Hi y’all, it is finally SPRING!!! Can you believe it? The weather here is still a bit wonky, but we are getting there. So today I am doing my monthly goal check in. As I mentioned, by me sharing my goals with my readers, it holds me more accountable. I also strive to help motivate you to make some goals, write them down and smash the hell out of them.

My March goals were as follows:

• Organize the kitchen cabinets – Yes
• Organize the linen closet- No
• Run 65 miles- CRUSHED IT- ran 78 miles
• Become certified in a second nutrition program- Ultimate Portion Fix- Halfway there
• Implement a morning routine- Yes
• Read one personal development book and one book for pleasure- Yes
• Grow my blog audience- Yes

So as you can see, this month was a mixed bag. Since I have quite a few races coming up, the miles had to take priority and they did. My kitchen cabinets were driving me nuts, so that had to happen. The linen closet, not so much. Perhaps this will happen on the next rainy day. I was putting most of my free time into this blog, so the certification in my new nutrition plan fell by the wayside. That is okay. I plan on diving head first into it, once I am back from Disney. I did implement a morning routine, but it is not the one I set out to do. Starting next week, my commute is shorter, so I will have more time to get things done without having to get up at 4:00am! As far as reading, I finished the book Girl, Stop Apologizing by Rachel Hollis. If you are looking for great goal setting book, I highly recommend. Rachel is funny and has some great advice, tips and tough love when you need it. For pleasure, I read Blindsighted by Karin Slaughter. If you like mystery, murder books, this one was good. I highly recommend all her books.

As far as my blog, I did a ton of work behind the scenes on this. I am in the middle of a travel blog course and a content creation course. I want to make sure I providing you with quality content. I did grow my blog and I want to thank all you that have shared it. Please, please continue to do so. I really appreciate it.

Now, on to a new month, with new goals. April is going to look very similar to March. I am adding a couple of things and really buckling down on my own health and fitness. I need to get back to strength training and better portion control. With that being said my April goals are:

• Finish my travel blog and content creation course. *
• Grow my blog by 20%.*
• Become certified in my new nutrition plan Ultimate Portion Fix and be a product of the product.*
• Date Night with the hubby, at least once this month.*
• Try a New Spring Adventure with the kids.*
• Organize my new office space that we are moving to.*
• Run 75 miles.*
• Strength train 4 times a week.*
• Lose 5lbs.
• Read 1 personal development book and 1 fiction book.
• Get at least 5 scrapbook layouts completed.

The list is a bit long. However, I have divided it into two. The goals with the asterixis are a MUST. The others are things to shoot for, but not going to stress over it. Notice how the weight loss does not have an asterix? I go by more how I look and how my clothes feel, than the number on the scale. That is simply a tool and does not define my journey.

I would love to hear how you did last month or what you have on your list for April. Drop me a comment below if you set goals last month and any struggles you face in accomplishing same.

Have a great Monday!
