May Goals Recap

 I can't believe it's June! 

May was a pretty good month for goals, but as always, progress not perfection is what I'm aiming for.

Here's how we did for the month. 

Financial:

  • Bank all of M's severance, and open CDs.  - No severance yet, so this rolls over to next month
  • Shuffle existing CDs for better rates - yes, and dates added to the calendar for the next round
  • Sign up for COBRA - yes
  • Find a job - well, I've invested a ton of time, but nothing so far
  • Continue with part-time job, and invoice for the first half of classes - yes, and done
  • Earn $300 in side hustle - $107 in side hustle, but also the class. I'll count that when I'm paid. 
  • Get rid of 3 pantry items - I've used up a dressing, and barbecue sauce. So, 2/3.
Family:
  • Plan Nick's graduation - yes! It's next week
  • Date night with M - yes, we went out after photos for Nick's prom
  • Work with the boys on various life stuff - Sam got signed up for summer classes, joined a gym, found a job, and found a dojo for his martial arts. Nick took his AP classes, finished out the school year and tennis, and is in the home stretch!
Fitness:
  • Lose 2 lbs - I lost .9 lbs
  • 15, 20, 15 -  strength workouts, No S days, meditations - 19 strength workouts, 8 No S days, 6 meditations
  • Try a new workout - nothing really jumps to mind, although the day I did a hard workout class, followed by a hike with a friend was definitely...more than I'd bargained for. ;)
  • Average 12,500 steps/day - 12,210, so pretty close but not quite

Personal:
  • Get together with friends x2 - yes. Met two friends for a hike, got coffee after a workout 3x with friends, introduced two other friends for a group hike
  • Say yes to adventure & try new things - I have been working on expanding my social network, and meeting up with new friends, which is going well
  • Reduce screen time - I'd say maybe a 5% reduction. Definitely a little improvement, but nothing drastic. 
  • Declutter 50 items - 39/50
What about you? How did you do with your May goals? Any wins to share, or goals you will roll over to next month?

  2. Windows and new door are in but there is a small leak around door ( we hadMonsoons like rains a couple of days) and it has definitely been rainy and wet this month. The repair man is supposed to be here on June 13th for free. I was right on target for exercise. Unfortunately I did have a few emergency expenses. Cindy in the South

  3. I can't remember specific May goals (the brain fog strikes again!) but I did manage to make changes to my little auto irrigation system all by myself and that was a biggie.
