Mid-month check-in

I have been pretty busy and have a lot of things going on in my life right now, so the blog has taken a back seat. I hope to get back on it more because writing makes me feel better, but I also don’t know how much I want to share the Internet….

But I did want to check in on my monthly goals so I can figure out what I need to do over the next 13 days! I have some successes and some failures, but at least I have made some progress!

For the love of Travel

– Plan the NYC trip postponed until fall

For the love of Fitness

– Run at least 10 miles a week; My running weeks begin on Mondays, so week 1 was 13.1 miles (two races); the following weeks were less successful: Week 2 was 7.75 and Week 3 was 5.5 week 2….sigh

– Set at least one PR this month (I have at least 3 races) Four races and 3 PRs so far

– Non-running cardio at least 10 times. Three times so far

– Strength work at least 10 times (Hello Jillian Michaels) FAIL!

– Yoga at least 7 times (time to use those living social deals!) Going to TRY to go tomorrow night

For the love of Health

– Stick to WW (AGAIN); Jess and joined and we are going to tackle this together. I joined, but I would not say i am sticking to it…SIGH again

For the love of Beauty

– Pamper myself somehow (massage, mani/pedi…something!) Hopefully soon!

For the love of Food

-eat at least one new DC area restaurant (Vinoteca reservations have already been made) Vinoteca was cancelled, so I need to find something else. Josh’s mom is here this weekend, so maybe we will go somewhere

– go to the farmer’s market. FAIL!

For the love of Fun

– READ MORE!!!!!!! WIN!!!! I am on my fourth book this month!

– Have a girls’ night/brunch/etc… every other month. Well I did see Jess at the United game last weekend…

For the love of Money

– NO SPEND DAYS!!!!!! I got sick, so I had two of those.

For the love of Giving Back

-Contact BOMF to see what else I can do since my schedule does not allow for the morning runs. Why have I not done this?????

For the love of Learning

– Get to work on the new wine blog (details to follow) FAIL!!!

– Pick a language and get started!!!! Spanish, now to start!

April Goals…it’s going to be a busy month!

It is a new month and time to set some new goals.
