February goals recap

As always, the month flew by! Here's how I did with my February goals. 

Financial:

  • Continue to pay for Sam's college expenses - yes
  • Get a new job - I have a new part-time job that I start in April, but still looking for something else as well
  • Earn $300 in side hustle - $1276, with a large part of this being our Costco rebate. Without that, I would have still been over $300
  • Pantry/freezer challenge 
    • 1/2 pizza - gone
    • Bottle of dressing - no progress
    • Rest of the holiday cheese - 1/2 gone
  • Estimate taxes & figure out funding plan - one set of returns filed, one set estimated, and funding plan in place

Family:

  • Continue to help Nick with final college decisions - yes, and we have two tours this weekend to hopefully finalize a decision. 
  • Have a great visit with Sam - we had so much fun when I was in Corvallis
  • Optimize points, perks & miles. Track value. - the failed ski trip included a free night awards & points, so at least the hotel was free? We saved $720 vs paying out of pocket.
  • Finalize Spain trip details. - booked trains
  • Enjoy Nick's senior year. Have a great visit with family when everyone visits for senior night. - my dad being sick made this challenging, but Nick had an incredible senior night. 
Fitness:
  • Lose 2 lbs - I lost .8 lbs
  • Strength train 15 days - 16/15
  • No S diet 15 days - 5/15
  • Average 12,000 steps/day - 12,554
  • Meditate 10 times - 2/10
  • Try a new workout - no 
Personal:
  • Language lessons 15 times - 12/15
  • Declutter 50 items from the house - 10/50
  • Look into a college class - no progress
  • Get together with friends 2x - met a friend for a hike, and a friend for coffee
  • Play pickleball x1 - no
  • Do something towards my goals of, "Try something new & uncomfortable" and "Say yes to more adventures" - no progress
What about you? How did you do with your February goals?

  1. You always have long goal lists and lots of green in your recap. Well done. Exciting time for Nick.

  2. I feel like my To Do list and Goals list are one and the same and I'm managing to get a fair amount crossed off each list. Good on you for all of the forward progress on yours!

  3. I paid taxes and then I forgot that I had to renew car tags and rushed around and did that this past week. My wallet is considerably lighter… lol. I did get a slight raise and although it was not enough to cover the taxes and tags, I still appreciate it. Cindy in the South

  4. I am actually surprised that I managed to get most of them done or almost done. I still think you did very well with yours.

    God bless.
