January Recap & February Goals

Hello February! It’s good to see you again. Snow has had its chance and now I’m ready for Spring. This month is promised to be a good one with plays to attend, trips planned and a wedding the last weekend (yay!). Here are some of the things I’d like to get done this month.

February Goals:

• Read at least one book
• Travel to Nashville with my sister and mother in law
• Do something fun on Leap Day, after all it only comes once every four years!
• File our taxes and figure out what to do with our refund
• Consistently read my Bible five days a week
• Cook and blog three new recipes
• Finish reading Simple Blogging and put at least three things into practice this month
• Participate in the Fab Ab February:

Curious to see how I did on my January goals? Not so great. On the other hand, we stayed well under our budget this month, which is always rare and welcome. :)

January Goals, recapped:

• Workout three times a week. :: Fail. I did workout some… but maybe two times a week average.
• Finish reading Life of Pi and start another book.
• Don’t spend any money on clothes, accessories or decorations. :: I did buy some clothes, but I only spent like $30 on three things and saved like $90, so I don’t feel too guilty. Perks of post-Christmas shopping!
  
• Be intentional about morning and evening routines. More on this later :)
  
• Blog four times a week. :: Yeah we all know this didn’t happen.
  
• Only purchase fresh foods at the grocery store and use all of our freezer and pantry items. :: What a vague goal I set for myself… of course there’s still freezer and pantry items that I didn’t eat, but we did try to use what we had this month.
  
• Take at least 30 minutes for lunch and don’t eat at my desk. :: Major fail. I think I did this January 2 and that’s only because it was a holiday for everyone else. Perhaps this will be easier when work calm down?
