July Goals

So crazy to think it’s July already! I feel like every month goes faster and faster. Hard to believe it’s time for my July Goals. As much as I am not a huge fan of summer (Texas gets too hot), I am enjoying the more laid back weekends. There were a lot of things I wanted to do in June. In July I hope to accomplish even more. First lets see how I did in June, then we can take a look at my July Goals.

July-Goals-o

In June I wanted to…

  1. Read eight books! Can I do this every month? Time will tell! I read 5 books. Not my best month but we had a lot going on!
  2. Spend more time with friends one-on-one. I did get to see a few of my friends one-on-one this month, but a lot of people went on vacations.
  3. Surprise my dad with something for Father’s Day. I did get to surprise my dad with a fun gift! He was thrilled!
  4. Plan a trip for later in the year. We are working on our anniversary trip planning now! We are heading to California again!
  5. Organize a few closets upstairs. I swear one of these days this will happen.
  6. Go to my gym’s barre class at least once or twice. I did get a chance to take this class once it was great!
  7. Workout six times a week. I have been pretty good about working out 5-6 times a week!
  8. Cook one new meal or bake one new thing. We cooked a few new meals this month. One of my favorites was the fried rice we made. It’s a lot healthier than normal fried rice.

In July I want to…

  1. Read 5 books.
  2. Have two dates with Andrew to places we haven’t been before.
  3. Go to a museum in Dallas.
  4. Try one new restaurant.
  5. Organize the upstairs closets. If I keep adding it to the list, it’s bound to happen right?
  6. Clean out some areas of my office.
  7. Pull things from my closet I no longer wear and sell/donate.
  8. Bake banana bread

I would love to know what some of your July Goals are! I also plan on posting in a few weeks a bit of a mid-year check in on my 2016 goals!

What is one of your July Goals?

  2. If I can just finish “Wild and Free” this Summer, I’ll be doing good. I also want my husband and I to read “You and Me Forever” by Francis Chan, but that hasn’t happened yet.
    Good luck on this month’s goals!

  11. Good job on sticking to most of your goals! I have been nesting like a maniac since our first baby is due in September and working for a school, I’m off work right now & have time to get a lot done. Pretty much all of my goals for this month revolve around getting things clean and organized and set up in the baby’s room and to spend plenty of time relaxing and enjoying the days where I can do nothing if I choose!

    Oh my goodness, I really need to write down my goals. I like that your goals are attainable, but something to reach for at the same time. Hmm, I think one of my goals will be to read (and finish) 4 books, and implement what I learn from them.

  15. Hmm, like yours, I think I would like to read at least some of the books I’ve got piling up on my books-to-read list. And have some “me” time, I think will be good, too.

    Have you tried thredup? It’s my favorite for selling and donating used clothing because they’ll donate whatever they won’t buy from you. >> http://www.thredup.com/r/QXHLAN

    Awesome goals and I think it sounds like your June went really well! I’d love to try a new restaurant a month, too–we tend to go to the same ones because we love to support them, but it’s a good idea to share the love! Also I am trying to up my reading goals, too… some months are just better than others.

    Hope you have a wonderful fourth and congrats on hitting up the gym that many times a week–that’s incredible!!

    Those are great goals! Good luck with the closet organization – I have been saying I would do that for months but I am a clothing hoarder…”I might need it for an audition!” is my constant excuse. You can do it though!

    LOL, that’s me too—keep adding it to the list and it’s bound to happen 😀 Reading is one of my favorite things! So far, I’ve read 40 fiction books this year, and 1 non-fic (cover to cover. I usually skip around in those.)

  27. One of my goals is to run more. It’s really hot here in KC, too, so it’s hard to get motivated!

    We lived in North Richland Hills for a while about 10 years ago. Rosa’s Tortilla Factory is my FAVORITE! We always make it a point to go when we go back to visit! 🙂

    I love seeing your goals and progress – five books is still great! My goals this month include growing my social media following, sending more cards to out of town friends, and getting some form of intentional movement every day! Thanks for the inspiration and good luck this month!

  35. Those goals sound great! You should check out the Crow Collection of Asian Art in Dallas. The museum is SO cool (and free!), and bonus: it’s right next to Klyde Warren Park, so it’s a great excuse to get some yummy food truck food. 🙂
