How I did it
How to keep a journal
It took me
3 months
It made me
happy!

How I did it: I didn't want to count this goal as "met" if I only kept a journal for a week or two and then stopped. So I waited until the habit was established (since January 1 of 2009) to mark this as done!I was inspired by the book The Red Leather Diary, about a woman in the early 20th century who kept a 5-year diary, never missing a day. I purchased a 5-year diary on Amazon and I write a bit in it before I go to bed: mostly about things that h… Read how I did it…

How to drink more water
It took me
2 months
It made me
happy

How I did it: We used to have a water cooler at work but had to get rid of it because of budget cuts. So when that happened, I knew I would have to bring all the water I wanted with me from home (I don't buy bottled water anymore; we have a filter on our tap).

How to read 50 books in 2008
It took me
9 months
It made me

become a runner
Couch to 5K 10 months ago

I have been following the Couch to 5K plan from CoolRunning.com for far longer than the 9 weeks they suggest, and it’s worked really well. Has anyone else used this? Robert Ullrey has put out some good podcasts that go along with the plan too on iTunes.

Stop buying things from Wal-Mart (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 10 months ago

I have done this for one month, no stepping foot into Walmart. It’s been fabulous! I’m planning to keep this up indefinitely, so I’m marking this as “done.” Totally worth it!

Untitled 10 months ago

Ok, one month later, and I haven’t stepped inside a Walmart! It’s been really great, and I don’t miss it at all. I’m looking at keeping this up indefinitely, so it’s marked as “done.”
