Take One, Pass It On Item: striped tee from Tuesday's post
*this is my last TOPIO outfit! I will be posting a summary about the challenge next week!
Is it just me, or is February shorter than the other months!? (if you don't understand jokes: Yes, February is shorter). I feel like I just did my January update and here we are again. For all my new readers (welcome!), I am doing monthly posts on my annual goals, in the hopes that accountability will help me stay motivated!
- Do a project, mostly sewing - it's a small project, but it counts. I have a dress that I bought on clearance at Ann Taylor about a year ago. I love it, but it had a halter top, which is not ideal for my body type. When I bought it, I thought I could modify it pretty easily, but I just never did it. I've worn it a few times, but just as a skirt, with a sweater on top. I finally got around to sewing the ties into normal straps. YAY! It's still not an "every day" dress, but I am excited that I can now wear it for some fancier occasions.
- Work out - this will sound familiar. I met my goal of 3x a week for the first 2 weeks, and then I got sick. Several people have told me it sounds like the other strain of flu, but I am in denial and saying it was just a cold. I have gotten back on track this week, so here's hoping I can stay healthy in March.
- Tackle a project around the house - John and I got the hallway bathroom all painted, and I set it up with the yellow and gray decor! I am pretty excited with the finished product. I will try to take pictures and post about it soon.
- Cook a "real" meal at least 3 days each week. I think I did this. I wasn't keeping track as well. I did try some new recipes, so that is good!
- Stick to a clothing budget - success!
- Read 50 books in the year - I read 3 books in February. If I keep this up, I will only get 36 in the year. I guess I need to start reading more!
How are you doing on your goals for the year?

I like that you post your goals and updates. I started to work out and got sick too, then never got back to it. Maybe March will be a little better for me.
ReplyDeleteYour outfit is pretty awesome too :) Hot pink, stripes and boots are the perfect combo. Have a great weekend. Heather
