Day 508 progress

I've crossed the halfway point in my project.  As of this post my progress is such:

- 33 completed items.

- 20 items in progress.

- 48 items not started.

Overall my progress is pretty good, considering that many of the items in progress are long term goals, and a large number of the items not started are single instance or short term goals.

Here is my recent progress:

 

2. Do a 10 day Master Cleanse (COMPLETED): With a lot of willpower, I completed my first and likely last Master Cleanse ever.  I did lose 14 pounds over the 10 days, but more importantly I had time to reflect on all the things I was craving, but did not actually need.

Now, with my digestion sorted out, I can realign my dietary goals and make better decisions than I had in the past.

 

25. Listen to every one of my tracks on iTunes: I've been listening to a lot of music lately, and I've made significant progress since my last post.

So far I have listened to 5833 tracks out of 7155 total tracks.  I am 81.52% of the way through my collection.

 

29. Record 3 original songs (COMPLETED): On July 14th, 2008, Dylan and I cut the final part to "Nice Boots", a clean bass part intended to match with the effected bass part.

At this point, I've been party to three completed recordings, "Love's a Sigh", "Grin and Bear", and "Nice Boots", all of which are original compositions by the band of which I am a member.  Mixing still needs to occur, but the recording is complete, fulfilling the intent and requirements of this item.

 

37. Eat at home for one month: In my excitement over ending the Master Cleanse I partook of a pizza, which I had delivered.  A lack of patience on my part is forcing me to restart this item.

 

41. Refrain from ingesting caffeine for 90 days: As with item 37, I failed to stick with this item.  The offer of a free bottle of Coke with my pizza was too much to resist.  I know this is in stark contrast to my desire to make better choices, but we learn as much if not more from our failures as we do our successes.

 

51. Save $1 cash each day for 1001 days: I received a dividend check from one of my investments, and I decided to put that money toward this goal.  I set aside $49, bringing my total to $714 of $1001.
