June Goals Recap

June was a month with a change of scenery & a change of routine. I loved everything about the change of scenery, but it does demonstrate how well I do with a routine, and how I struggle a bit more with a change of routine. Wouldn't trade it, but so useful to see the impact on my goals!

1) Financial

• Stick to the budget - yes.
• Achieve our next mortgage milestone - yes, crushed it! I need to get more aggressive on this one
• No clothing/shoes purchases (for me) - I bought a two pack of sports bras. With running more often, I need to replace my 10 year old sports bras that are stretched out. I have plenty going on up top, so a supportive & comfortable sports bra is both essential & really tricky to find. 
• Make $350 in side hustle - I made $854 in June!
• Keep working through freezer/pantry clean out. Use 10 items off of the list - I'm giving myself a pass, because I was super organized & planned every meal around fridge/freezer items & leftovers at both houses. 

2) Family

• Play tennis weekly with the boys (or, another fun activity) - done, while they were with us. They were with my parents for a few weeks as well. 
• Off the computer by 7:30 each evening - did really well, particularly at our vacation house
• Have a weekly half hour alone with M - oh yes! We had a few days alone together as well
• Monthly calls (or shared videos) with M's family - I did get in touch with M's family at his birthday with photos, but no call/video this month
• Two hours of practicing Farsi or Spanish - Yes
• Make revised July/August plans - Like all good plans, these have been set & then readjusted. And need another adjustment, as we hone in on days for house projects at both of the houses. 

3) Fitness/health

• Lose 2 lbs - I don't have a scale here, but I'm guessing I've gained a pound or so. Plenty of celebrations along the way
• Work out every day - I didn't work out on the day we drove 12 hours, but worked out every day. And, had plenty of double work out days!
• Track calories, aim for 1400 calories/day. - Yikes, no. My calories were high in June, with an average of 1693. 
• Complete 1400 minutes of cardio, 10 strength & 5 stretching workouts - 1685, 6, & 4, respectively. 
• Meditate 20 times - 6 meditations, as I got out of the routine at our vacation house. 
• Run 10 times - I ran 17 times!

4) Personal/creative

• Spend time with friends (virtually, or otherwise) - Yes, several virtual chats & in person running & hiking
• Volunteer - no, nothing came up
• Journal 25 times - 19 times
• Grow as a person:
• Adapt a more positive mind set - doing pretty well with this, and have removed some news sources
• Listen more vs talking - okay with this one
• Reduce swearing - more work to do
• Read one non-fiction book - nope, but I did do a bunch of reading (articles) & video watching for Juneteenth education, so considering this a pass
• Compliment M every day - yes
• Support the kids with online learning - yes, and everyone passed their classes! :-) 
• One project/day (taking advantage of WFH) - yes, the productivity continues!

All in all, I'm satisfied with how i did in June. How did you do with your goals for the month?
