3 Down 13 in progress

Again, I am slacking on keeping the updates to the blog. I've also slacked on a few items on the list. Needless to say its been a little busy and stressful around here. I'll catch up on those items tho, little by little. I am pretty excited about the charity I decided to work with for the fundraiser item. You can check it out at http://www.medals4mettle.org/ . Its an awesome organization that people can contribute their race medals to that get distributed to people in the hospital who are running their own race against injury, disease, cancer, etc. Check it out, its going to be pretty awesome!

Ok, have a great week, and hopefully I'll start posting more....lol....

First Month Complete!!

Well its the end of the first month on this quest. I can't say that I've kept up on all of the things I needed to this month. I've had to adjust some items and just haven't had the time to do some others. I've noticed that after a few days of sit-ups, my lower back starts to hurt pretty bad. I think I'm going to shift the 100 situps/day to 100 situps or back exercises/day. Hopefully working the back out a little will help to balance things. I may also work in some planks too.

I also haven't finished a book this month, its in progress, but its slow going. I think everything that is daily, weekly, or monthly will have to be considered an average because things will always pop up. If I average 1 book/month, then that allows for things to happen during a month and still allow me to catch up the following month.

Overall, its been an enjoyable experience so far. I've gotten a lot accomplished that normally I wouldn't think about. I'm looking forward to another month!!

Adios for now!
