March Madness

March is half over already? When did that happen?

DIY projects I have NOT completed thus far:
1.) Organizing my office space.
2.) Organizing and hanging my pictures.
3.) Painting my furnature.

DIY projects I HAVE completed thus far:
1.) Running a half marathon.
2.) My taxes!

Okay, so the half marathon took up a lot of time, and then I had a funky work schedule. Bottom line, instead of spending my free time doing projects I really want to do, I slept. And went on facebook. BUT I'm back in the swing of things, and will hopefully finish organizing my office space tonight. Wish me luck!!

March

Okay, quick review of how my February goal went:
Meh.

I wanted to Shred every day for 30 days. Instead, I completed 25 Shreds in 29 days.

What I learned: Shredding and training for a half marathon is hard. Sydney said it makes me hard core. I think it makes me tired. She said my body will adapt. I think it makes my body hurt. I noticed when I increased the shred to level two, I started getting tired. I had a couple of good days, but mostly average days. Anyway, it was a partially completed project, but I tried something new, AND have found a fun way to strength train.

So I'm going to keep the shred as an every other day thing. Post half marathon, I'll continue to run 4 days a week, and shred the other three. I think this experience has taught me that I am capable of doing anything I put my mind to, and I'm capable of reaching my dream of becoming a runner. It will be mine, oh yes, it will be mine.

March: My original idea for my March project was to complete Making the Cut. I feel I'd be biting off more than I can chew, so I'm going to keep it simple. This month, I'll focus on completing my DIY projects! Project one: Repainting my night stand. Also to come this month: Repainting my dresser, photo collection framing and hanging, and operation office organization. The last one may take all month, but I am determined to have it finished by March 31st.

Wish me luck!
