Considering how April began (with some gnarly alergies), it ended better than expected. And thankfully I’m feeling much better too! I think May will be just as good if not better. Here’s to hoping anyway.
My goal sheet says I hit 86% of my goals, wow! I’ll take it! Total shocker. In full transparency, I did adjust a couple along the way. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
I struggled with the same goals I had trouble with in March: weight loss, doing people things, and making any significant progress on my patio door goal.
I didn’t do so well with my AM routine either (or at least the AM routine I should have been doing— I was very consistent with not exercising and drinking coffee on the couch instead). Also because of my allergy/sickness, Fran and I postponed our IKEA outing.
I also went in to my annual goals list and made some cuts, put some on the back burner and highlighted the few I want to prioritize.
So, what’s slated for May?

I’m feeling quite good about these goals. Not too overwhelmed by the thought of them. I’ve broken the bigger ones down into manageable chunks and have scheduled them throughout the month. So far, I’m already off to a good start.
What goals are you tackling in May?
