Halfway Point

2011 is halfway over. Well, or it will be tomorrow, or the day after, depending on how you calculate it. Seriously, I read a website where people were debating which day was the halfway point and I didn't feel like doing the math, or anything, so I'll just say that at some point this weekend the year will be half over.

As such, I wanted to revisit my goals for 2011, which I posted at the end of December. They were:

My goals for this year aren't quite so crazy as last years goal, but I do want to continue to make some good progress on my 101 in 1001 list. I would love to be a little over halfway done at the end of 2011 (at least with the goals that aren't the "do this every month for the whole 1001 days"). 

I want to do better at doing the dishes every night before I go to bed because I HATE waking up to a sink full of dishes. Sure there are the nights that I can't get all the dishes done because the dishwasher is running, but that isn't every night. 

I want to do better at taking the trash out on MWF mornings. I hate getting stuck with boxes that just take up space because I forgot to get the trash out on time. And I hate walking to the dumpster, it isn't very close to our building. 

I want to do better at eating breakfast AND lunch instead of a lunch-ish food in between when those two meals should be. egg rolls for brunch probably isn't the greatest. also, that could decrease the amount of other crap i snack on.

Maybe I'll even give sushi/fish a shot in 2011. Maybe.



Well... halfway through the year and I have accomplished 56/101 goals from my 101 list. That puts me at 55%. I'd say I'm definitely doing well on that goal.


The other three goals: dishes, trash, and eating distinct breakfast & lunch meals... not so hot. As I blogged a few days ago, I haven't been doing very well at doing my dishes at night. I need to start doing that again. I really prefer cleaning pots and pans when there isn't hard/crusty stuff in them. The whole trash situation, well I only have to deal with it for another few weeks, so I'll try really hard over the next few weeks to get my trash out before the guys come to pick it up. As for breakfast AND lunch... that will take a little more work. I need to buckle down on my nighttime routine so that I can fall asleep quicker and easier, so that I actually get a good nights sleep and don't end up going back to bed when Chris leaves for work. Then I'd be more likely to eat both breakfast and lunch instead of a funky combo of the two. Maybe forcing myself to not go back to sleep will also help me to fall asleep better at night, yeah... probably. I definitely need to work on those sleeping habits. 


As for the sushi/fish goal. haha, what a joke. That isn't going to happen anytime soon. Although I have been eating more tuna sandwiches than just about any other time in my life, so maybe that counts?
