March Update

  1. Physical: Plan (and carry out) workouts for the week. Well, I've sort of managed that. Sort of. Just not this third week of March. And I've not managed to do the exact ones that I planned, but they have made me feel guilty about not working out, so I've done a little more than previously.
  2. Cultural: Whenever I have a seat on the subway, I have to read my book.  Well, that's not been perfect, but the resolution has certainly made me read more. Of course, I've managed to pick serious books that require a lot of reading and slow going - but they've been phenomenal so far. 
  3. Apparent: Wear earrings every day. This has not happened 100%, but I'm definitely, again, wearing them more than normal. It's just not going to be something that I do that often, but I'd forgotten how much I like a few pairs I own, so definitely going to wear those more often.

March Objectives

With February safely out of the way I'm back off the wagon and have a new set of goals for the month.  Which are as follows:
  1. Physical: Plan (and carry out) workouts for the week.  I'm not planning on a specific number, but I am hoping that this will spur my use of my planner, and will be something I actually stick to. So the resolution is a twofer - and, of course, that's not at all cheating. Ahem. 

  2. Cultural: I listen to podcasts a lot. I adore them. But I need to read books! Books! On Goodreads I set myself a target of 60 books this year, and I'm failing miserably: I've read 6 and it's March. I'm so behind! Therefore I need to get on reading, particularly as I have a backlog of exciting-looking library and Christmas-gifted books to read. So the resolution is that whenever I have a seat on the subway, I have to read my book. I can't keep defaulting to Football Weekly, Savage Love, The Bugle, and (my current favourite) How Did This Get Made?
  3. Apparent: My other half noticed that I don't really wear earrings much anymore. And he's right. I have lost a lot of one half of a pair of earrings I really like, and I have found that so disheartening, particularly after one that I adored from Kenya (so really not replaceable), that I sort of gave up. But I want to start again. So, for March only, it's earrings every day. EVERY DAY, I tell you!
So that's March. You?
