I didn’t post a March update this month yet, but better late than never!
March Goals
1) Work out 3-4 days a week: I started working at a gym, and one of the perks is a free membership. I will start working out this week. I’m really looking forward to it, the gym is beautiful, and offers some really wonderful classes like yoga and pilates (mat) included in the membership.
I did not start officially working out until this month. I had to get my paperwork signed off on at the gym, and I continued not feeling well for most of the month. (no worries, I did go see the doctor, I am going back in for one repeat test this month, but otherwise everything is “normal”)
I have been taking the dog for a walk several times a week, so while I averaged 3 times a week it’s not exactly what I need to get fit.
This goal will roll over into April.
2) Limit Starbucks: This was a bad habit this past month. We spent a LOT in February at the ‘Bux. I am considering preloading a card and sticking to that amount for the month. For me it’s a big stress reliever, and I really enjoy my coffee. It’s really my only vice.
We were successful in cutting back, but I’d like to cut it out altogether for the next 2 months. It will only be a small drop in the bucket, but it will help pay for our trip to SF.
3) Write a To-Do list each morning:
I generally do this, but I need to set aside “office” time each morning for 10 minutes and check in on my calendar and my to-dos.
Done! And I’ll continue but not add this to April’s list. It’s become a habit now.
4) Continue healthy dinners, and playtime with kids.
Check on playtime, not so much with dinner. We are really going to work on cleaning up our diet now that Spring is here.
April Goals
1) Workout 3-4 times a week at gym, not to include walking the dog.
2) Limit discretionary spending in anticipation of June trip. To include Starbucks, “extras” at grocery store, etc.
3) Make a Meal Plan every week and stick to it.
4) Spend one evening or afternoon each week creating a backlog of posts. Then I can enjoy the beautiful weather or have a great day out with the kids, but you can still read something wonderful. 
5) Complete planning for June trip, summer vacation, and school for kids next year.
6) Make an updated will. This one should really be number 1. Before we fly to SF I want to make sure we have an updated will and testament for both my husband and myself.
To make these goals more PRESENT in my day, I’m going to print them out and post them on the wall in my bedroom. Cliche? Yes, but if it works, it works! What are your goals this month? How do you remind yourself of what needs to get done?
