January Goals Recap & February Plans

My January Goals were:
1. Lose 5 pounds
2. Put every $1 in the savings and not spend it

Recap:
As of this morning, I am down 6.2 pounds. We are still working to remember to put our $1s in our savings jar. But we've collected about $10 so far. Not too shabby.

My February Goals are:
1. Lose 5 more pounds
2. Organize the garage (and those blasted foot lockers!)
3. Hit 6 miles in my long runs.

One of the things I started on Jan 8th was to work out every day for the rest of the month. I succeded in doing that. I'm hoping to hit 30 total running miles in February.

2012: The Plan

All of you know I am a planner, almost to a fault. However, I don't always follow through on my plans, especially when it comes to plans for myself. I've learned that writing things down and publicizing them help me stay accountable. I have two big goals for 2012, and a bunch of smaller goals. I will focus on the smaller goals one at a time, starting a new one each month. Here are the first few....

2012 Goals: Run 500 miles and lose 52 lbs.

January - put every $1 bill in the change jar for deposit and lose 5 lbs
February - organize the garage, hit 6 mile long runs, and lose 5 more lbs
March - run a 10k in less than 75 minutes, lose another 5 lbs and purge the closets/storage for a yard sale

I also hope to do a lot more coking myself and purchase substantially less processed foods. I plan to make our own breads, frozen waffles, pasta sauces, etc in hopes that we have an overall more healthy lifestyle.
