March was a cold month and I’m glad it is over! I hope that spring weather will grace us with its presence in April. Now I want to share how I’m doing with my goals to this point. All of my goals can be found here.
Yearly goals:
- Try at least 12 new recipes (one per month). – We have done a lot of traveling this month so I didn’t do a lot of cooking this month.
- January – Quinoa Meatballs
- February – Mushroom Lasagna
- March – Chicken Quesadilla
- Reach my target weight by the end of the year. – Loss of 1 lb. this month
- Knit a Fair Isle vest. (not started yet)
- Learn to chain ply some handspun yarn. (not started yet)
- Dye yarn and fiber. (not started yet)
- Spin my camel, yak, and cashmere fiber. Amended to add: or try different techniques
- January - spun camel/merino/silk blend fiber in
- March – tried drafting back when spinning instead of my usual short forward draft. This made my yarn turn out much loftier.
Daily/Weekly/Monthly goals:
- Daily - Read the bible and keep a log so I can tell how I am doing. – I’ve read it every day in January, February, and March
- Daily - Do strength exercises for 30 minutes each day. – I have done this every day.

This month was much better! I made my new recipe at the beginning of the month. I also worked out harder and watched my calories better this month.
