2. Stop Procrastinating 

I've actually been very good about this! It's been virtually impossible for me to anyway with my school schedule this year. But it's a great feeling when you finished something before the night before it's due!

June's Goals

July's Goals

August's Goals

I'm back for another update on my monthly goals!

September Goals:

1. Keep up with Algebra

I am terrible at math. There's no other way around it. I'm working hard, doing all my homework and quizzes. I got a 66 on my first test, so that kinda stinks. I will definitely be going in for tutoring. 

2. Work on my Migraine Experiment

I can report that it's inconclusive. I don't think they correlate, at least not for me. I exercised and still got headaches. So who knows.

3. Use my planner!!!

I can't live without my planner! With 5 classes but work to keep up with, I have a lot to remember. I love being able to know exactly what I need to complete and when. Like I said, can't survive without it. 

4. Catch up with my Online Shop 

I added lots of new items (lots of jewelry), so that's exciting! I can't wait for fall yard sales to get some great deals!

5. Read More, Watch less TV

Check! I've read two books this month: Lunch in Paris and Sarah's Key.

Lunch in Paris was ok, and I liked Sarah's Key (although I thought it was dumb how they compared a woman's pregnancy drama to the Holocaust. I would've loved it if that aspect of the story was gone and it just focused on the war.) I haven't seen the movie yet, and I'm not sure if I want to :)

this pic sums it up well

October Goals:

1. Yard Sales!!!

There's nothing better than a good yard sale! Fall is the perfect time of year for them. There's something about waking up early in the crisp fall air with a cup of coffee, whilst driving around town searching for deals that just makes me so happy. 

2. Stop Procrastinating 

I don't know if I can actually do this, but we will see. 

3. Switch my closet from summer to fall!

bring on the sweaters, boots and coats!

June Update and July Goals

 January's Goals

February's Goals

March's Goals

April's Goals

May's Goals

I'm back for another update on my monthly goals!

June's Goals:

1. Just say yes....

Yes, Yes, Yes

 

2. Do something active for at least an hour once everyday.

So, we rode our bikes up to 7/11, walked laps around the baseball field, swam in the ocean, ran around Busch Gardens trying to beat out the lines, rode our bikes around the neighborhood, swam in a pool...etc. I love summer!

3. Less junk food and more veggies.  

Now, I can't say that I've consumed more veggies than junk food, but I've definitely eaten more veggies than I usually do! I really do love fresh fruit and veggies, so I plan on continuing to make better choices and substituting the junk food for 'cleaner' options. 

4. Register for Fall Classes

I swear this is the most stressful thing ever. Trying to balance my work schedule and finding the classes I need to take, plus finding the right campus...I'm stressed just remembering it! But I did it anyways, and I am officially registered for my last semester at my local community college! By December, I will have my Associates of Arts in my hand!!!! Yes!!!

5. Start a new book

I finally finished The Paris Wife, and really really liked it! I definitely recommend it! Now, I've started "Love Walked In" So far I'm not impressed, but we'll see. 

2013 Bucket List:

-Cut out processed foods

-buy local produce/go to local farmer's market more- A reason why I love Florida! Great produce stands!

-volunteer somewhere

-have my first giveaway on my blog-COMING SOON! Very soon! I promise!!!

-figure out my college plan-I'm pretty sure I've decided which school I am transfering to! yay! I keep switching back and forth, but I've narrowed it down to two!-Here's to my last semester before I get my AA!

-save my money up for something big-YAY! I am so excited, but saving is hard!! Ok, Kate Spade sales haven't helped, but I am buckling down this month!

-bake a blackberry cobbler from scratch-Hopefully I will be able to do this when I visit my Nana this month!

-eat better and be active-My aunt and I are starting to walk, and eat healthier. Heres to hopefully getting a bikini bod! HA! who am I kidding. Like I said, getting better slowly but surely. 

-make new friends-sorta kinda maybe?

-work on my scrapbook- it took me a while to figure out where I put it, but I found it and even finished it! I am now working on my next one!  Started some new pages!!!

(I'm usually pretty good at this, but sometimes I make it a chore instead of a priority.)  

  

2. Continue doing something active for at least an hour once everyday.

3. Stress less

4. Read more (and pick better books!)

There you have it! I'll check back in at the end of the month!

April Update and May Goals

 January's Goals

February's Goals

March's Goals

Now that I'm back to regular scheduled programming, and the fact that its already May(!!!) it's time for an update!

Here were my goals for the month:

Aprils Goals:

1. Finish organizing my closet.-

done! Expect a blog post soon!

2. Finally switch my closet over from winter to spring/summer. Also purge clothes I no longer wear.- 

Ahh, this felt so good to complete. Not only did I switch my closet over, but I purged so many clothes to sell in my shop. Oh, I didn't tell you about that? Expect that soon, too. 

3. Listen to Joel Osteen's Podcasts at least once a week.- 

Despite his many critics, I adore Joel Osteen. To this day he is the only pastor whose sermon I can follow all the way through. That, and because I always feel like he's preaching to me directly. It's like he always knows what I am thinking! Plus, his podcast's are free on itunes! I really enjoyed this this month, and I will continue with it!

4. Finish my current Book and start a new one

If you can believe it, I am still reading The Paris Wife. I know. but with finals and essays and just life in general, I haven't been devoting much time to reading. About 3/4s done, though!

5. Work on my Summer Plans

(This is my main source of stress. How can I fit it all in?)

Well, I've got a sort of/ but not really tentative plan. It's a good one!

I'm just firming up dates :)

2013 Bucket List:

-Cut out processed foods-this has been hard, but worth it! I have been trying to only by foods with ingredients with 5 or less and ones I can pronounce :)

-volunteer somewhere

-have my first giveaway on my blog-COMING SOON! Very soon! I promise!!!

-figure out my college plan-I'm pretty sure I've decided which school I am transfering to! yay! I keep switching back and forth, but I've narrowed it down to two!

-bake a blackberry cobbler from scratch

-eat better and be active-working on this! I've been eating my "green" smoothies, and obviously walking everyday has helped! (well, Easter hasn't been great on my diet....ok, chocolate hasn't been great for my diet. but I have been running with my dog a couple times a week!)

-make new friends-yay! I've met a couple new people this semester in school that I really like!
