Goals for July

July is a crazy month with multiple trips & vacations. Super excited for the personal trips, less so for the work trip to Japan. Here's what I'm hoping to accomplish in July.

1) Financial - 

• Wrap up all last minute projects for the Seattle house sale. 
• Finalize our budget list for our (new) house
• Finalize family budget for post rental house sale
• Find one alternative cost cutting option
• Keep July grocery spending to a minimum, and use as much as possible on our family vacation/avoid waste.
• Sell another $100 of items on either eBay or my local Facebook swap site. 
• More decluttering & organizing in our new house (would like to get the boys closet shelving installed, so they can put away/organize all of their games & toys)
• Stay on budget for all our July events.

2) Family - Spend more time together as a family!

• Do a minimum of one fun activity/month with the kids. This can be family puzzle night, cooking dinner together, board games, going out somewhere, etc. 
• Be more present with the kids & M - play games, minimize computer time, exercise together, etc.
• Enjoy an adult only vacation with M, to celebrate his milestone birthday. 

3) Fitness/health - Lose 4 pounds in June

• 30 miles of pace training for my relay
• Stay focused on my fitness, despite all of the many trips
• Eat five servings of fruit & vegetables (combined) per day
• Complete 1000 minutes of cardio
• Complete 6 strength workouts.
• Complete 6 stretching workouts. 

4) Work/career - Improve my work life balance.

• Keep better perspective at work/reduce stress 
• Work from home 2x this month.
• Brainstorm how I would spend my time if I wasn't working. Really think creatively about what this would mean, what the challenges would be, etc.

5) Personal/creative - Spend more time on myself/creative pursuits.

• Try a new recipe
• Do something social at least once per month.
• Volunteer a minimum of 1x/month.
