MONTHLY LINK-UP: JULY GOALS

July 01, 2015

Monthly Goals

This is part of the monthly link-up at mysocalledchaos.com

The word I would use to describe this summer is balance. I feel a good balance between time with friends, work, internship, running, family, adventures, and relaxing. The improvement on my life as a whole compared from last summer to this one is like night and day. However, even though things are going swimmingly, I'm also looking to improve. I'm always looking for my next adventure to conquer. That's why I keep myself accountable for the steps!

How This works:
  1. Follow your hosts My So-Called Chaos and A Peek at Karen's World to keep up with this link-up.
  2. Write up a post recapping last month's goals and setting goals for next month.
  3.  Make sure to include the button in your post by grabbing the code above.
  4. Link up your goals post with the monthly linky which goes live on the first Thursday of the month.
  5. Visit other links in the party to show support and offer advice for other goal setters.
  6. Have fun and make some new friends!


May Goals

  • Get up to 35 mile weeks of running 31....
  • Decorate the walls of my room - inspiration board - fail
  • Work with a brand - Success
  • Go into my internship twice a week - Success
  • Post on here twice a week - Success
  • Get under 24 in the 5K 26:36
Instead of smooth green sailing, May had some flashes of yellow and red. However, most things are a work in progress. 35 is so so close to 31. 2 minutes of a 5K in a hot, hot day is alright. I still got third in my age group and team roger, and supported a great cause. Months like these can teach us to spin our perceived losses in a positive light.

June Goals

  • Run a 10 mile run
  • Finish the Sarah Dessen book
  • Make your inspiration board
  • Work with more brands
  • Make a bonus sale at work
Let's hope July is as promising as June was!

January Goals

February 05, 2015

Monthly Goals

Most people think of love, valentines candy, and flowers when the think of February. As of recent, I will not have a "valentine" this year. Honestly, I feel so refreshed. I've spent the past two Valentines days with someone and as awesome and wonderful relationships are, and as my friends have told me, this is my prime time to be "single." On the practical end, it saves me a ton of money (besides for the money I'll spend on candy for myself). It also saves a lot of time getting ready and going out (besides the time spent with my GALentines). I've learned the important of friends and family as opposed to loved ones these past few months. Its such a great feeling to embrace my real support system.

February may be a short month, but there's still so much to accomplish in it! As I mentioned in my previews goals post, I said that I wanted to really hunker down and be productive on my blog and internships. I've definitely started making moves towards that, but the four snow days we had in the past two weeks have warranted more fun than work. I figure while I'm young, balance out the work and the play as best as I can, right? Below are my monthly goals!
