I’m currently working towards completing 12 goals in the year 2012.  Here’s the progress I made in January:

Style

• Fill at least 12 of the gaps from my Wardrobe Gaps list.  I bought the above skinny jeans using store credit at Revolve, only to realize that maybe they weren’t such a gap after all.  I have yet to actually wear them out, mostly because I’ve grown to like boot cut jeans more as they flatter my figure better.  I’ll probably end up wearing these with tunics at some point, but I’m not sold on skinnies right now.
• Blog at least one outfit a week.  Blogged an outfit once a week in January.  Yay!

Crafty

• Knit a Fair Isle Sweater.  I picked out a possible pattern, but I haven’t had the money to buy the yarn yet.
• Sew three garments for myself.  I’ve done some minor alterations, but I’ve been too busy for a full garment yet.  I’m looking forward to spring break in March for this one.

Pot Roast made in oven, with roasted potatoes (which are not Paleo, but still delicious)

Health

• Try one new Paleo recipe every month: While I had technically made pot roast before, I had always made it in a crock pot.  In January I made it in the oven using a slightly different recipe.  I still like the crock pot version better, but the oven one can be useful if you don’t have enough lead time to use a crock pot.
• Get that co-op subscription/ or go to a Farmer’s market once a month:  This one just didn’t happen
• Go to the dentist:  Didn’t have enough money for the dentist in January as things were still tight from Christmas.  February is turning out to be insanely busy, so this will probably be in March.

• Be able to do at least one unassisted pull-up or chin-up: Not even close yet
• Try at least one new-to-me or oldie-but-goodie form of exercise:  I’ve been scoping out some inline skates at a few sporting goods stores, but other than that, no progress.

• Finish my teaching certificate:  Signed up for the last of the courses I need.  Started to get my paperwork in order.

Life and Money

• Have $500 in my savings account by the end of the year:  I’m pretty proud of myself on this one.  I went to my credit union and set up an automatic payroll deduction of $20 a paycheck directly into my savings account.  Now I can save up $500 by the end of the year without having to think about it.
• Keep my credit card paid off:  I paid off a substantial chunk of my credit card debt with my tax return.  I still have about $230 left to pay off, which isn’t bad at all.

Overall assessment of the month:  Pretty decent progress for 31 days and tight finances.
