February was an excellent month for working on my goals. The
main reason is that we were home all month and got into routines that made it
easier to work on my goals.
Yearly goals:
1.
Reach my target weight by the end of the year. –
my weight has gone up and down this month. I realize it goes up when I
overindulge in potatoes and pasta. I need to avoid them except for a treat once
in awhile.
2.
Finish knitting my Fair Isle vest. – I
finished my vest and I love it!
3.
Spin 4 lbs. of fiber for the year.
a.
January – spun 4 oz. of Into the Whirled
“Rhinebeck”, 4 oz. Hobbledehoy Gemmy Bats
b.
February – spun 4 oz. of Fiber Optic “Turquoise
to Tangerine Gradient”; started on 4 oz. of Pumpkin Queen.
Total: 12 oz.
4.
Use at least 4 skeins of my handspun this year. –
a.
January - Basket Weave scarf
b.
February – Summer Shadows shawl by Angelea
McGarrah
5.
Dye my own yarn or fiber. (rolled over from last
year)
6.
Walk at least 1200 miles this year.
a.
January - 157.71 miles (avg. 5.1 miles per day)
b.
February - 148.34 miles (avg. 5.3 miles per day)
Daily/Weekly/Monthly
goals: Last year, I only had a 60% successful completion rate so I am aiming to
do better than that this year.
1.
Daily – Name 3 things that I’m grateful for each
morning. – I do this every morning before I get out of bed.
2.

enjoyed doing this every day.
3.
Weekly – Contact a friend and tell them
something nice. – I really like doing this.

January - I went out to lunch with my friend
Sandy one week and I’ve contacted others through Facebook.

Contacted long distance friends on Facebook and
wished them happy birthday!
4.
Weekly – Work in my yard/garden at least once a
week.
a.
January - It has been too cold in January to do
too much but I’ve blown the leaves out of the driveway, raked leaves in the
back yard, and fed my worms.
b.
February – raked leaves out of the backyard,
removed branches that have littered the yard.
5.
Monthly – Knit 10 squares on my Mitered Square
Sock Yarn blanket.
a.
January – completed 10 squares

6.

comfort zone.
