Happy April! Time for goals. Here’s how I did in March and what my goals are for April!
March 2019 Goals Recap
Rollover Goals
❌ Clean Holden’s room: FAIL. Still didn’t happen. It will at some point. Sigh.
✅ Transfer Holden to the crib: DONE! This was SO EASY and I am SO relieved. We put him in one night and that was that. No fussing, no crying… nothing! My easy-going baby.
Personal Goals
✅ Read five books: DONE! I stayed up late last night (10:00 – ha!) and read for 2+ hours so I could finish book number five and hit this goal.
✅ Get Caleb’s hair cut: DONE! He looks so handsome and OLD!
✅ Post my first “From My Shelves” blog post: DONE! I had so much fun doing this post and can’t wait to share more of my books with you. Did you guys like this post?
✅ Transfer DVR recordings to hard drive: DONE! Now I finally have some room on my DVR and the pressure is off. LOL.
Health Goals
✅ Work out 18 times: DONE! I beat this goal with 19.
❌ Lose three pounds: FAIL. Ugh. Not a good month, despite all my working out. More on this in my upcoming weigh-in post.
Financial Goals
✅ Save $25 in Caleb’s account: DONE! Have to get ready for preschool payments to start up again in the fall.
✅ Get my car inspection and brakes done, no credit card: DONE! Got my car inspection and a few minor repairs done, all paid for with no credit card. I thought the brakes would need to get done, but they said to check again in the fall. PHEW!
✅ No credit cards PERIOD: DONE! It feels so good to no longer be using credit like we did when I was out on leave, and instead just paying it down.
Household goals
❌ Clean the fridge: FAIL. Just didn’t happen. Our weekends have been so busy lately.
✅ Total Completed: 9 of 12. I think this is really good! I’m thrilled that we met all of our financial goals for the month because we’re getting our money back on track after my leave and dumb spending. Yay! I really had to push myself to hit my five book goal, but I’m so happy that I did it. Not happy about my weight, but happy that I’ve stuck with working out.

One messy step at a time still moves you forward.
