February was a partial success for my goals:
1. I exceeded my debt repayment goal by $53, for a total of $2153.
2. I exceeded my savings goal by $957.28, saving $1375.28.
3. I worked out 10 times (just 2 short of my goal), and ate fresh fruit 20 of the 28 days (I was going for every day).
4. So far, we've replaced every product we've run out of with something greener, whether it's a homemade product or something storebought. Our main focuses are reducing packaging and number of harsh ingredients.
5. I completed weaving a piece of fabric out of yarn on a cardboard loom. However, I decided to leave the planting of basil and cilantro to another month.
6. I didn't do much research on philanthropic opportunities, but I did start collecting food for this month's food drive, checked my eligibility for the blood drive (not eligible), and several people brought us more eyeglasses that we'll donate next time we go to the mall.
Overall, a partial success, but considering it was such a short month and I was sick for the first week, I feel good about my progress.
February wrap-up
