February Recap:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Squat Challenge –<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I was doing so well with my squat challenge and then in the second week, I started to have knee pain. It was pretty bad for two days (to the point where it was even uncomfortable using my standing desk at work). I decided to take a break from the squats to see if that was aggravating my knees and I believe it was.<\/p>\n

I was bummed! I was feeling really good about doing the squats but I think maybe it was too much too soon too often. So I took a break and then went back and modified the challenge. I did squats every other day and did less than what was planned. I also did other exercises to focus strength training on my glutes (like Donkey Kicks)<\/a><\/strong><\/span>.<\/p>\n

I still call that challenge a success, even though I modified it.<\/p>\n

Get Organized –<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I did A LOT to get organized in February.\u00a0I went through my makeup and cosmetics and threw out old stuff. I got some new organizational baskets for the bathroom.<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

I went through my wardrobe and donated a lot of stuff that doesn’t fit anymore, or I never wear it, or it looks worn out and old.<\/p>\n

I moved an old bookcase into Logan’s room (there was a nightstand there before) so I could organize his books onto the shelves (they were scattered all over his room) and put all his stuffed animals in one spot. I donated some of his old clothes that don’t fit, I went through other baby stuff (and toys) to give to a friend who is having their first baby soon. It felt so good to be straightening up!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I bought a big plastic tub with a lid to put all the unused jars (for canning) in one place instead of scattered all over the garage. I got these organizers for my closet:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We went to IKEA one day and got two of these:<\/p>\n

They are really going to help with the office organization and the clutter. I’m glad we bought two, too. This is the before<\/em> in the office closet:<\/p>\n\n\t\t
