Middle of the Month Goal Check

May 17, 2016 By Shann 61 Comments

Middle

It’s officially the middle of the month…or even a little past. When are these months going to slow down? I feel like we just started the school year, yet it’s about to end. Here’s an update on my May Goals.

middle

1.Get at least one or two things crossed off my 30 before 40 list ย 

Let me just say that I am rocking this one. I completed 4 more items off my list: #6, #10, #20, and #26. Just click on the link above to read the list. I’ll wait.

OK. So, even though I’ve done good so far, I still have 16 items left to complete, and only 3 and a half months left. I need to kick it into high gear.

2.Get our summer plans organizedย 

Still working on this. I have Mr. B signed up for some fun summer school classes (space camp, sport camp, and science,) and we have one road trip planned. I still need to work on the logistics for the road trip, and I also want to start planning my birthday trip for August. I was waiting until the March for Babies was over, so I need to start work on this.

3.Get some spring cleaning done

As you may remember from this POST, I got a head start on the spring cleaning in the twins’ room. I still need to finish my closet, and Mr. B’s closet. I did clean out the freezer and fridge when I prepped for the Whole30, so that was a win.

4.Get some writing doneย 

This has not been happening. I’ve been so preoccupied with everything else that you see above, I have not been writing any posts ahead of time. I’m hoping that once I adjust to my new eating, my brain won’t be so foggy and my energy levels will go back up. More on that in Thursday’s update.

    I like that you do a mid month check in. That is great for accountability. You are rocking your 30 by 40 list, girl! Way to go. Just do 5 a month (easier said than done. haha)

    Still working on summer plans here. We usually do less during the summer just because there are so many others traveling during those months. Spring cleaning is done, thank goodness!

    Sounds like so far you have been productive! I’m totally in spring cleaning mode and because of that have been neglecting my writing as well. Yesterday I completely cleaned out and organized my office. Today on the agenda- going to clean the bathroom and throw away the old shower curtains (they are super gross) and put in new ones. Will sort of be fun because I’m re-decorating? Tomorrow on the agenda- clean out the fridge! I’m scheduling myself one organizing task a day so I don’t feel overwhelmed ๐Ÿ™‚ Of course it doesn’t help that I’ll have the house cleaned and then my fiancรฉ will come home and mess it up. oh well; such is life! Best of luck with your goals for the rest of May!! xo

    Your kick butt on your 30 before 40 list! I wanted to do a 30 before 30…yeah that didn’t happen because I turn 30 next week. I may try to do something with it still. I also can not believe that we are almost done with may. Where has this year gone. I did some Spring Cleaning over the weekend and it was a good thing. I’m slowly trying to do more. Good luck with accomplishing more of your goals this month!

    It is so hard to have the energy you need when you start eating different! I have been through that many times. It’s so worth it though because once you do get there, you’ll have so much more energy and feel so much more motivated. Sounds like you’re doing awesome on your goals! Where are you going for your road trip and birthday trip?
