July/August Goals

So, July came and went quickly! We had a lot going on and the end of the month was extremely emotional for us with the loss of Marlie. I only completed one (and a half) of my goals for the month of July.

1. Drop 5 more pounds! Ideally, I'd like to drop another 10, but I'm trying to be realistic here. Which ties into: Definitely did not do this one. Luckily I haven't gained weight this month - I've remained flat so I guess that's good...

2. Work out five days a week - with the Walk/Jog program and Jillian Michaels DVD. I'm really enjoying both of these and seeing the progress in my fitness level and the scale so I'm going to keep it going! Didn't happen. Time to get back on the horse!

3. I'd like to get to another baseball game as I know how much my hubby enjoys them. So I'm putting another Red Sox game on the To-Do list for July. The best laid plans....we didn't make it to a game this month either.

4. Have some friends over (other than my parents) for dinner/grilling one night. This totally happened! We had April and Austin over for dinner one Sunday when Bob and Debbie were in town. Score! It was a great day with delicious food and it was so nice to see our friends!!

5. CRAFT! - I've got a few crafting projects on the books for upcoming events so I want to get started on those! My original craft projects that I wanted to get done this month didn't get done, but I did create invitations for Charlotte's birthday party and the banner to show her monthly pictures. So I'm counting that as a half!

As far as August goes, we've got A LOT of traveling this month so I don't want to get too ambitious. However, I would like to:

1. Get back into working out and tracking food. But I am lowering my expectations a little bit and going to aim for at least 3 Days a week!

2. Read more! I am going to try and get a book done this month - not sure which yet, but I will try to read some each night.

3. Organize and sort Charlotte's clothes. She's got a bunch of clothes she's outgrown that need to be put away and clothes in the next size that need to be moved into her dresser. I might rearrange her room too....

4. Make a decision on Liberty and register for classes or defer for a year.

5. Go on a family walk at least once a week.

Happy August, everyone!!
