How time flies ... time to update the list!

Well, well ... as is customary for me, I started this wonderful project and haven't been able to give it the time and attention it deserves. But(!) I have been making some headway nonetheless. I thought it was time to give a little update to let those of you following this know what the heck is going on with me and my nutty list.

So, taking it section by section:

Health & Fitness
1. Complete Couch to 5K program - yeeeaaaah ... haven't really started this one. Really need to get my butt off the couch before it gets any larger. Really, really do want to do this. Seems that working out is difficult to schedule when I am home alone with the kiddos from 5:00a to 3:30 or so, and then I start working (from home) at 4:00, until late at night. Must, MUST give this one more attention.

2. Run in a 5K - see above

3. Run in a 10K - again, see above

4. Run in a half-marathon - good lord, see above

5. Run in a marathon - God willing, this WILL happen by 2011!

6. Get entire family on regular doctor/dentist visit schedule - hey, actually working on this one - pats on the back for me.

7. Participate in Avon Walk for Breast Cancer - maybe next year.

8. Get back into the habit of taking a daily multi-vitamin - DONE!

9. Find a good doctor for fibromyalgia - as it turns out, there are no fibro specialists in the area. Not even in Chicago. Go figure. Closest is apparently Ann Arbor, Michigan, which doesn't do me much good. I did, however, find a rheumatologist who is willing to treat me, and work with me rather than be dismissive.

10. Try the fibromyalgia protocol from Fibromyalgia Treatment Center - Done, as in I decided not to do it after all.

10. Join the YMCA - not so much yet.

11. Walk the dogs regularly - hey, I actually started this. Yes, I did. Now, consider that Zoe can't walk more than a block and Echo thinks she can, but not really. But still, even short walks count for little dogs.

12. Give up soda for 30 days (0/30) - I am about to pee my pants I'm laughing so hard at this. Maybe in a few months. Caffiene is close to my only vice these days.

13. Try yoga for one month (0/30) - Does it count if I tried it once?

14. Get prescription sunglasses - one of these days. I need new regular glasses first, as Echo thought my current pair would be nice to chew on.
