I set a lot of goals for this month. I started off very motivated, but as usual, this eventually wore off. Here’s how I did this month.

1. Read 5 books * yes I did this!
2. Run 30 miles * I ran 36 miles. The most so far this year
3. Spend less than $30 on fast food or take out (theme parks are the exception) × lol nope, I spent $200 😭
4. No Amazon × I failed but I spent less than $75
5. No Target × I also failed here but spent less than $80
6. Make $300 with my business ×major fail I made less than $100 🙃
7. Write 5 posts on my blog × I failed. Had so many in my drafts and forgot to write and post them
8. 20 days of using phone 6 hours or less × phone and screen time has been such a struggle for me this year
9. Meatless Mondays ×I forgot about this honestly.
10. Go to the gym 2 times a week × didn’t go to the gym because I didn’t want to get hurt before my marathon
11. Post 3 videos on YouTube ×only posted 1 video
12. Post 5 videos on TikTok *I ended up posting 6 videos!
13. Post 5 videos on Instagram ×I only posted 1 video
14. Take my daughter out 2 days a week (theme park, park, nature activities etc) *I did this most weeks, so much fun
15. Have 100 followers on TikTok × no , but I went from 30 to 60 followers

I know we have a few more days left in February, but I don’t think I will accomplish these goals. I ended up accomplishing 4 out of the 10 goals. Happy for the goals I accomplished, but wanted to do better. Will keep most of the same goals for March, might add a few more.

1. Read 5 books * This one was easy for me, I usually read 2 books a week
2. Run 25 miles x I have a hard time running when it’s so cold, only ran once
3. No fast food or take out (theme parks are the exception) x failed, but i did cut back compared to last month
4. No Amazon x also failed, most things I bought were for my daughter or my business
5. No Target x Came here a few times, including when I got some Easter things for my daughter
6. Make $300 with my business x only made $90 this month
7. Save $500 *I was able to save more than this
8. Declutter 300 items * I think I decluttered close to 600 things! I still have a lot more to go
9. Write 5 posts on my blog * This one was also easy
10. 20 days of using phone 6 hours or less x This one is so hard! But the last week, I have been able to cut back on my phone usage. Maybe I can accomplish this in March.

I feel more motivated this month, so I will be setting more goals for myself.
