Every now and then I like to stop and update, review and plan.
This week is all about the blood drive.. it’s become a huge thing. I hope we get at least 30 people there. I know the challenge is 45, and it would be incredible if we got anywhere near that. I’m going to put together a list of all the places that have donated first thing in the morning – it’s quite a list. I will publish on this blog so everyone can see I’m not doing this alone.
I have taken out two of the challenges that just couldn’t be completed (out of my control). Number 18 was originally to dress up as a Junior Achievement Pyramid, but they didn’t have the costume ready for the event, number 32 was to be an Elf at the mall, but the ‘elf insurance’ was a problem. I have had two new challenges come in this week and so I have put those in place.
I still only have 33 challenges so am open for more, but I have till September 2010 to complete them.
The two new challenges are: to write a blog post every day for 45 days, and to make a self portrait. I am happy to attempt both of those. The discipline of writing a blog post every day for the next 45 days will be good for me, I will attempt to do it on both blogs, here and on thatspeaker.com – we’ll see if I make it. It will certainly help me develop new habits. The self portrait sounds interesting. At the moment I have no idea what I will do but I’m sure I will have fun doing it.
The weight loss is slow but I’m determined to get right back on it and make it happen a bit quicker. Tomorrow I’m going to start working out again, I stopped due to a knee injury and abject laziness.. but I have 13 miles to run at somepoint.
I have started some of the others (as you can see by the blue highlighting) and am plodding through them slowly! I need to get back into gear on some things. I guess I know what my New Year’s Resolutions are this year!
I have some great things coming up. After Christmas I will share my fund-raising idea to send a wonderful child to Camp Bon Couer – it’s gonna be fun (and slightly different)
I would like to thank everyone who has been involved, by challenging me, by helping me with a challenge, by reading this, by commenting and by sharing on twitter, facebook and other blogs. I love to know you are out there. If you have never commented I would love to hear from you and know you are out there.
Thanks for reading, and most of all, thanks for holding me accountable.
