February, the month when you forget what your resolutions were.
Learn to cook 1 meal a month
I bought the ingredients for February's meal yesterday and will probably make it sometime this week. But technically, I'm still 1/12.
Tracking: 1/12
Lose 15 pounds
Exercise and all those things that help you lose weight got pushed aside for other things.
Tracking: 3.5/15
Fully fund my emergency fund
There are two ways to have more money in your pocket (or savings account): cut your spending or increase your earnings. I took a step forward on the second option by accepting a new job/promotion, which should almost put me on track to fully fund my fund by year's end.
I also figured out a better way to show my progress without putting a dollar amount out on the internet. My goal is to have 6 months of expenses covered by my emergency fund, so I'll now be tracking this resolution by how many months I have covered (instead of the irrational good/bad model).
Tracking: 4/6
Eat 1 fruit or veg a day
Still not purposefully grabbing a piece of fruit everyday.
Tracking: Need to do better
Check off 1 Life List item
Multiple plans with multiple options, some more feasible than others. But it looks like I'm on track to get a least one item ticked off this year.
Tracking: 0/1
Finish 6 house projects on our to-do list
I've been house dreaming a lot these days. Paint colors, landscaping, new kitchen, etc. But I don't think any big projects are going to happen this year. But I did get another small project done and so far the repair is holding.
Tracking: 2/6
Live by the One In/One Out & Would You Take it to England rules
A few trips to Goodwill and most of what I was planning to get rid of is gone. My parents still have a bunch of stuff for me in their garage, but that mountain is shrinking. Eventually there won't be boxes of childhood stuff waiting for me in the guest bedroom. Tracking: Still going well, but need to pick up the pace
Start dressing like an adult
I've got an adult/non-mop-top/trendy-dad haircut to go with the new look. I still need to pick up a few final touches, but this one's close to done.
Tracking: On the right track
Complete the $10 challenge
Tracking: Still calling it done
