, etc... each time I eat is getting easier. I'm amazed at how much I was eating before. Now, I fill up much sooner and enjoy the fruits and veggies a lot more.
.
2 - I am continuing to use my perfumes regularly. I have flashbacks when I put on some of them (I have a bottle of Avon's "Come Summer" that I still spray on. Avon is kind of like Pillsbury, they all sort of taste the same with minor differences (only smell, in this case)!
.
3 - I haven't bought any more body washes or lotions - just using up what I had. I am almost done with one and I added one more in the shower for variety.
.
4 - No letter writing. This is my main goal for April. I need to get back on track here. No more excuses or procrastinating. I know I will feel very happy and accomplished in this area when I do.
.
5 - I have been crafting and reading for ideas. I made several ATCs and a card and a piece for someone's frame. I have many ideas and want to get things going there. Karl showed me how to digitally manipulate photos and now I need to spend some time with that program. I can do a lot when I figure that out.
.
6 - I didn't scan any photos but I did go through some more boxes. This will be a month for condensing more boxes and preparing to do something with them.
.
7 - One of my down falls. I have slowed down a lot but I still see some bargains and can't pass them up. I do use them now. That's a plus.
.
8 - I didn't reduce 5 boxes in March but I have sorted through a lot of things. This is a daunting task, which I knew. But, I have the momentum going to help me sift through them. I will have a more concrete goal of this for May and the summer. I want to throw away what I can and recycle what I am able to.
.
9 - I have been going throught the CC receipts. Not done yet but working on it.
.
Another month with productivity. I feel good that I can stay on task which is more than I can say for the last previous 5 or so years. Attaining goals isn't as easy as it looks for me but I keep on plugging. I am keeping up with my blogs better than ever, too. It gives me incentive to read how far I have come. I have other goals that I work on that I haven't even put up on the blog, also. The Relay helped a bunch to see how much I can still do when I put my mind to it. The body is an amazing thing! We need to use our resources more than we ever do.
.
See ya in May!
