March Goals check in.

In February, I accomplished very few of my 10 goals. I was mindful of the goals I set for myself in March, and since we’re almost 1/2way through with March (UM WHAT) I figured I’d check in and share my progress. I might do this every month, honestly!

Here are my March Goals, originally posted here.

1. Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge (hello I’m in San Fran, I can’t NOT do that)
2. Save $1,000 (read why here) I’ve added a little tracker to my sidebar!
3. Read 2 Harry Potter books (so finish up through the 5th book)
4. Try 3 Tone It Up recipes
5. Visit a new coffeeshop
6. Add 75 things to my Gratitude Journal
7. Get a manicure 
8. Donate 100 items. I’d decided on this BEFORE my good friend Susannah posted this Uncluttering challenge!
9. Touch an elephant
10. Leave a $20 tip for a bill under $10 (I keep thinking about doing this but I need to just DO it)

Here’s where we’re at! The cool thing is that two of these were items on my 101 list and reading Harry Potter is working towards another thing on my 101 list!

1. Walk across the Golden Gate Bridge 
   I kicked the month off in San Francisco, and while I was there my friends helped make sure I could walk across the Golden Gate Bridge!
   
2. Save $1,000 (read why here)
   I added a little tracker to my sidebar – my goal is to save up $5k overall, and so far this month I’m already at $755.
3. Read 2 Harry Potter books
   I JUST finished reading the 3rd book. I’d hoped to finish 3 and read 4&5 but today when I grabbed the 4th book and looked at the 5th… I forgot how BIG the books got. Hoping to at least finish book 4.
4. Try 3 Tone It Up recipes
   Yikes! I haven’t tried ANY – glad I did this check in so I could be reminded of this!
5. Visit a new coffeeshop
   Yesterday Justen and I went to church with my dad and afterwards we took the opportunity to find a new coffeeshop to visit – we stopped by Blend Coffee in N. Portland. They served Stumptown and were pretty good except I was so distracted that I forgot to finish my really good almond milk mocha.
   
6. Add 75 things to my Gratitude Journal
   So far I’m at 25. Getting there. 😀
7. Get a manicure 
   Done.
8. Donate 100 items.
   My donate pile has around 24 items right now.
9. Touch an elephant
   DONE. On Saturday, Justen and I drove to the Wildlife Safari and we pet AND FED an elephant!
   

   

   

10. Leave a $20 tip for a bill under $10
    Not yet! I haven’t taken the $20 out of the bank, but I’m excited to do this!

I’m at 40% so far! Excited that I’ve already completed more of my March goals than I did of my February ones! Now. Time to get to work on Harry Potter & the Goblet of Fire!
