This blog will be my chronicle of monthly challenges to myself: get up at the same time every morning for a month, eat a raw food lunch every day for a month, work out on a regular schedule for a month, floss every night for a month... whatever. Whatever for a month.
May is just a few days away, so that will be my first challenge month! My first challenge is TBA. Feel free to comment with suggestions.
The plan for each month is to post by the first day what the challenge is, and update weekly with costs incurred, challenges met, challenges run away from, and so on. The idea of keeping a Julie & Julia style year long project doesn't exactly give me the confidence to say "Challenge accepted," but individual months of different challenges have worked well for me in the past. The best example of this was the meatless month I did a few years ago, which helped me decide to become a vegetarian.
A bit about me, the challengee (and challenger; the power has already gone to my head): I'm a 27 year old female living in Madison, Wisconsin (USA, USA!), with my husband and two cats. We live in an apartment and are planning to buy our first house this summer. I'm studying Library and Information Science, working on the graduate degree I need to be a librarian. I have two part-time jobs and usually take a low full time courseload of three classes each semester. I'm an ovo-lacto vegetarian--I use almond milk for drinking/cooking but eat yogurt, eggs, cheese.
Strengths: I'm hella devoted to my causes and feel like my ethical core is solid. I don't let problems fester even if fixing them is hard. I can make pretty good fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants presentations. I can make people laugh. I'm able to work on very minute projects/crafts (like my wedding invitations).
Weaknesses: Doughnuts. I suck at trying or re-trying foods I hate on principle or didn't like the first time I tried them (onions, mostly). Sleeping in. Doughnuts. Getting distracted on the internet. Worrying. Not a lot of cash on hand.
