As always, I’m
using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I
accomplished my goals.
December Goals
Personal
Y Positivity, worry
less, complain less, be kind, patience, relationships. – I feel like this went pretty smoothly in December and I focused much
more on relaxing, taking things slow, being present, and spending time with
loved ones despite the fact that December was bittersweet with the death of my
grandmother.
Y Start reading a
Christmas book. – I got through half of
Christmas Shopaholic and it’s so cute.
I’m still reading it!
Y Join Adrienne’s
Book Club. – I attended their Christmas
party to get to know everyone and hope to start attending as much as I can.
Y Dinner with
girlfriends. – We did our favorite things
party and it was so much fun.
Y Dinner with old co-workers.
– We got together for our annual
Christmas dinner and it was so special spending time with everyone.
Health
N Drink 64 oz. water
per day. – I ended up with some kind of
stomach virus for eight days and during that time I barely ate or drank
anything the whole time.
Y Continue quiet
time/meditating. – I did make time for
this, and although I missed a few days during the month, I made it a priority
most of the month.
Y Hit the gym as much
as I can. – I hit the gym approximately
one time in December, but that was “as much as I could” so I’m giving myself
grace and a yes for this one.
Y Eat healthy when I
can and indulge, too. – December was a
good balance.
Y Follow up with GI
doc. – Sure did and he released me since
reflux isn’t the culprit.
Family
Y Help out with
raffle ticket data entry at kids’ school.
Y Attend Observation
Day at Olivia’s dance school.
Y Have a Brian and
Lindsay Day o Fun... or two! – We got in

checked off every single thing!

friends who are back from Korea
Y Celebrate New
Year’s Eve.
Home

clean whole house before NYE.

section “Personal/Connect” so I can list my goals to connect with others there

ReplyDeleteYou rocked those goals even with a stomach virus for 8 days! xo, Biana -BlovedBoston
ReplyDeleteYou've got this! I love that you put stop scrolling phone while out in public. I have tried to stop doing this because so many connections and interactions are missed when I do this. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteWonderful goals for the month. I want to know how to worry and complain less. Do you just stop yourself when the bad thoughts come to your mind?
ReplyDeleteYou got a lot done! I full admit I have taken down 2/3 of our Christmas stuff and the rest stays up...need to get on that this weekend!
ReplyDelete3 out of 24 (that didn't happen) isn't bad at all!! I still struggle with the water thing too. That sucks that you had a stomach bug for 8 days last month. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteGood luck on this month's goals!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, girl! So far I'm just rolling right along!
DeleteWow, you rocked December!! I plan on seeing a movie with my Mama this month too!
ReplyDeleteYou did great in December!! Well done friend. :) I cleaned out my fridge the other day, and it was great... although it always just gets so messy so quickly.
ReplyDeleteThank you! And yes, I guess since we use the fridge so much it really can get messy very quickly!
