I have been having a rough go of April so far, and I blame my goals! lol… but really, I do! In an attempt to finish working on my mom’s loft (spurred on by an impending post deadline :::cough::: next Wednesday :::cough:::), I might have kicked up some dust that took. me. out! Nevertheless, I still set goals for April.
March goals weren’t too much of a bust. My goal sheet says I hit 74% of them, I’ll take it. There were a few that I started and/or made significant progress on, but didn’t technically complete, so I didn’t check them off. No surprise really, but the ones I struggled with were my weight loss goal, my community goals (because, people) and my patio door goal…
So, what’s up in April?

Still not cutting back! These goals are actually stemming from new (and repeating) quarterly goals. If you read my Q1 reflection post HERE, you may remember that I’m on the fence about quarterly goals. That said, I’m trying them out again and may even do it all year. TBD. In the meantime, I’m hoping to kick this allergy/sinus/cold situ in the butt so I can really get started on my April goals (though I have already checked two off the list!!! And am working on a couple of others, the easy ones).
What goals are you tackling in April?
