July 2011 Goals

Happy July! Where did the year go? It’s almost halfway over!

With a new month comes new goals. I have been SERIOUSLY SLACKING in the goal department. I’m sure you have noticed that I have been slacking in the blog department, too… Hmmm. Maybe I’m slacking in a lot of departments.  I haven’t been slacking in the puppy lovin’ department. My little monster gets almost all of my attention when I am not in the office.

Warning:  This is a complete brainstorming post.  It may not flow. It may have MANY grammatical errors. Consider yourself forewarned.

Let’s break things down into sections to make things easier…

June 2011 Goals

Blog:

1. Blog at least THREE times a week.
2. Incorporate at least ONE new recipe each week.  My food has been lazy and unexciting lately. I need to bring more pleasure to my plate and palate!

Is there anything you would like to see on the blog? Please let me know. I am always short for content.

Health/Fitness:

1. Drop 10 pounds.  I would REALLY like to drop ten pounds before vacation.  Yes, ten may seem like a lot, but I am holding on to a lot of bloat and swelling.  I am including that in the weight to drop.  I would be content with anywhere around a seven pound drop. Ten would make me ecstatic!  I’m also not cleared to get my heart rate raised for a couple weeks, so this is an extra challenging challenge.
2. Eat 2+ servings of vegetables daily.  I know that doesn’t sound like much, but veggies have not sounded appealing lately. I will force feed them to myself.

Financial: 

1. Save $300 extra cash for vacation.  I have $100 set aside, so I have to save an additional $200 of pocket money for vacation. It is an all-inclusive trip, but I would just feel better having that much cash on my person. It would be great if we didn’t dip into checking while there, too.
2. Cash only.  It is so much easier to be fiscally responsible when we have a set amount of cash to spend.

Create:

1. Stone purple suit.  I have been putting this off for freaking forever.
2. Sew two pieces.  I really want to learn to sew. I need to just do it.

So, there you have it. I haven’t been setting goals, and these seem attainable enough.

 

What are your goals for the month?
