MonoKnitter?

This past month I have been pretending that I am a monogamous knitter.  I have cast on and completed 3 shawls.  Amazing what happens when you concentrate on one project at a time.  I have gone through my hibernating knitting project list and deleted some projects that I will not be finishing.  When I come across the project I shawl frog or trash it.  I am down to 31 knitting works in progress. 

1) Diet - no progress
2) Exercise - I actually started to walk a mile on the treadmill for at least 3 days a week, but surprise I have not walked this week.  I have been avoiding exercise again.
3) Craft Room - I frogged 2 projects that I came across that I had already deleted from Ravelry.  One was a pair of socks from STR Club 2012 using HRH and the other was a sweater that I changed my mind on.  I actually was able to use my sewing machine this past weekend.  I let my niece sew and now it is a mess again. 
4) Proper Reward System - no progress

First goal, finish it or frog it. I did not meet my goal from last time.  I did not finish the Daybreak as I went ahead and started and finished three different shawls.  I did frog 2 other projects and marked around 4 more for frogging when I come across them.  I am torn right now.  I finished a shawl and now I am wondering if I should finally cast on the Mary Lennox KAL lace shawl, or if I should actually finish a WIP.  The shawl I just finished was a gradient shawl and now I am tempted to find my gradient WIP and finish that.  I probably should do that.

Second goal, savings - no progress, in fact I have not updated my budget since before month end last month.  I am letting it get out of hand again.  At least we haven't been overspending.  I think.  How would we know?

Additional: expectations are unrealized resentments
