Monthly Life Goals February

Before I get to this month's goals, let's check in on January's goals and my progress.

January goals:

  • 30 Day Challenge: Creative writing prompts -- Failed.  I just never seemed to make time for this.
  • Pixar movie marathon -- Failed.  Just never got around to it.
  • Create a cleaning schedule (daily, weekly, monthly) -- Done!  I looked at Pinterest for ideas, collected my own ideas, and created my own schedule.
  • Clean out our health and beauty projects -- Done!  I got rid of a ton of travel sized and expired products.  Plus, any leftover travel sized containers went onto the counter to use soon.
  • Take inventory of our food cupboards -- Done!  I got rid of a few thing and organized the rest.  Now I can easier grab our most used items.
  • Lose a pants size -- Failed.  I'm down about 1/2 a pants size.  Hopefully my recent return to consistent exercise will make this a reality soon.
  • Take a substantial walk (1-2 miles) at least once a week – 50% success on this.  While still in Indiana, I didn't walk at all (it was below zero!).  Once I got back to California, I restarted our weekly walk at Shoreline with the mom's group.  That event gets me at least 2 miles every week (sometimes more).  Now I need to commit myself to walked at least another day during the week.

February goals:

  • 30 Day Challenge: Cleaning of the entire house -- I plan on implementing my cleaning schedule that I created in January along with a general deep clean of the apartment.  Room by room, area by area, I want this place to be a good starting point for the rest of the year.
  • 30 Day Challenge: IMDB 250 movies -- I do a twice yearly movie month anyway.  I though I would make this February's movie month focus on the watching a chunk of those 250 movies I committed us to watching almost two years ago.
  • 30 Day Challenge: An apple a day -- Kind of silly, but I like the challenge.  Plus, I love apples.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Make 5 things from my Pinterest boards -- My boards are being cluttered with all kinds of ideas, but I don't usually do anything besides look at them.  I resolve to make at least 5 things (recipes, crafts, etc) from my boards.
  • Update Netflix queque -- I need to finish transferring my movies over to my profile so J quits bugging me.  There's no real easy way to do it.
  • Update TBR spreadsheets -- Another not fun chore, but these spreadsheets are in sore need of some cleaning out and organizing.
  • Make Valentines for the mom's group and stamp club ladies -- Arthur and I signed up for a Valentine's day party with one of the mom's groups.  My goal is to make my own little Valentine's for all the babies.  I have some great card making ideas.  Plus, Michael's has all of their Valentine's supplies on sale.
