Creating monthly goals is just about one of my favorite things! I love the possibilities a new month brings and I always appreciate a new start. January was a great start to 2015 and I’m excited to build upon it.
February is a really busy month for me each year, but I know it can be great if I manage my time, get great sleep, and make the most of the weekends. Sounds a lot like most months, but those goals are especially important in February.
In January I…
Created goals for the new year
Shared our favorite baby gear for 0-3 months
Published a free printable – Out of the House Checklist
Gave y’all a tour of Magnolia’s nursery
Reflected on being 4 months postpartum
Talked about the business side of blogging
Shared my tactic for getting everything off my mind and onto paper
January Goals Revisited…
Organize Magnolia’s clothes, books, and toys – I was able to organize Magnolia’s clothes, but I haven’t figured out her books and toys yet.
Create a weekly chore chart – Yes!
Keep up with said chore chart – I just created the chart so hopefully it helps us moving into February
Have Neal put away the patio furniture – Thanks babe!
Begin my weight lifting routine – Yes! I started lifting weights at the beginning of the month and just began a new program last week
Workout at least 4 times a week (cardio and/or weight lifting) – Yes! I really enjoyed my workouts in January
Track every single thing I eat, before I eat it – Preparing all of my meals on Sunday has helped a lot!
Switch WW meetings – Yes! I switched to Saturdays, which didn’t work out, so now I’m attending WW at Work meetings
Meal prep on Sundays – Yes! And I’m really enjoying it!
Pack my bags for work the night before – Yes!
Have Magnolia’s daycare bags packed the night before – Yes!
Go to bed by 10PM each night – Yes!
Recharge on weekends – Ehh… I still haven’t figured this one out. I feel like I have so much to accomplish on weekends and it makes relaxing and recharging difficult.
