January Recap

One of my very favorite things about this lovely blog is being able to look back over the months and have such a nice { & organized!} way of keeping track of what is going on in my life…

I loved recapping my 2011 goals and setting some new ones for 2012… and so far I have gotten this year off to a pretty fantastic start…

Here is a recap of how I kept up with my goals this month: My 2012 Goals can be found here...

• I have kept up with my healthy eating, but could def kick it up a notch as far as being the crazy, health fanatic I strive to be… BUT I am still keeping track of my food and exercise with My Fitness Pal… and as of today I have logged in for 238 days in a row!
• I have kept up with organizing our home… and have big plans for some cleaning & organizing this Friday
• I made a new vision board that I have hanging in our closet to keep me motivated
• Bennett has been getting a lot of extra walks… and he LOVES it!
• We had a budget talk and I am soooo proud of us!  We have already saved quite a bit of money this month!  Little cut backs make a big difference!
• I completed my gym & yoga goals… exercising at least 4x/week and yoga 4x/month!  Yay me! I love my fill-in-the blank workout sheet!  It keeps me motivated and I love keeping track of my daily activities!
• I logged 95 miles worth of activity this month!  Awesome! 
• I read 4 books! 

What else happened this month??

• I had a week off of work while the salon got a little makeover… it was so awesome and the new floors look fantastic!
• I attended two different hair classes… love my job and any chance I get to learn more about this industry is a blessing
• Kayla came home for a week and it was so nice to see her and her boyfriend
• We made a weekend trip to Chicago to see Dad and Courtney!
• Very mild weather, and it has been rather strange… but I will take it!  Needless to say it is making me extra anxious for spring!
• Clarkie gave us quite a scare, but I’m glad he is in great hands and hopefully will bounce back quickly after his next surgery… I realize that things can happen so quickly and it really makes me take a step back and put things in perspective…
• I attempted a detox… I wrote a recap here… Again, another lesson learned…

Another month of blessings and opportunities… so blessed to be surrounded by amazing family & friends… God is so gracious and good…

Here’s to a fantastic February!
