We are already setting goals for June? This year is flying by. I need to get more done so I can say "oh! 2014 was the year I did that!" or something like that.
It doesn't look like I've blogged since February about my goals! Here is a quick recap, because really my goals have been very similar each month:
1. Take clothes to Goodwill and Clothes Mentor- not yet. My sister is coming to visit and she loves my old clothes. They are in storage.
2. Go to the gym at least 12 times- DONE. 3x consistently!
3. Log in to MyFitnessPal every day (I am already at 26 days straight!)- 144 days straight!!!
4. Keep under our budget for Food & Entertainment- not sure. I know we are going out much less. So, sure!
5. Put $50 a week in our savings account- DONE
6. Read 2 books- was doing good, but now I'm on this one book that seems to be soooooo long.
7. Go to church at least once- I've been a regular!
8. Blog once (either at Awkward & Awesome or a new blog) -nope.
How about for the summer?
1.Health- I am still on my quest to lose 30 lbs by my 30th birthday. Since January I have lost 16 lbs, lots of inches, and 3.5% body fat. AND I've had to actually get rid of certain clothes that don't fit right. I think I am on the cusp of going down another pant size. Goal- Size 8. I've always been a 9/10, but then the last few years I went up to a 12, and then the last year I snuck up to 14!!!! I'm now very comfortably in a 12. To keep this up:
- Go to the gym 3x/week. If possible: 2 classes, 1 day of treadmill.
- Log in to MyFitnessPal everyday- on a 144 streak so far!
2. Career- Write a list of major accomplishments I would like to get done at my job. I am a big "to-do" list person and need that accountability to help me stay focused on what I am doing and what is directly in front of me.
3.Creative- Participate in the once a week "future" writing prompt on a blog. I needed some kind of writing that would help me also stay focused on all the great things in my life and help me look forward to everything that is coming up!

May recap/June goals: Jen
I didn't post any goals on here for May. Whoops. Really there's just been one main goal this month: a mile a day in May. I didn't decide to commit until May 3rd, but since then, I've only missed one day. The goal is simple: get the equivalent of a mile's worth of exercise in a day. I've done some running but quite a bit of walking, too. I have five more days left to finish out the month and plan to finish strong.
There are two themes for June: health and creativity.
Mind/Body Health goals:
1. Sneak in more veggies (and hopefully consume less meat). There isn't a better time of the year to do this, really.
2. Get my om on. I've been saying this for months now: I need to get my butt back to yoga. It's really going to happen in June. (goal: 2 or more classes)
3. Explore meditation. (Headspace app)
4. Continue the running/walking habit. Can I keep it up from Memorial Day to Labor Day? Can't hurt to try.
Creativity goals:
1. Participate in weekly blog posts. At our COA meeting today Liz and Julie and I committed to writing about one prompt a week through the summer. I'm excited to do this! I've been neglecting the blog lately.
2. Summer bucket list. Josh and I started putting together a list of fun things to do over the summer - a bucket list of sorts. Since Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer, it's time to start doing the things we have talked about. I'm aiming for one item a week.
June 2014: Julie's goals
My goals this month are focused mostly on health and well-being.
1. Food: Eat mostly plants. Try three new vegan recipes. Track my foods on calorie counter.
2. Sleep: Sleep at least 8 hours every day.
3. Exercise: Walk 30 miles this month. Do back/core exercises daily.
4. Calm: Meditate daily. Take periodic breaks throughout the day to focus on quality breathing, visualization and affirmation.
My other goals are:
5. Write: Participate in summer journal challenge with Liz and Jennifer.
6. Organize: Straighten bathroom closet, bedside table and bookshelf basket.
7. Fun: Create a summer to-do list with Tim.
