June CHANGES Update

Filed under Personal

Here’s my update of progress for the various CHANGES in my life I’m trying to create.  You can read more about the original concept in the post, “Introducing Small Changes To Your Life,” and also updates from February, March, April, and May.

CHANGES For May:

  • Complete A Puzzle – I went to Wal-Mart and picked up a 765 piece puzzle of the Las Vegas skyline, and I actually completed it in about a week or so.  I think I became obsessed with it and ended up working on it for hours after everyone went to bed.  But nonetheless, I completed it!  I think I’ll get another one soon, because it was actually kind of fun!  (Grade: A)
  • Cook A Fancy 3 Course Meal For My Wife – I pulled this off for Mother’s Day.  I sent the Mrs away for a few hours of “mommy time” and then I prepared some delicious goodness.  I had a shrimp appetizer, home-made Caesar salad, steak, potatoes, corn, and then the grand finale was strawberry cheesecake made from scratch.  That was a chore, but it was fun.  (Grade: A)
  • Build A Fence – This was a pain in the rear, but we completed it!  Between my brother-in-law and my dad, it was a multi-week process but glad to have it finished.  In addition, we built a garden and have planted some strawberries, peppers, tomatoes, and cilantro.  I’m very domesticated!  (Grade: A+)

CHANGES For June:

  • Develop A Workout Routine/System (and stick to it!) – I started off at the beginning of the year and was running pretty consistently.  But my knees started bothering me, so I ended up just stopping for a while.  I noticed I had a lot more energy and felt better when I was running, so I need to get back into that.
  • Take A Road Trip With The Family – We actually have a couple of road trips happening this month.  Next weekend, I’m speaking at an event in Illinois, so the girls are tagging along and we’re going to Chicago for a few days.  Then the following week, they are coming with me to Dallas for an event I’m speaking at.
  • Finish Learning The Rubik’s Cube – I’ve learned the first 5 steps, but just never learned how to wrap it up.  I’m almost there!  Need to finish this…
