Ending NaNoWriMo, NaBloPoMo and NaExerMo

I can't believe NaNoWriMo and NaBloPoMo are both almost over. Oh, and my self-imposed NaExerMo, also known as National Exercise Month. (Except it's not really national because I just made it up!)

How did 30 days pass so quickly? You want to know how I did on:
1) writing a novel in a month,
2) posting on my blog every day and
3) exercising every day in the month of November?

Alright, here's the roundup!

NaNoWriMo: Sadly enough, I did NOT get to 50,000 words. I am at 37,941 right now. I've tried to figure out some way I can write 12,059 words in the next day but I am really tired right now and I quite simply lack the time to be able to write all day tomorrow. I don't even know if I can write that much in one day.

I was quite depressed yesterday when I realized that I wasn't going to get to my 50,000 words. When I think about what went wrong, I think there were two main problems: I didn't write too much when I had the flu and I didn't write too much over Thanksgiving weekend.

I told someone about my melancholy today and her response was, "Well, that sounds crazy anyway so I wouldn't worry about it." Yeah, except that once I set a goal, I do everything to achieve it. I can't go through life not doing the things I say I'm going to do.

The glass half-full perspective is that I have 37,941 words written and that's a lot more than I had 29 days ago. I'm very proud of myself for getting that much done. And I'm loving my story.

NaBloPoMo: Guess what? One more post tomorrow, 11/30 and I did it! I posted every single day in the month of November! I've gone from writing on this blog three times a week to posting every single day.

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, even if there were those days when I was brain dead about what to write about. That's when I found myself writing about strippers and Rock Star Energy Drink. But, I managed to get through it!

Now I'm debating whether to keep posting every single day? If you did NaBloPoMo, are you going to keep the daily posting going?

NaExerMo: In exactly one month I turn 35. And I want to be smokin' hot on my birthday. I'm not kidding. Not that I want to cause another car crash or anything like that, but I want to enter the mid to late 30's getting a jump on my slowing metabolism. So I figured it would be a great thing if I could actually work-out every day in November.

I've jogged, jumped roped, hiked, gone to the gym, done push-ups and lifted weights. But did I do something every single day? Nope. Again, I didn't exercise for almost a week when I was dying from the flu. I tried and it just didn't work to run around the trail in my pitifully feverish state.

I'm going to do my best to keep the exercise thing going now that these 30 days are over.

So, that's the update! How about you? If you were doing something for the past 30 days, how'd it go?
