I also forgot to mention that I met one of my non-scale goals. It was to perform a hard (jig) shoe Irish Dance. I have been dancing a little over a year and have been working to be good enough to perform a hard shoe routine.   If you’re wondering what a hard shoe dance is, think Riverdance It’s loud and fast and a great workout (from the waist down!)

My next non-scale goals are:  Graduate with my M.Ed (May) , pass my NIC certification (I’ll get results in May) and fit into a size 10 (hopefully this summer sometime).  Another one of my goals is to learn to swim, but I’m not ready to commit to a timeline on that one yet.
