10 Goals for June

Well, May was a historically bad month for goals for me. I completed 1 out of the 10 goals I set! Hoo boy. It was an odd month, as I was out of my normal routine for a full week while I was dog-sitting Chip and that just seemed to really derail me. It happens! It taught me that I need to account for the times when I’m going to be out of my normal routine when making my monthly goals. Anyway, let’s review:

1) Log 10 Peloton workouts. Not complete. I logged 6 this month. I didn’t work out for two weeks in the middle of the month, which contributed to not being able to get in my 10 workouts.

2) Walk 4,000 steps every day (5,000 on workout days). Not complete. I managed this 10 out of 31 days. For the two weeks I didn’t work out, I also didn’t wear my Fitbit. But I got back on the Fitbit horse at the end of the month at least!

3) Clean my oven. Not complete. I just kept putting this off until surprise! It was June. Oops.

4) Go on a date. Not complete. It’s hard to go on a date when I only opened Bumble three times this month. Oops. I am just not very motivated to date, lol.

5) Never leave home without a bottle of water. Not complete. OMG, I am so bad at remembering to bring water with me when I leave home! Like, every single time I left home, I would remember that I had forgotten my water bottle when I was halfway to my destination. Maybe I need to put a sticky note on my door? Ha. It’s just not a habit for me to do this and it needs to be. !

6) Go to bed at 9 pm. I didn’t follow my new nighttime routine as well as I wanted to (it was much more difficult when I was dog-sitting Chip and during the last week of May when I was working late almost every day), but when I was able to follow it, I was really happy to be in bed by 9 p.m.

7) Get all caught up on The Count of Monte Cristo. Complete! I didn’t get all caught up until the last day of the month, but considering that, at one point, I was 10 issues behind, I’m proud of myself for getting there.

8) Stretch my back every morning. Not complete. I was doing well but then got sidetracked when I had to dog-sit Chip and never got back on track.

9) Finish one unit of Google Analytics. Not complete. Oops. Work was just ridiculously busy this month and I didn’t have time to even open up the course.

10) Complete a one-week spending freeze. Not complete. I actually forgot I made this goal until I was inputting this list into this post. Whoops.

June Goals

1) Log 10 Peloton workouts. Hoping I can make this happen in June!

2) Walk 4,000 steps every day (5,000 on workout days). I think this is my sweet spot for steps so this will a recurring monthly goal.

3) Drink water every day. I’m going to try to make this super, super easy for me. I just want to drink water every day. It can be a full bottle of water or it can be a small glass I have right before bed.

4) Go on a date. Rollover goal.

5) Eat at least 75% of my meals at home. I haven’t met my food budget goal for the last two months and that’s mostly due to the amount of takeout I eat. Hopefully, by challenging myself to eat takeout only 25% of the time (which will be vaaaastly lower than what I’m doing now, eeks), that can help me rein in my spending.

6) Clean my oven. Rollover goal.

7) Go to bed at 9 p.m. This may become another recurring monthly goal for me because I want to strive to have a better evening routine and not fall back into a pattern of being up past 11.

8) Stretch my back every morning. Rollover goal.

9) Complete one unit of Google Analytics. Rollover goal.

10) Take my car in for a checkup. It’s finally time! My car has finally hit the mileage needed for an oil change, so I’m going to schedule an inspection sometime this month.
