Wishes & Goals 2010 Check-Up - June

Where did May go? I feel like I only reflected on April yesterday and now I've been flung into the busy month that is June. May was miserable though, as you can see in the calendar as compared to the goals.

May brought on some changes in my life that I'd thought I handled pretty well, but a look at how well I was doing on my goals shows otherwise - I struggled with getting to bed at a decent time and I even managed to miss snacks! A goal-per-goal breakdown:

My Goals for 2010
7+ hours of sleep/11:15 PM bedtime
The changes in my life have brought on changes in my sleeping schedule (and there are more changes this month), so by the third week of May I was able to push into a consistent "bed by 11:15" schedule. Unfortunately, going to bed half an hour later most nights is not really a lot and I overshot the amount of time I had and rarely ever made it to bed on time. But even before the change I was doing so good in terms of getting to bed, just stressing out about this and that. Perhaps that was part of the reason why I was in such a bad mood for the most of the month; fortunately for all it was a short one.

Each snack must contain a vegetable or a fruit.
I allowed myself to lose track of time and miss a few snacks this month, but looking at the calendar it wasn't actually as much as I thought it was. While I was away in Montreal I allowed myself to be at the mercy of the organizers, as I'd remembered being quite well fed at the last conference I was at two years ago - this resulted in a few missed snacks and snacks without vegetable or fruit. So I need to remember to go back to carrying snacks in my purse.

Be able to do 100 full, proper pushups without stopping by December 2010.
I am making progress on my full pushups, although I'm a little bummed that that means the less-than-10-reps-per-set days are long gone and I am up to 20-something reps per set... and struggling. I am currently repeating Week 3 of the six-week workout, and expect to be repeating weeks as I continue (I alternated weeks 5 and 6 for a long time before I was able to do 100 pushups from my knees.) I'm glad that I have until December to reach my goal.

I will save at least ⅓ of my paycheque every month in hopes of buying a house/condo within walking distance from my work by 2011-2012.
I managed to save just under half of my paycheque this month, which is good, but probably the least I have managed to save in a month thus far. June is looking surprisingly good so far - somehow haven't accrued as many expenses as I have in past months (maybe because I'm not taking all those trips!)

Drink at least 48 oz of water at least three days a week.
I was unable to meet my goal during the first two weeks, perhaps because I still am not counting any other beverages to the total intake. On the third week I managed to meet my goal... because I don't think I bought any "milk" that week. While I was away I was not good about carrying around a water bottle and thus did not drink enough water. I'm still convinced I can meet my goal even with the glass of "milk" at lunch!

My Wishes for 2010
Do a thorough room purge
My room is getting out of hand - on my desk is a stack of papers, unopened credit card bills (which I check and pay online) and unorganized receipts. My closet is overflowing. My jewellery is scattered everywhere. I need to turn this into a goal...

Recipes/Techniques I wanted to try this year:
I didn't try any recipes, but The Cowboy Trail trip that B. and I went on was heavily inspired by posts by Gwendolyn and Cheryl... does that count?

Blog Stuff
Continue upward trajectory of posts this year
I posted 6 entries in May 2010, vs. 4 in 2009.

Include nutrition information for my recipes whenever possible
Still haven't finished backtracking yet.

Rewards
I don't think I deserve any...
