And that my friends is the end of January....boy has this month just flown by. This month has been a pretty good month but I am looking forward to it being February tomorrow. Last year I did my monthly wrap-up and new goals in one post but this year I am going to shake things up and do separate posts. So welcome to my January wrap-up.
January's Goals
1.Book an appointment with the Oral Hygienist | I almost chickened out of this one. I have this ridiculous fear of dentists and while I force myself to go to my six monthly check ups, I have up until now, seen these as optional. My one little word of Brave has been lent on a lot this month because not only did I book the appointment but there was a cancellation and so I ended up going to the appointment as well during January! Go Lynne!
2. Finish reading one book | I had planned to finish reading "What Colour is Your Parachute" but I wanted to spend the proper time working through the activities so instead, I decided that I was going to read "Pearl in the sand". This is the second time that I have read this book and I loved it just as much, if not more, this time round. If you haven;t yet read it then take the plunge. Goal 2 done!
3. Apply for a volunteering position | I finally applied for a volunteering role. The next intake of new people is in April so for now this larger goal is on hold. Goal 3 done!
4. Prepare my Project Life album for 2016 | Goal 4 Done. Feel free to take a look at my first few pages here.
5. Decide on my One Little Word for 2016 and complete January's prompts | So I didn't get around to sharing my pages on the blog but they are all done. This years word is turning into some really personal stuff so far so I may decide to pick and choose which prompts to share as the year goes on. Goal 5 done.
6. Set a budget and track against it | I am counting this goal as done. Budget is all setup for the year as well as more specifically for January. The only thing that I haven't yet done is track January's spend but as the month is not yet done I haven't yet completed it.
7. Save 10% of my salary | Goal 7 done!
8. Lose or maintain my weight at each weeks weigh in | January has been a bit of a fluctuating month for my weekly weigh-ins unfortunately. So while I weigh less at the end of the month than I did starting out the month, I wasn't able to keep that weight loss consistently going in the right direction.
9. Stretch or do Yoga each week day | This was a complete fail for me. I think what would have made this goal more doable was if I had picked out a routine before hand. Instead I spent ages searching for the perfect one and then did't like the routine.
10. Take my vitamins daily | Goal 10 achieved!
11. Come to the well | I am loving the impact that this time has had on my life so far and will definitely be continuing with this one. Goal 11 done!
Nine out of eleven goals done is brilliant. A great start to 2016!
