- Exercise a minimum of three times a week - Ummm, this one isn't as good. I averaged 2.38 times a week for the first quarter. Some of those were yoga classes and some of the running days were run/walk heavy on the walking. No surprise then that my St. Pat's Dash was as bad as it was. The last two weeks have been much better and I am hitting my three run minimum and it has been more running than walking so I feel like I can pull this one back in line.
- Lose 30 lbs. - Nope. But I am lower than I was two weeks ago. So that is something, right?
- Volunteer at least 40 hours - At quarter's end I was at 4.5 hours but put in four more last night and have some things lined up that should be fun. And yes, I count the half hour of someone trying to poke my skin and drain my blood as volunteer time. That just isn't the fun kind.
- Take four different classes - I have signed up and taken two so far: yoga every Monday and a one-time embroidery class. I am not counting the ballroom dancing classes that we were doing through March until our teacher retired because I was already signed up for those when I set my goal.
- Travel one place in state I have never been before - Not yet, but I think wine in Walla Walla is calling my name.
- Travel one place out of state I have never been before - Done! New York City, Virginia and Hershey, PA
- Read a minimum of one book a month - I was afraid I might have low-balled this when I set the goal and I think I did. It just seems like there wasn't enough time to read the past few years so I wasn't sure I could find the time to squeeze in even this small amount. Turns out if you make time even a few minutes a day and also have a vacation that involved long plane rides you can accomplish lots o' reading. It also helps if you (inadvertently) pick some shorter books. Through the first quarter I have eight books under my belt.

Will there be a bunny death scene photo this year? I don't think I ever saw one from last year -- I love those!
