March Monthly Resolutions

It’s that time again. Time to check in and be held accountable for my monthly goals. So how did I fare for February? 

Goal 1: Go the the gym 3x week- again…. failed. 

I made it there at least twice a week and I’m sure chasing after Emmett and Ollie have to count as a workout too, but I didn’t get in 3 solid 35 to 45 minute workouts per week. :-(

Goal 2: Get my reading nook completed… successful-ish. 

The area is painted, decor is hung, pillows bought, and books sorted and ready to be shelved. The only thing missing is the bookshelf and I haven’t bought it because I know exactly which one I want but I can’t bring myself to pay full price. As soon as that sucker goes on sale I’m buying it! I want this little nook to be completed so bad because I know it will be so cute and I love that all our books and games will be in one neat, organized space. Just the thought of this makes me so happy.

Goal 3: Date night… failed. 

While we did get lunch out for just the two of us, we did not, however, find the time to book a babysitter and make a night of it. I had intentions to get this done but the weekends got filled up with other plans leaving little time for a night away. This goal isn’t dead… Pierce, I promise we will get a date night on the books!

March Goals:

Goal 1: No soda. 

March 1st is also Ash Wednesday which marks the beginning of Lent. I don’t fast but I do like to give up something for Lent. This year I’ve decided to give up something I enjoy but isn’t good for me... soda. This is going to be difficult because I love a cherry coke. I also considered alcohol, but let’s get real… Lord knows I need a drink every once in while after work and the boys have me at my wit’s end. I knew I would be setting myself up to fail if I picked that. I figured I can handle giving up soda, plus it will be good for my body since I’m trying to get toned for summer. 

Goal 2: Get in the gym for 35 to 45 minutes at least 3 times per week. 

Goodness Gracious, what’s wrong with me! I have to quit making excuses and go. I’m going to keep this on my list, but I have a feeling this is the month I accomplish my goal. 

Goal 3: Get my guest room completed. 

I’ve figured out what I want it to look like but now I need to put in the work to get it done which includes painting the room. I’m not sure what color I want but it definitely needs a fresh coat of paint. The previous owners must not have known how to hang pictures because for every spot where a picture hung there are at least 3 to 4 nail holes in the wall. There so many nail holes in this room it’s ridiculous! This room needs some love and I'm ready to make it a comfortable, relaxing space for our guests. 

Goal 4: Date night with the hubs. 

Repeat: I will find the time and make this happen!

These are my monthly goals. I like putting them on paper because it helps hold me accountable to keep progressing in my life on multiple levels. What are your goals for this month?

On another note, I was gone for a little longer than normal because my little cuddle bug, Ollie, has been sick, and when he doesn't sleep, I don't sleep. So I've had no energy at night to post. On Saturday at 2:30am I had to take him to the emergency room because he was having a very difficult time breathing and it was so scary. Turns out he has pneumonia. Thankfully he is on the mend and seems to be feeling and breathing much better. Say a little pray that he continues to heal. It breaks my heart to see my children in pain.

Here's to hoping March has wonderful things in store for you all!
