Monthly Life Goals April 2014

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

March Goals: This month was horrible when it came to my monthly goals.

  • 30 Day Challenge: 200 squat challenge – Failed.  I started out with great intentions, but then my plan fell apart about midway through the month.  I want to get back on track with this challenge.
  • 30 Day Challenge: Stuff Reduction – Failed. I managed to get rid of a few trash bags worth of stuff, but I really wanted to do more.  I just never seemed to make time for a thorough clean out.
  • 30 Day Challenge: Photos of inspiration – Failed. Never even started this one.  Although I am still participating in the Fat Mum Slim Photo a Day.
  • Sell read books (HPB or other place) – Failed. Never made it up to Fremont.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Check links/clean out at least one board – Success!  I did a ton of clean up on my boards.  Got rid of some duplicated.  Got rid of some pins without actual links.  I need to keep this going.
  • Plan/Schedule/Finish Routine Blog Posts Through April – 80% success.  I'm almost there.  Just a few more posts and I'll be set through April.  But at this point, I need to work on posts through May.
  • Get a Haircut — Success!  I chopped off a ton of hair.  It had reached the scraggly stage and I needed a change.  Now I have a short bob with volume.
  • Complete a Day in the Life post – Failed. Never got around to it.  Going to try again in April.

April Goals:

  • 30 Day Challenge: 30 Minute Daily Walk -- I already walk twice a week at Shoreline, but I need to increase this to daily walks.  I'm aiming for daily short walks in addition to my two big walks.
  • 30 Day Challenge: Daily meditation -- I have near constant headaches and at times feel very stressed out.  I need to take a few minutes everyday for my mental health.  I think a few minutes each morning of meditation may help me out.
  • Finish three more OSW sets -- My goal is 12 sets by the end of the year.  I've already completed four.  I hope to finish three more this month.
  • Complete a Day in the Life post -- I wanted to do this in March and it completely slipped my mind.  Let's try this again.
  • Visit three new parks with Arthur -- The weather is certainly perfect to be outside.  We haven't been to many of the nearby parks and I want to remedy that.
  • Pay off Discover student loan -- So close...  I only have about $150 left sitting in there.
  • Visit the Farmer's Market twice -- We haven't been to the market except for sausages for months.  The winter months are a bit lean on participants and produce.  Now I'm looking forward to peaches and berries.
  • Pinterest Challenge: Document/plan some baby activities -- I have pinned a ton of kids' activities.  Unfortunately, that's all I've done.  I want to get some supplies to actually do some of these activities.  Now that Arthur is bigger, I need to engage his mind a bit more.
