February, a month where I didn't accomplish much

Usually I manage to make good progress against my monthly goals, but it just wasn't meant to be in February. Between getting sick on a business trip, and then being sick for an additional week, taking the kids skiing, & then coming back to work craziness... well, it was one of those months!

But, on to the recap of my goals for February:

1) Financial

• Stick to the budget - shockingly, we were under our budget for all major categories (dining out, groceries, gas, etc). Woohoo!
• Finalize house payoff model - we've made some progress, but this will be a continual work in progress. 
• Come up with a new way to reduce what we need/spend on an ongoing basis - I've decided to do our taxes, which will save us about $700-750 this year
• Discuss 3, 5 & 10 year financial plan options - we have a few plans in place, including what I've described as "worst case scenario". The rest will be finalized as my job plans (or lack thereof) firm up. 
• Finish our taxes - 95% of the way there. I'll use the weekend to really finish. 

2) Family - spend more time together

• Do a minimum of one fun activity/month with the kids - we went skiing together!
• Be more present with the kids & M. Play games, minimize computer time, exercise together, etc. - we had a great ski vacation, but still struggle in the evenings. Nick & I also briefly went for a run together, so we had that as well. 
• Have two dates with M - no, and this was a major failure that we need to resolve. We need time together!

3) Fitness/health

• Run 8 times - with being sick, I managed only 3 runs. 
• Track calories & eat five servings of fruit & vegetables/day - I was at 4.4
• 28 workouts - I managed 17/28 workouts. 
• 8 meditations - and, completed 5/8 meditations

4) Work/career - improve my work life balance

• Keep better perspective at work/reduce stress until I leave- eh, I did okay with this. Mostly because I had a vacation in there. 
• Finalize sabbatical time off plans - I finalized dates for a Hawaii trip, which means I'll now be able to make progress. 
• Meditate, workout, journal in 5 minute blocks as time permits. Shooting for six each. - I did okay with this, and both meditated & wrote in my journal, tried to have walking meetings, but the weather wasn't great for that. 

5) Personal/creative

• Do something social at least once per month - nope. Had lunch plans with a friend, but had to push it out to March. 
• Volunteer 1x/month - nope. 
• Finish organizing all print & digital photos - ha. Nope. Didn't even really touch this one. 
• Write/journal 8 times - Yes! I journaled 9 times. 
• Read one non-fiction book - I'm halfway through with "Daring Greatly", which I've enjoyed. 

And, that's it from my side. What about you? How did you do with your February goals?
