Goals Update: June 1-June 7th
Posted by Lise on 09 Jun 2008 at 10:29 am | Tagged as: goals
As you’ll recall, I set three goals for myself this month:
- 11 days consecutive exercise
- 30 minutes of blog work per day (hint: reading other people’s blogs does not count as blog work!)
- Restaurant budget under $100
Exercise: I skipped out on exercise on the 4th and 6th, thus voiding my 11 consecutive days. On the 4th I had an impromptu after-work visit from a friend, which kept me busy until almost bedtime, and on the 6th I spent most of my evening compiling a garage sale map (there were a LOT of garage sales this weekend). However, the rest of the month stretches ahead of me, and I’m encouraged by the fact that I seem to have lost some weight.
Blog work. I’ve been seriously on and off with this one - I think I only managed 4 out of the 7 days of last week. I’ve started a lot of blog posts, but haven’t finished polishing them. For example, I started writing an article (or series of articles) on homebrewing, which aren’t quite ready yet. In some sense this was a bad month to start, because I’m taking an intensive summer class. A better goal would have been to devote myself to that! Still, I’m pretty pleased with the work I’ve been doing. I’m overwhelmed with ideas for upcoming posts; I just need to actually get them written and posted.
Restaurant budget: I’m at $40/$100 for the month, which is a little bit ahead of where I should be, but I’m still on track. I just need to keep reminding myself that restaurants in my area really aren’t that good.
