March Madness

So March, what a wacky, crazy month. I always thought March Madness meant NCAA basketball, but this month it meant....let's see how freaking crazy we can make Kellye and see if she can survive. Well, damn you, you did your best to beat me down, but you didn't, I won. So suck it. ;)

OK, back to my 2013 plan.

1. Exercise more. I am getting there. Doing a little more each week.

2. Hiking. I got in 17 miles this month. Would have hit the goal of 20, but had to cancel a bp trip due to cold and rainy weather. With beginners with crappy gear. Right decision to cancel, but I really wanted to get out there.

3. Backpacking. Yay for me. Did a nice 12 mile section on the Pine Mountain Trail as an overnight at the end of the month. This made me very, very happy.

4. Read more. Oops. I meant to read, really, but I didn't read a single book or magazine.

5. Eat healthier. Unofficially down 28 lbs. I told y'all I can lose weight like a champion. Now I gotta figure out how to keep it off. The Atkins diet is really working for me.

6. Be more patient. Well, I think I did better at this, but I did quit Trail Dames when I was mad and impatient. But this is the right decision. And my patience won't be tested anymore by something that is supposed to be fun. Now if I could only extend my patience at work.

7. Financial. I have cancelled 2 trips that I was planning. I need NOT to add anything to the credit cards, so I'll be staying home doing cheap stuff. Like hiking and backpacking. ;) That should help a little. And it's tiny, but I finally have a savings account balance of 4 digits...not counting the decimal. So, progress is being made in baby, tiny, peewee steps, but progress anyways.

I think that is it for now. I definitely feel better at this point of April than I have been. So, change is good.
Right? Change is good.
