January mini goal wrap up

Following the inspiring leads of many others, I decided to set myself a few mini goals for January to get the ball rolling and make that New Year's momentum keep rolling.

Let's see how I did:

Snowflake - $100. Either from change or skimming off leftover weekly jar money. This money I will put towards my Back to School goal of $500

So I flaked $62 from my Christmas lottery scratchers. That gave me a  healthy start to my goal. It was added to my 'back to school goal' earlier this month. I did four noon hour supervisions. deductions take about half of the 'earnings' but that brought me in about $40.  thank goodness for these two since rolled change was zip this month.

track my points

I would say I was 90% successful with this. Being away with the curling team for a couple weekends threw things off a bit. Rink food is hard to resist even with a few healthy snacks. I also learned my old phone won't take the new upgrade for WW

Lose 3 lbs

Success. Wheeee

Treadmill 6 out of 7 days per week

This was 95% successful. The weekends I was up at 6 AM and didn't get home til 10 PM threw this off a bit. Add to that a couple migraine days where breathing made me cry.

Read 1 fiction and 1 non fiction book

I read my fiction book. My non fiction was on recipes for colitis.

Do one outside the box thing this month

Well originally I planned to go see Gail Vaz Oxlade in Saskatoon. That would have been awesome. It ended up that we had to take our curling team out of town that Tuesday, so it was a no go. I did end up going to a presentation by the Muslim community. I hadn't been to anything like this before.


I would have to say that overall, my mini goals were successful and it gave me a different way of framing things as I looked ahead for the month.
