August Goals Recap

 Wow, August was a wild ride, closing with the running relay & COVID! Here's what I accomplished for my goals this month.

Financial:

• Stick to our budget - we did "okay" this month, but had a lot of back to school expenses. 
• Use six "hard to use" freezer or pantry items - I used a ton of bananas, to make muffins. We also ate through quite a few freezer leftovers, when the boys were with my parents. 
• Make $100 in side hustle - I made $0 in side hustle in August

Family:

• One fun activity with the kids - I did a breakfast & a lunch out with Sam, but Nick & I didn't get to anything this month (unless you count those doctor's visits ;-)). That's on my list for next month! However, I did get Nick to deep clean his room, which was a crazy time investment, and so very worth it! He got rid of about 1/3 of his room contents. 
• Prep & get ready for back to school - Done. All registrations, sports physicals, & forms complete!
• Work in the yard - I did okay with this. Some garden work, but not as much as I'd have liked. 
• Two dates with M -  Yes! We had a long weekend together in Las Vegas, and several afternoons with cocktails by the pool
• Prep for September travel - yes. Made a lot of progress on this

Fitness/Health:

• Complete my running plan for the month & successfully finish my legs at Hood to Coast - yes & yes! Despite not feeling well
• Follow the No S diet - yes, this is still going well
• Meditate 3x - nope
• Have a colonoscopy - yes, and what a treat that was ;-) 

Personal:

• Do something social with friends - yes, I met a couple friends for coffee, walks & a hike
• Practice French on Duolingo - yes, most days
• Finalize all France activities - yes! we are 95% of the way complete
• Give away 20 items on Buy Nothing - I probably 3x'd this target
• Try new garden recipes - Not a new recipe, but I did make pickled jalapenos for M
• Get back into journaling - nope

That's it for me. How did you do with your goals for August?
