My Happiness Project: February Goals

Last month I laid out My Happiness Project for the entire year. Let’s refresh our minds (and mine) what I’ll be focusing on for this month.

February

Run 3 Times a Week
Rock Climb Twice a Week (my boyfriend)
No Meat
No Processed Foods, No Candy, No Sugar
No Alcohol Month (my boyfriend’s goal because I don’t drink)
Drink 8 Glasses of Water A Day
Cut Coffee Intake Down to Only 3 Times a Week vs. Everyday (my boyfriend’s addicted to iced coffee)

I am planning to run my first marathon this year, in December, so I need to get in the mindset of running on a regular basis. Running for me is very therapeutic, it gives me time to think and be alone with my thoughts. I also enjoy listening to my music while I run, because it pumps me up and keeps me motivated to run.

Along with training and running, I thought it would be a perfect month to also eat properly. I have a huge sweet tooth, so it will definitely be a tough month for me to really exercise my self control. I don’t think I could be a full on vegetarian but I could definitely eat less meat.

This month I will have to plan my meals in advance and make frequent trips to the grocery store. (Good thing I only live 3 blocks away from the grocery store.)
