August Goals Recap

 August was an action packed month, and we squeezed a lot in! Here's how I did with my goals. 

Financial:

• Achieved savings goal. - We stayed even for the month, and maintained our savings. Hoping for better results in September. 
• Confirm that M's BA miles were extended - I need to confirm. We forgot to do this
• Sort out United credit plan - done! We're going to Spain!
• Freezer challenge: get rid of a minimum of six items. - done. Gave away a huge package of popsicles Nick got from work, used up freezer bananas & fruit, and used up quite a few frozen meals. 

Family:

• Have a successful back to school (last one for K-12!) for Nick - yes, it's gone smoothly
• Help Nick with college essays/applications - we've made good progress, but the deadlines really ramp in September
• Help Sam with college readiness, deciding what to bring for college & declutter his room - we made a lot of good progress on the decluttering front
• Plan one fun family activity, as a reward for Nick winning the Presidential Volunteer award - yes, we squeezed in a fabulous camping trip to Big Sur, so he could try out his new camping gear

Fitness:

• Finish Hood to Coast relay - nope, couldn't do it this year
• Start PT for hip & back issues - yes, done & have been moderately consistent & noticing an improvement in my hip. Back remains basically the same. 
• Stretch 12 times - yes
• 12 strength workouts - yes
• Follow the No S diet 15 days & track calories daily - I actually did half of this (track calories daily), but only 8 days of the No S diet. My daily calories were, on average, 1492. This is pretty eye opening for me, and I've been focusing on tracking  more, so I can have a better sense of how to maintain my weight as I enter menopause. 

Personal:

• Meditate 20 times - I only meditated 9 times
• Get together with friends - coffee & hikes with friends
• Practice Farsi/Spanish 20 times - 21 times
• Declutter 25 items - crushed this goal in August, thanks to decluttering Sam's room
• Continue exploring jobs - yes, lots of time spent on this
• Spend time on volunteer role - yes, I'm now mentoring two students
