30 Day Goals - July

Happy Monday, friends!

As promised, I've divvied up a few goals for myself for the next 30 days. I've decided to take this month by month, so I don't get confused when the 30 days starts & stops. I've also decided to set three goals for myself instead of four. I might change this in the future but for now, we'll see how it goes!

Goals for July include...

> Complete Jillian Michaels' Ripped in 30! This seems to be sweeping the blogosphere. I am a huge Jillian Michael's fan. I have every dvd she's put out & I really believe in her techniques. I've always used her dvd's as more of a tool, rather than something I do every single day. But I'm enjoying this dvd so much that I'd like to see it through & see what kind of results I get!

> Carry my camera more - Take more photos - & blog, blog, blog! No more once-a-weekers.

> Pinch more pennies. It's no secret that I've got a serious spending problem. I'd like to cut down on my Starbucks intake (pfftyeahright) & quit spending money on little things I don't need (that means staying away from my beloved Target). I'm moving out in a little over 30 days so saving is a must!

I've set up a goal tab so I'll be able to look back & see what I've accomplished over time. Goals will be different each month. Some goals will strive to help me become a better person. Some might encourage me to visit a place I've never been before. But all goals will be personal, challenging, & just right for me!

An Update

I don't understand where the days go! They seem to drag on forever as I'm going through the motions but then all of the sudden its been almost two weeks since I've had any time to use the interwebz! Crazy.

Well, here I am. My 30 Day Detox has come to a close (officially on the 22nd) & boy, am I glad I did it! I can't say I accomplished all the goals I set out for myself but I'm very proud of my current mindset. Alot changed in these past 30 days & alot of it has to do with positive attitude which seems to carry me through the rough days.

I did not complete 20 workouts or plan&prepare 3 real dinners for myself. I did however drink alot more water & eat alot more veggies! Eating breakfast at home was a bust too so I'll just have to refocus. I found a place to live in Nashville. WOOP! I'll be moving into my new house on August 6th. It's an adorable house in 12th South. Just a few blocks from my favorite restaurant & favorite bar. What a steal! I'll be living with two of my bestfriends & I am really looking forward to it. Moving always feels like a fresh start. Can't wait...!

I haven't visited Cheekwood yet, but it's on my social calendar, which means it will be happening in the near future! I also didn't purchase a new record player but that's because I figured out how to fix the current one that I have. I did manage to sustain from negative tweeting for 30 days, which I'll be continuing because I love it!

I've decided to write up a whole new set of challenges for myself for the next 30 days. I plan on doing this every month. I'll give myself 4 new goals to accomplish each time. This way I won't feel overwhelmed with having too many tasks to complete. They will range anywhere from fitness goals to social goals as well as everything in between. & hopefully I'll be blogging more! I do so many fun things during the week that I would love to share. I just have to get better about carrying my camera around...but I'm determined!

Come back tomorrow for my list of goals.

What are your goals for the next 30 days?
