101 Goals in 1001 Days - Week One Update

Technically, week one ended a few days ago but I like the thought of ending the week on Saturday. I looked over my list again and decided to nix a few of the goals. 'Take a photo everyday' and two of the private goals seemed tedious and offered no financial, social, or health benefits so they've been replaced by:

*Limit calorie intake to 1200 calories/day for 30 days (0/30)

*Visit Duluth, MN (and, possibly, the North Shore) (0/1)

*(Still trying to come up with an interesting one)

I worked on a few of the goals over the week. After replacing my Wii, I had to restart the EA Active challenge I was working on. No big deal, though. I was only a week and a half into it. I also finished reading the first book in my "Read 75 books" goal. "Pop Salvation" by Lance Reynald was a quick, easy read, partly because I adored the characters. Usually, I'm more of a horror and science fiction fan and look for plot-driven novels but this novel has become one of my new favorites. Trying to drink 64 ounces of water and eat 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day is difficult but I expected that. Even though I haven't been doing it as much as I should, I've been eating and drinking more than I normally would though so it's a great goal to keep around.

And, finally, I tried the first drink on my "Try 20 different beverages" goal. Very Vanilla soymilk. The first time I tried soymilk, it was the chocolate flavor by the same company. I gagged when I first drank it and never finished the half-gallon I bought. It tasted awful. This flavor, however, is great. I'm going to try to work a glass or two into my daily diet since it has the protein, calcium, and vitamin B12 I'm probably missing in my daily meals.
