I can't believe we are half way through April already. It has seriously been the LONGEST.WINTER.EVER. We have had more snow than I can ever remember. Just last week we had a major blizzard, but thankfully it is almost gone. Thank you Jesus.
So I wanted to do a check in of how my goal setting is going so far. You can read my post about it here.
Here were my goals:
1. Get back into working out. Like I said in My New Years post, my treadmill quit working last spring. Since getting our new one I was working out about 3-4 days a week, either walking at an incline or running (very, very slooooowly). One of my goals for March was to walk/run a mile every single day. Well, I made that goal, and have continued it on. I get up at 5 am, get on the treadmill and do a quick 1/2 mile run or walk (when I walk I walk at a 7% incline) and then after supper I either do another 1/2 mile if time is short, or I usually end up running another mile-2 miles. I feel better physically and emotionally, and I'm starting to get the itch to run a race again.

2. Planning. I literally have become obsessed with using my planner. I used to be huge into scrapbooking, but since working outside the home, I just don't have the time for it. Now I am the crazy planner lady getting my sticker books out and planning my week. I also bought a budget planner and love that too.
3. Give up Diet Coke: Yep, still haven't had one since December 24.
4. Take and pass my aPHR test: Yep, passed that the beginning of January, SO happy!
5. Read 45 books: I am well on my way, so far I have ready 23 books! I have taken a step back from social media (I'm looking at you Facebook...) to read more and I also read a lot when I'm on the treadmill.
A few of my faves (click on the image to go to Amazon):
6. Take More Time:
I have really done well with this. I seriously hate the term #self care. I just don't know why if I'm reading or taking a bath it needs to be called "self care". Can't I just take a bath cuz I wanna?? Either way I am taking the time to do the things I love and it feels amazing.
One of my other goals is to write more. I bought a journal associated with the "Girl Stop Apologizing" book. It has an area for 3 Things I'm Thankful For, 7 Dreams I Made Happen Today and The Goal I am Going to Achieve Today. I really am enjoying filling that out everyday. I also want to blog more. I have a lot on my mind that I want to blog about.
I'm excited to use this little space more. I've been blogging since 2008 and it's SO fun to look back at how my blogging has morphed. I love this space of mine and hope you will enjoy it too.
