I think I've actually finally forced myself to form a new habit. I officially completed goal #55 - take a multivitamin every day - a few months ago, but Greg and I have been pretty good about continuing to do so.
The only times we really miss are those nights that we eat out, which isn't often. Other than that, the vitamin containers stay sitting out on our kitchen counter as a daily reminder while we're cleaning up after dinner. Go us!

#43 - Get new glasses
I only ever wear my glasses in the early morning when I'm just waking up or late at night when I'm getting ready for bed. Other than that, I'm either wearing contacts or as blind as a bat.
Perhaps that is because the only pair of glasses I've had for the last 3 years are from a really old prescription. They get the job done, but I wouldn't trust myself to drive with them. I finally buckled down, made an appointment and dropped some major cash to get a new pair.
Maybe I'll actually venture outside with these...

#52 - Um, halfway...
In last week's game, I did actually score a soccer goal.
Too bad it was for the WRONG TEAM! ::hanging head in shame::
I am still mostly a defender so I was in front of our goal, blocking an opposing player, when our goalie smacked the hell out of the ball. It hit squarely on the side of my foot. A perfect connection. And rebound straight into our own net. Doh!
No good.

#21 - Buy a new dining room table & chairs
We hit the Four Hands Warehouse sale two months ago and struck gold!
So pretty!
So pretty!
#15 - Refinish and repaint the front door
We recently repainted our backyard deck, or more specifically, failed miserably at our attempt and so hired someone to do it for us. We went ahead and also hired the guy to refinish and repaint the front door.
The heat has already put a few cracks in the new paint, but it looks so much better than it did before with dull bit of paint flaking off all over. So this task is officially done.

#54 & 55 - Done!
I did it. Yay!
I went an entire month with no fast food AND I took a multivitamin every, single day.
I even got my husband to take the vitamins with me, which was a very good thing. Without his regimented self-discipline, I would have had to restart the vitamin count-down many, many times over. But he was good. Several times he reminded me right before bed that we needed to take them. This Saturday, when I was about to pass out from mojito overdose, he even brought them to my bed with a glass of water. That saved my butt! It was the LAST day of the month-long streak. How badly would that have sucked...
So I'm taking them. And I will continue to take them. And hopefully this will become more and more ingrained into my daily habit. But as for the fast food thing, my month+ streak ends today. I forgot my lunch and am starving so it's off to grab a "healthy" salad from Wendy's.
Feels good to do those though. Good luck to everyone on their uber-healthy goals too.

#52 - I WAS ROBBED!
Goal #52 was to score a soccer goal for my team. This is pretty difficult to do considering that I'm a bad-ass (all things considered...) defense player and therefore I spend most of my time back near our own goal. And I certainly don't want to score there. It's rare that I push up enough to even make an attempt at scoring.
Well, during our last game we were short on players. So as the game progressed, we started getting worn out and not running as much. That's when I noticed that there were only 2 people playing on offense - the rest of us were lolly-gagging at the back - so I ran up to help.
During one exciting play, my husband, me and one of the other guys had the ball bouncing all over the place at the opponent's goal. Someone made a shot. It missed and bounced off the wall. Someone else took a shot. Same thing. Their goalie dived to try to catch the ball, but he missed and somehow I took possession. I had a window! And I was going for it!
I knew I had to kick it high because someone had fallen on the ground in front of me. I knew the goalie was still recovering from his last dive. So I lined the shot up and took it. And it was perfect! It was high, right in the middle, and dropping, about to go in, and ohmygod...
... and then...
...and then...
...some asshat - NOT the goalie - reached up with his hand and bumped the ball just enough to bounce it up and out of the scoreline! Which, by the way, if you don't know is completely illegal! It's cheating, you @$#^@$#% #$%#@$^ %^*$%^!
It would have been my only goal ever! And you stole it from me! You mean, stupid boy!
So I didn't score after all. :( And he didn't even get sent off. Bad call. But I'm not bitter.
Tonight we're playing again. Kharmically speaking, I'm due.
