Thirty one days
I've now blogged every day for thirty one days. I didn't think it was possible (and I am probably the only person in the world for whom it has been an edifying experience) but I did it.
The following statements are also true:
- I haven't had a Diet Coke -- or any soft drink whatsoever -- in 31 days.
- I haven't eaten french fries in 31 days.
- I took 94 items to Goodwill in the last 31 days. I was shooting for 100, but I'm happy with 94.
I hadn't planned for this to amount to a grand exercise of any kind, but in retrospect it seems to be about decluttering my body as well as my home, and therefore my mind. My jeans are a little looser, my kitchen has a little more usable storage space and I sleep better knowing that I made good choices during the day.
It has been a good month. Now let's see if I can keep this momentum for another 29 days...
Thanks for reading!
Congratulations. It feels so good when we actually accomplish what we set out to do. I've enjoyed reading your blog everyday too. I hope you have a good February, whatever the goals.

Congratulations. Keep going girl!!!
A new habit takes 21 days to solidify and you've gone an extra ten so you'll do it easier the next 29.
I've only just heard about project 365. Now I'll have to research 31 days.
gosh this blogging is turning into fun.
