Welcome to our first "Go For the Goal" link-up! I hope y'all consider sharing the progress you've made so far with your New Year's resolutions/goals, whether they are fitness-related, financially driven, personal, etc. We figured that these monthly check-ins would be a fantastic way to celebrate progress and pick up some great tips in the process!
Running:
* To listen to my body and take rest days when needed. I am three weeks into my training program, and I JUST took a rest day on Monday. I'm pretty sure I pulled a muscle during yoga and decided to take a day off to heal.
* To run a sub 2:00 half-marathon. Minus the pulled muscle and a crazy week, my training for a spring half is off to a great start. I've slowed down and incorporated speed work and tempo runs.
* To NOT rule out the possibility of a full marathon. Still waiting on NYC. Who knows??? :)
* To continue to practice yoga and Bar Method once a week (each). DONE!
Blogging:
* To post three times per week. DONE! Now, let's see if it continues!
* To take more quality photos and not be so reliant on my iPhone. This is definitely something I can stand to improve. I just never have my camera handy!
* To add one new link-up feature. You're looking at it!
Personal:
* To cook one meal per week for my adorable and much-deserving husband. Umm. I think I have done this ONCE! I really need to start using Pinterest for ideas.
* To FINALLY, FOR REALSIES quit the Starbucks. I would like to state that it has been 14 days since my last Starbucks trip, thanks to my new Keurig!
* To "unplug" from social media one evening per week. Epic fail on all counts. I feel like I am turning off the computer earlier, but I am still online each night.
* To become my own version of a "Crazy Couponing Lady". I purchased a coupon organizer, but so far, have yet to use the coupons. Oops:)

Is your year off to a great start? Share your progress with us!
A crazy coupon lady! Ha! You did well this month! I have a Keurig and love it!
ReplyDeleteYou've done GREAT! Awesome job! Let's just both assume we're getting into NYC. Power of positive thinking. And it would be so fun to have someone to possibly start with and see at the finish. I want it so badly!
ReplyDeleteI love this link-up. And it's awesome you've stayed on track with quite a few things. =) A few of us are doing a blog swap in March to help with resolutions/goals that we all set. We should work together so it incorporates with your link-up too!!!

DeleteYou definitely have some great goals! Hope you get into the NYC ING! :)
ReplyDeleteDITTO on the running goals!
ReplyDeleteI really need to work on unplugging from social media more. Thank goodness I don't have internet on my phone or I'd be in HUGE trouble.
ReplyDeleteI like your half marathon goal. My sister set that (less than 2 hours) for her first half and she ran it in 1:40!! (She's a beast). I know you can do it!
ReplyDeleteI tried to be a couponer but I sucked at clipping after a few weeks....I need to get back on the bandwagon.
ReplyDeleteYou're doing great!!!
ReplyDeleteI try to unplug some nights too but it just doesn't work. Electronics are just so addicting!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're doing good on all of your goals! I know what you mean about being on the computer. I find once I turn it off, I end up getting on my phone more.
