Monthly Updates for November

Sorry again. I really have been neglecting my blogs. Hopefully I will have more to update tomorrow now. Anyways, here is my monthly update for November:

001. Read 50 books [2/50]: I finished another book. I guess I have been reading one book a month. But that isn't good because there are only 34 months in my challenge and I need to read 50 books. I am going to make sure to read at least 2 books this month of December.
016. Don't eat fast food more than twice a month, each month [3/34]: Accomplished month number 3. This one isn't very hard for me since I don't really have any money to spend.
018. Lose 50 pounds [8/50]: I've lost 8 pounds since the start of my challenge. Well, actually, I think I only started weighing myself in October, but I'm not exactly sure when. This actually has been surprising because I don't exercise. All I do everyday is wake up and blog, eat, and sometimes go to school. I mainly sit around and go on the computer. So I don't know why I'm losing weight, but I'm happy.
027. Take 10 one-day breaks from the Internet [3/10]: I accomplished two internet breaks in November. Hopefully I can accomplish another one this month.
034. Send 50 postcards via http://www.postcrossing.com/ [50/50]: COMPLETED! I accomplished this task on November 11th. However, this does not stop me from sending more postcards.
035. Donate 100,000 grains of rice at http://www.freerice.com/ [4,160/100,000]: I donated 2060 grains of rice in November. I hope to bring my donation up to 10,000 by the end of December.
061. Watch 26 movies starting with each letter of the alphabet [13/26]: I watched 4 movies in November. This month, I plan on making a list of movies to watch, so later on I don't have to stand around trying to figure out which one to watch.
063. Watch all 8 seasons of Charmed [5/8]: I don't normally blog about this one so I'm not sure how many I've watched in November but I think its been about 2 seasons. And I'm almost finished with season 6.
068. Watch 101 movies [6/101]: I watched 3 movies in November. I actually know that I watched more than this but since I can't exactly remember which movies, and on what dates, I'm not going to add them.
070. Watch a movie from the year I was born (1989): COMPLETED! I accomplished this goal on November 13th. Hmmm...I think that was friday the 13th too. Haha, I made sure I stayed home that day.
078. Put $5 in savings for every task completed [$30/$505]: I have been saving up this money, but just last week I finally opening up an account for it. So now, I have $30 in my bank account.
080. Earn $100 from blogging in one year [$19.49/$100] : Since this is a November update, my earnings as of November 30th is: $19.49 and earnings from November is: $6.12. I am actually only counting Adgitize earnings now. I just started writing paid posts from SocialSpark but I won't add those earnings until I get paid. So for now, I will just be updating Adgitize.
096. Reach 50 followers on this blog [27/50]: I don't update this very often either but I think I've gotten around 10 in November. So, thank you my followers!

As you can see, I've done a lot since October, but I haven't accomplished that many. I only accomplished two goals in November. Do you have a list too? I would love to hear about it. Let me know how your list is coming. Do you think I've been on track, or do you think I need to step it up a bit? Don't worry, you won't hurt my feelings. I think I need to step it up a lot. Well, til next time.

Day 0008

It has been one week since I started my challenge. Since I have a little over 2 and a half years to complete everything, I'd say I'm doing ok. But I wish I would have completed more tasks by now. Well, here are my updates since day 0003.

001. Read 50 books. [0/50]
I'm really trying to finish my current (and first) book. Its not that its boring. Cuz its really not. I just haven't been in the mood to read lately. I love being on the computer. And I love watching TV/DVDs. Maybe that's why I put this goal on my list. I really need to start reading again. Hopefully I will do some reading tonight and tomorrow. Maybe by the end of the month, I'll be finished? Hopefully.
016. Don't eat fast food more than twice a month [0/34]
I ate fast food on Sept 18th. So that's two for the month of September. I actually ate fast food earlier in the month, before I started my challenge.
021. Take multi-vitamins everyday for one month [8/30]
I've actually been really good with my vitamins. I've taken it everyday since the challenge started. So hopefully, I can accomplish this task soon.
027. Take 10 whole-day breaks from the internet [1/10]
I've actually taken my first one. Can you believe it? It was really hard for me. I depend on the internet too much. By 6 PM I was going crazy with boredom. I didn't want to watch another movie. And I surely wasn't in the mood to read a book. I finally settled with watching Charmed. My day break was on Sept 18th.
028. Wake up before 10 AM everyday for a year [1/365]
This one is gonna be a tough one. I really really really hate waking up early. I am definitely not a morning person, I can tell you that. I actually woke up at 8 AM on the 18th because of my dentist appointment at 10 AM but since then, I've slept in. So that one doesn't count. But today, I had a class at 10 AM and actually woke up early. Hopefully I am able to stick to this routine for the next year. I want to become a morning person. I like being awake in the morning. I just hate to actually, wake up.
034. Send 50 Postcards via Post Crossing [5/50]
I sent 5 of them today. International postcards are not cheap! I will remember that next time I want to send a whole bunch of postcards. 50? Was I crazy? That's about $50 in postage alone! But I will stick to it. Because its worth it to me. The more postcards I send, the more postcards I will receive. I can't wait to receive my first postcards in the mail.
061. Watch 26 movies starting with each letter of the alphabet [4/26]
I watched Confessions of a Shopaholic yesterday. I loved it. The book has been one of my favorite books. The movie was a little different. But still good.
063. Watch all 8 seasons of Charmed [1/8]
I finished Season 1 of Charmed the other day. I also watched 4 episodes of Season 2 yesterday.
080. Earn $100 from blogging in one year [$1.58/$100]
Adbrite: $0.17
Adgitize: $1.41
091. Add 100 more playing cards to my collection [4/100]
I bought another pack of cards on Sept 18th. I think it was a Harley Davidson one. It was on sale.
096. Reach 50 followers on this blog [9/50]
I have 9 followers! Yay!

That's all for today. Haha. Yeahh, I know its a lot.
