30-While-30 Two Month Update

Today is my monthly update on how I’m doing with my 30-while-30 list. I made a decent amount of progress this month, so that’s exciting. The food related tasks are the ones I haven’t really been focusing on. I’m sure I’ll get to them though!

Food / Blogging

Chocolate Mosaic Cheesecake
Gnocchi
Donuts
Eggs Benedict
Laminated dough (either danishes or croissants)
Make bread at least 4 times
Bake at least 4 layer cakes
Buy a whole coconut. Open it. Do something (delicious) with it.
Make at least one thing from each cookbook I own – any cookbooks that don’t get used in a year, donate or giveaway on here – I started making my list of cookbooks. I plan to post it on here shortly.
Cook with 3 new foods – Being part of a CSA this summer has been AMAZING. I’ve definitely already cooked with 3 new foods, including this Summer Shrimp Salad.

Relationships

Send birthday cards to my and Hubby’s families (including siblings, parents, nephews, etc)
Continue to bake for a good cause
Go see my sister’s new house
Go on a girls weekend getaway – Done! I spent a weekend in St Louis with my mom and two sisters in July. It was a great time.
Volunteer 4 times

Random

Get another tattoo
Pay off my car – Done! Hubby sent in the final check a couple weeks ago!!!!
Decide on a signature / go-to cocktail
Watch a sunrise
Read 4 books – I know this may not seem like a lot because some people read more like 50 books a year, but I honestly never read… So far, I’ve already read Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows and Water for Elephants.

Healthy living

Walk another Avon Walk for Breast Cancer – I’ve signed up to talk in NYC this October – I need to get on track with training more!
Continue to work out on a regular basis – I’ve actually been doing a really good job about working out this month. I’ve been averaging 3x/week!
Treat myself to 6 massages – one down, 5 to go
Get my first facial
