{February} Goals + January Recap


Please tell me how I am writing down February goals right now.  
I feel like we were just toasting the new year with champagne and taking down Christmas decorations. 
Time flies when you're workin' for the weekend.

I posted January goals here.  
I think I did pretty darn well for the first month of 2013:

January Goals:
- Create budget + track spending {this one's gonna hurt}
50% done. Tracking spending has been mortifying. I need to do better. 
- Exercise 3x week {at least 12 times total} 
I have been working out 4-5 times a week and loving it. 
- Read 2 books {I've already read one; Hopeless by Colleen Hoover.  A MUST read.  She's amazing.}
Done!  Do you follow me on Goodreads?  I just love that site.   
- Volunteer once 
Yep! I found a wonderful organization that I'll be volunteering with twice per month. 
- Actually read some of the photography skillz I've been pinning + maybe take my camera off of auto. 
50% done.  I have been diligently reading tips, but I am too much of a wuss to take it off auto.  

February Goals:
- Track spending, you big chicken.
- Introduce myself to all of my neighbors.  Consider bribery/treats... 
- Do some sort of Valentine decoration in hour house.
- Read 2 books. 
- Host my BFF for 5 days, and plan an amazeballz sampling of Minneapolis. 
{I know that amazeballz is so 2012, but I could care less}
- Meet up with my MN Blogger gals... ladies?  Let's do something.  
- Do not join Vine.
- Think of better March goals. 
- Learn how to take a selfie without a Lily photobomb.



What do you want to accomplish this February? 
How are you doing so far with your 2013 goals?

  1. I will be making more goals for March then February since I will be healing in February and some of March.

    I do want to read 2 books... lots of time while I am laying in bed. Blog every day once I am home from the hospital.

    I have lots more for when I am healthier... not to far down the road.

    Good luck with your goals Jess :)

  2. Hum? I didn't have any resolutions or expectations for 2013. I just take it day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute. Is that bad?

    Probably.

    I definitely have some things I want to get done in February. I want to get my blog design completed, samples sent out, editorial calendar completed, get some inventory (even just a few things) but with sleep and kids, things just always get behind.

    One day at a time
