It's been half a month, so let's see where we're at!*
The Minutes
5 minutes of weightlifting:
Missed one arm/back day, because I had carried the baby all day since he was incredibly fussy after getting shots. The amount of carrying might actually count as weightlifting?
10 minutes of pilates:
Missed one day, the same day as the missed weights day.
10 minutes of blogging:
Never missed a day! I've been doubling or tripling this, now that I have an ipad and can write and nurse at the same time.
The Long Term
1000 miles by foot this year:
20.3 down. This isn't the greatest. If I was on track, I would have done 41 by now! The pregnancy hormones separated my hip bones painfully and I'm not quite over it so I was expecting a slow start, but not this slow... I should at least be getting out on most days. I use the baby and sleep deprivation as excuses, but they are bad ones.
"Handmade Christmas 2015":
I have found the main patterns and half the supplies needed to get started. But I have yet to actually start... that one I CAN blame on the baby, since I need 2 free hands and half-hour chunks of time that aren't filled with survival stuff like showering, cooking, cleaning, gardening, exercise. This will be my hardest challenge for the year!
Figure out how to grow seedlings:
So far, so good. No actual sprouts yet, but now I am working almost in greenhouse conditions like I did at a job 10 years ago, even down to working with the same potting design, so I've set myself up for success.
Avoiding jeans until Valentine's day:
This is the easiest one of all, since I dislike jeans anyway.
The New One
Stand on one foot while I brush my teeth:
(2 minutes, the sonicare times it nicely). The next day, I switch feet... someone recommended this one to me. This may sound like a totally silly one, but I feel like my balance is off after (ok, and during) the pregnancy. I wobble when I stand up sometimes due to my hips feeling unsteady. Standing on one foot for a long period of time used to be easy breezy, but now I find it taking actual concentration around the 30-second mark! This is such an easy goal to integrate into my daily life that I probably won't mention it here again until I start seeing results.
*Remember that days away from home don't count... there have been 4 of those.
