Healthy and Fit for Real

30 Before 30 Monthly Wrap-Up

Another month has flown by and I’ve done a few more things on my list.  Since February is a shorter month, I don’t feel too bad about not getting a ton done. 

1. Run a 5k.
2. Road trip with the BF
3. Do a random act of kindness at least 1 time per month.  RAOK for this month was clean the BF’s bathroom and kitchen for him, without him asking, while he was at a basketball game.  During basketball, he is so busy that it is tough for him to keep up on housework so I just helped him out! 
4. Learn to water ski
5. Volunteer- Still haven’t taken a step towards this so I need to get on it!
6. Go camping again (more than once)
7. Read 10 classic books- These are the books I’ve finished and the one I’m working on:
   1. The Secret Garden
   2. Wuthering Heights
   3. The Mysterious Island
   4. The Jungle
   5. Heart of Darkness- working on this one and about half-way through it.  It’s a quick read but I’m not sure I’m digging it. 
8. Add $ to emergency savings and end up with more than what I use! – More has been added this month due to a tax return and this month I’ll have even more since there’s 3 paydays in March!
9. Spend a day pampering myself- massage, pedicure, etc
10. Go out for a really fancy dinner one night, all dressed up
11. Make homemade limoncello – I made this and created a new delicious cocktail from it.  I have a big bottle at home to drink so that will probably last me for a very long time! 
12. Plan (and save for) a lovely vacation with the BF – working towards this now after my tax return
13. Visit brother in NV (2 for 1 with road trip??)
14. Cook a 3 course meal for someone
15. Take a cooking class (to learn how to cook a 3 course meal?)
16. See a live concert
17. Go to a MLB game outside of Target Field
18. Order a martini at a bar and drink it!- YAY I did this one.  I went out with friends and ordered a pumpkin martini.  Now I realize why I don’t drink martini’s!  I wouldn’t mind trying just a plain martini as this one was sooooo sweet.
19. Have a drink at the Guthrie on the Endless Bridge
20. Make a successful Pinterest craft that can be displayed- I’ve finished this project and it turned out pretty darn good!  I’m excited to have given these as gifts for Christmas, I might have to do something like this annually.
21. Invest in a good pair of running shoes- This month I bought some Asics GT-2000 and they are super comfy.   
22. Play Walmart Bingo
23. Send out hand-written Christmas cards to my close friends and family – I sent out a few cards to close friends/family and I think this might be another annual tradition.  It’s funny how creating this list has helped me find some things that I really enjoyed doing!
24. Use at least part of my tax return for something completely and utterly frivolous.  This will be checked off my list tonight!  I’m buying myself a new camera!  {Image Source}
25. Spend more time with my family.
26. Watch 5 movies off of AFI’s top 100 films.  Still have not watched even 1 of these yet…must.get.started.
27. Tour a state capital
28. Go to the Boundary Waters
29. Go para-sailing in Mexico – Cannot wait!!
30. Go to the Mill City Farmer’s Market and do some taste testing!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Saturday.  My day included a workout, shopping, and now onto some relaxation!
