Here's how I did on my goals in January!
Monthly
- Plan / sign up to lead small group - Signed up to lead a small group at my church and am expecting 11 women at my house Sunday night for our first meeting!
- Bedroom: Headboard, curtains, bedding - We assembled our new headboard and put our new bedding on our bed.
- February planning meeting - My husband and I had our February planning meeting, where we talked over our schedules, childcare needs, and budget for February. It went really well and I feel a lot less overwhelmed about our busy month ahead.
- Scan recipes: Kelly, Heather - My husband's sisters brought me their family recipes and I wanted to get them scanned and returned this month. I barely started but will be pushing this goal to February.
- JT concert in Memphis - My husband and my good friend Megan and I went to Memphis to see Justin Timberlake in concert! We had a BLAST and the concert was better than I even imagined!
- Plan trips: Asheville, Europe - I made some progress on our trip to Asheville - the Airbnb is booked and I've started researching things to do. I've got to get restaurants and activities booked soon. As far as Europe goes, I made a TON of progress here, booking all of our lodging and planning the majority of our itinerary.
- Local experience - I want to have a local experience each month, but I don't think we did anything in January that will count. I plan to make up for it the rest of the year!
- Meal with a friend - Had lunch with my friend Denise at the beginning of the month.
- Take MS Project class at UAH - I took day one of the class, and day two ended up getting rescheduled due to "snow" (no snow ever came). I'll be finishing this class in February!
- Set up new laptop: Initial setup, move old files, organize, backup - I did the initial setup on my laptop and moved my old files, but I have a ton of organizing to do and need to transfer my backup to my new laptop.
Weekly
- Plan meals + Walmart order - Planned our meals (Hello Fresh plus an additional meal and lunches/snacks) and placed our Walmart grocery pickup order each week this month!
- Read 5 books - I read eight books in January. Four were books I already owned and four were from the library.
- Blog x 4 - I blogged six times in January!
Daily
- Devotional - I used the First 5 app to do a daily devotional that didn't end up working well for me. I didn't stick with it every day, but I think the style of the devotional just really didn't fit with what I was wanting. In February I'm going to try a different type of devotional.
- OT 2x/week - Well, thanks to sickness (mine, Finley's, and my friend whom I work out with) I only made it to Orangetheory four times in January.
- Stand goal - Met my stand goal on my watch (1 min/hour, 12 hours/day) 15 days this month.
- Move goal - Met my move goal on my watch (burn 300+ calories/day) 17 days this month.
- Weight Watchers - I tracked my eating with my WW app 17 days this month.
- Up at 6:00 AM - My goal was to wake up CONSISTENTLY at 6 AM without setting multiple alarms. It went well for the first couple of weeks and then I used my sickness as an excuse and started snoozing my alarm again. I also need to find a way to track this consistently.
