Halfway (oops a little over) through review. Hoo boy, did not see a lot of this coming.
1. Choose restaurants with intention, rather than "I'm tired. I'm hungry. Let's go for burgers and beer."
So much better about this in 2021. We did no restaurant month in January and crushed it. Even in times of chaos, we have been a lot more intentional about restaurants and choices.
2. Complete at least one session with Stronger U and my coach. (along with this comes macro tracking and being more mindful about the things I'm eating and drinking)
I spent 6 months with my coach through a LOT of ups and downs. ✅
3. Lose 30 lbs by my 40th birthday. (12/5/21)
Down 15 as of July. Have some work to do here.
4. Go somewhere new. This is going to be challenging but I'm going to make it happen.
Goal I thought would be the hardest, was the easiest. ✅
5. Go to a new National Park.
Hawaii Volcanoes! Boom! ✅
6. Get my vaccination card! Technically this all occurred in 2020 but I want that card of sweet, sweet beauty as proof.
Got it in January! One upped myself and got Owen into a trial so he’s been vaccinated well before his peers! ✅
7. Remodel our master bathroom.
Finished in early June! ✅
8. Go on a trip for my birthday. I want to go to Germany but I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
Sedona is booked! Hoping to get to Antelope Canyon if it’s reopened.
9. Master our sourdough starter!
Work in progress but I gave up trying in Houston.
10. Run a half marathon before my birthday.
Hmm. Not sure if I want to do this but I should have opportunity to in the fall if I want to.
11. Figure out how to compost.
Done! But leaving it in Houston 😂😬❌
12. Grow a garden.
Had the best garden ever but it’s kind of crapping out at the moment because it NEVER STOPS RAINING.
13. Keep my houseplants alive.
😬❌ discovered that our house doesn’t have enough natural light. TBD on how this goes in Kansas.
14. Figure out my next step in my career. Goal is to not be in my same position by next January, however that happens.
✅ and ❌ I quit my job so this goal will be met no matter what. Remains to be seen what the next step will be.
15. Do another cooking class, even if that has to be virtual.
Need to figure this out when we move.
16. Take an iPhone photography class.
Bought one and have yet to do it 🤦🏻♀️
17. Hike a mountain.
Done! ✅ Gem Lake trail in RMNP. Going to do Camelback again in December.
18. Get my CEOP and RSTBS certifications.
❌❌ no longer applicable.
Goals that are a hold over from 2020 - Let's try this again!
19. Take Owen on another mother + son trip.
Not sure how this will shake down but we spent a lot of time alone together in Kansas City on one of Adam’s work trips so does that count- ish?
20. Date night once a month
I think this has mostly been an abysmal fail although we are making up for it currently on Owen’s trip to Utah.
21. Monthly budget. I need to follow through with this and work to pay the car off.
