It’s a Saturday night and I’m at home in my PJs. I’m a wild child I know! I was thinking about going out with some friends since my parents took Munchkin to PA with them for the night, but I think I’ll prefer a quiet night at home because, god knows, I don’t get many of these!
After Munchkin left, I decided to go for a run since it had been a few days since my last. I did 3.4 miles in a bit over 45 minutes and I ran for most of it, which is an accomplishment for moi!
While I was running, I got to thinking that I don’t set many goals for myself and that it might be kind of fun to set some for the month and see how I stack up at the end of the month. Without further ado, here are my June goals!
- Run at least 3 times a week. Even though my 10k is not until October, I know that time will fly and it will be here before I know it.
- Cook at least 3 times a week. I have been slacking off in the kitchen majorly.
- Strength train at least twice a week. Now that I’ve been running outdoors more, I’ve been slacking off on my visits to my basement gym.
- Eat out no more than twice a week. Since I haven’t been cooking lately, we’ve been eating out more often. I can make yummy eats at home, and for a fraction of the cost of eating out!
- Read more and finish at least one book. I haven’t had time to read because of school and I’ve got a few book that I bought a loong time ago waiting to be read.
- Go on a bike adventure. We had a blast riding bikes over Memorial Day and I want to try out some new trails.
- Drink at least 72 oz of water a day. I’ve fallen off my on my water drinking. Before I started work I used to drink a ton, but now I find myself reaching for water more often.
I think these goals are totally reachable, so let’s see how I do! Wish me luck.
Do you set goals for yourself each month?
Congrats on your recent run! I don't set monthly goals (although I feel like maybe I should), but I do have goals that I set at the beginning of the year. Running is my "thing", but I'm getting into biking too.
I\’m getting in biking also. My boyfriend just bought a bike rack for his car so we\’ve been looking from trails near us to ride.
I love the idea of setting monthly goals. Normally I just do year-long ones each January, but it really does make so much sense to break it down even further. I'm gonna have to follow your lead!
Monthly goals feel so much more attainable, and you kind of have to force yourself to get to it because you only have a month to meet it! Do it!
