March 2019 Goals

For whatever reason, I got away from establishing monthly goals over the past year. I don’t know if it’s because 2018 was such a whirlwind at times or that I struggled to focus on a 30(ish) day period, but it was hard for me to plan ahead and stick to my plan.

2019 has had a really great start personally! I am in a season of transition professionally, but I can look back on the past 2 months and see how far we’ve come. There’s exciting things ahead of me professionally, which is thrilling! Personally, I feel much more in control of life, even though we’ve had our hiccups or stressors where and there already this year. I think that’s inevitable, but I don’t feel as defeated as I did in 2018. Win, win!

If you haven’t read my goals for 2019, you’ll want to check them out! I had 6 main goal categories and starting this month I am going to create mini goals within those categories. It’s hard to believe it’s already March, and although I’ve accomplished a lot these past 2 months, I want to make sure I remain focused as I look towards spring and summer!

One of my biggest goals for 2019 is to lose weight! My biggest goal at this point is to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight of 234 by the first day of summer (June 21, 2019). I’ve made some progress, starting the OrangeTheory Transformation Challenge mid January, but I have a lot more work to do! The challenge ends March 17, so that will be my main focus this month, aside from March Madness at work!!

I’m really excited for the month ahead, finishing the OrangeTheory Challenge, and welcoming Spring! I get so motivated as the weather turns warmer and I really want to channel that excitement! There’s a lot of fun around the corner as we move past winter!
