I'm doing 41 things
After the dormant stage of little water, and little sunlight I started watering my lemon and Orange plants regularly as they’ve been getting more sunlight and they exploded in growth! Well the lemon plant exploded in growth. New leaves and a few inches, while the orange plants grew a few centimeters and got a few new leaves. They are still small. I will be using my orange plants as Bonsai trees. I built a great little table for them to sit on.

How I did it
It made me
feel better 
How I did it: I just stopped going to get fast food. If i'm hungry I wait, or buy some fruit at the store.I plan and pack meals ahead of time. Sometimes I'm starving on the road, but it makes me appreciate real food much more.I will never go back to fast food. The idea disgusts me. Read how I did it…
It made me
smile
How I did it: I found an abandoned plot of land in my apartments yard that had formerly been a flower garden in years past. I ripped up all the weeds, and bulbs of flowers, and hand tilled the ground. I layed out the area for the garden and where I wanted to plant the plants and then bought some seeds and planted them accordingly to the time of spring recommended per plant. I watered them everyday in the evening and eventually they grew! Read how I did it…
It made me
happy but sore
How I did it: I found out about the event from the bartender at my bar, and signed up for it. I immediately began to train at the gym. When the day came I competed with a team of six and finished in 4 hours. I was third on my team to finish. I am now a Tough Mudder! Read how I did it…

The Cabin fever was getting to me and my lovely lady, so we went hiking on the weekends about three consecutive Sundays, but we both started school again so we haven’t been going for a couple of weeks. With the big storm coming I’m wishing I had snowshoes to go trekking the woods.
This requires significant planning. I have a few friends that go every year and say I can’t just wing it. it’s not going to happen for me next year because of school, but I want to get into planning stages anyway.
