As you can see I failed miserably in the health/fitness department. We got so off track when all of our traveling started. We've been going 90 to nothing and haven't set aside time to exercise. And the eating...ugh...that hasn't been good either! I'm declaring August as a 'healthier' month.

What are your goals for the month of August?
Good goals, sorry I had to bail out on the squat challenge with you, how about a sit up challenge instead :)
ReplyDeleteWorking out in the summer can be such a challenge! Between all the fun things to do during summer, and the heat, working out can be tricky.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look into the Duck Commander book for kids. We have a few children's Bible stories and books, but it's always nice to freshen things up a bit.
Your August goals look good - you've got this!
I think you got the important things done!! Intentional family time should always come first so really, you nailed it! I love your goal of sending snail mail! It's a seriously fun way to keep connected and so nice to receive actual mail! Good Luck for your August goals :) (and if you ever want a Kiwi pen-pal, just let me know!)
ReplyDeleteYou did good girl. Even with the fails you have to show yourself grace especially with summer here.
ReplyDeleteAs for your new goals start Christmas shopping?! Whoa I am seriously impressed!
Start Christmas shopping! I like that one.
ReplyDeleteSummer can be hard to keep up with those goals. I think you did a great job even if the exercise bit lagged somewhat. There is always a new day!
You have some of the same goals as me! Especially in the blogging category. I have been SO bad about replying to emails lately. I want to connect and reply back, but I get sucked into reading and commenting on blogs and forget about checking my email. It's so bad. I've been at least a day behind (as we speak, I have emails to reply to!). If you figure out a good system, let me know! I'm just so backed up with work, family time, blogging time, blog reading time and trying to get to my emails...
ReplyDeleteYou accomplished so much! I really need to sit down and write out my monthly goals instead of just having vague ideas in my head. If you're going to slack on exercise Summer is the perfect time. You're probably more active doing outdoor family stuff anyway.
ReplyDeleteI plan to have a post like these in 2016. It's a great way to hold yourself accountable. And because I'm a lover of fonts, what font is your July/August Goals in?
