It would be just fantastic if time could slow down just a smidge! The year is almost half over! I feel like I was just celebrating Thanksgiving! It’s time for my monthly goals. I have really loved doing this, and it’s something I hope to continue in years to come. I plan to have a post up this summer with a mid-year(ish) check in of my 2016 goals as well. But for now I will just list out my June goals and check in on what I did or didn’t accomplish in May.
In May I wanted to:
Read eight books. Let’s keep it going! I did read eight books! I have lots of reviews coming up!
Try a new workout. Bonus if it’s an in the water workout! This did not happen, but I did spend a lot of time at the gym.
Do something nice for a stranger. I held the door open for someone every single time I could and I bought two people their coffee.
Surprise Andrew with something. I surprised him with carrot cake (his favorite) one day. No reason, just really knew he loved it so I picked some up for him to have after dinner one night.
Keep flowers alive for more than 10 days. This is really wishful thinking. Guys the key to this is spider flowers. They are very low maintenance.
Cook something new to me. This might have been in April, but I made a new to me oatmeal cookie recipe!
Eat more veggies, less crap. Yes I did this for sure! Andrew started a vegetable garden this year and we have been enjoying bell peppers, squash, and zucchini. I also stuff my green smoothies full of veggies! We did go out to eat a few times this month but as far as crap goes I think I did pretty well.
Continue to focus more on needs, less wants. This was a good month for less wants. I got a few things that may seem like wants, but they were more like these shorts are ratty and I need new ones kind of purchases.
In June I want to:
Read eight books! Can I do this every month? Time will tell!
Spend more time with friends one-on-one
Surprise my dad with something for Father’s Day
Plan a trip for later in the year
Organize a few closets upstairs
Go to my gym’s barre class at least once or twice
Workout six times a week
Cook one new meal or bake one new thing
I would love to know what some of your June Goals are! Tell me below or leave a link to a post where you listed them! They are some of my favorite posts to read.
I cannot believe it is already June!! I love reading peoples goals. I am taking a break from making goals this month bc this month is just crazy for me! Good luck!!
I’m focusing on 3 goals this month as two are pretty major…one of those big ones is finally doing the work for an IG course I signed up for and really growing that platform.
Good luck with your June goals! I’m impressed you can read 8 books a month! Instead of doing monthly goals, I made a list of 16 things I want to accomplish in 2016 (http://adultingdaily.com/16-things-in-2016/) Hoping to stay on track in June!
I love this and I totally need to make a post about my goals as well! I find writing them down gets them down quicker than just storing in my brain! lol
I love your do something nice goal. I need to get back to regular workouts but summer is so hard with all the kids home. I do have some summer goals for the kids. 🙂 Involving chores and workbooks…they will love it…ha!
Great job on accomplishing most of your goals for last month. I wish I could read 8 books in a month. Honestly I don’t know when I would have time. Ugh. I also feel that this year has seriously flown by. Where has it gone? I need to reorganize my closets and do some more purging. I love barre classes. Such an amazing work out! Good luck with your goals this month! Can’t wait to see what you accomplish!
Wow! What an amazing accomplishment to read 8 books in one month and do it again the next month. I need to make reading more of a priority. A majority of my goals are blog based – increasing readers/social media followers/etc.
I LOVE reading posts about ‘goals’! I don’t know what it is about them, but they always get me excited about keeping mine. Eight books is a LOT. That is so impressive!! My goals are all over the place, but I think I’m most excited about spending more time with friends.
Great job on May’s Goals! You rocked them and I have no doubt that this month will be the same! I just want to finish reading the one book I’ve been trying to read. Work out at least three times a week and eat less sugary goodness!
Your June goals are inspiring me – especially your workout goals! I’ve been working out but it’s usually 4-5 mornings. Another one of my goals is to keep hydrated with lots and lots of water! I always do good a few days and then fall off track.
Oh wow, eight books! Go you!! I have a hard enough time trying to find time to read 1 book a month lol. One of my main goals this month is to use my sewing machine and learn how to sew a dress for myself.
I can’t wait to see all the books you are reading – I’m always looking for new ones. My two main goals for June is to workout 5 days a week and clean out my sons toys. We need to minimize!
I was working out six days a week but injured myself in October. After six months, I recovered long enough to get back into the habit and then had arthritis flare up that lasted a month. Now, I am finding it hard to work out four days a week. I’m already reaching for that goal.
When you said one of your goals was to surprise your dad with something for Father’s Day, that reminded me that I want to surprise him with something too! I’m 11 weeks pregnant today, so Father’s Day is when I’m telling him he’s gonna be a grandpop for Christmas. I can’t wait to see what his reaction will be!
Barre is a lot of fun. Have you done it before? It’s a great workout.
Lots of great ideas and inspiration here. Great list!
My goal for the month is to read more as well! I’m also working on planning some trips for this year and next year, too! Gret post, Neely!

Six workouts a week?! You go, girl. And I’m not sure where you find the time for 8 books a month but I think that’s fab! You can do it!
I like the idea of doing something nice for someone. I’m also mixing up my workouts this summer.

Sounds like you have your goals for June cut out for you! I wish I could read 8 books in one month and work out 6x a week! Maybe you can inspire me!!!
Oh wow, eight books! Go you!! I have a hard enough time trying to find time to read 1 book a month lol. One of my main goals this month is to use my sewing machine and learn how to sew a dress for myself.

Sounds like May was great for completing some goals!! I love your June goal, seems like fewer goals are easier to achieve.
I need to follow suit and add reading books to my summer goals as well! There are so many that I want to dig into!
I love barre and hate that my gym only offers one class when I am not at work =[ Great goals by the way. I am sure you’ll rock them.
xoxo, Jenny
Good luck with your goals! I’m working on eating more veggies as well!
Great goals. If I can just do the reading goal I would be happy. LOL.
I can’t wait to see all the books you are reading – I’m always looking for new ones. My two main goals for June is to workout 5 days a week and clean out my sons toys. We need to minimize!
Summer break starts tomorrow and I have nothing planned. Im seriously slacking this week. Better get some goals down first. I love your goals!
I love your goals and how they are all focused on different areas of your life. I would love to strive for 6 workouts a week!
I was working out six days a week but injured myself in October. After six months, I recovered long enough to get back into the habit and then had arthritis flare up that lasted a month. Now, I am finding it hard to work out four days a week. I’m already reaching for that goal.
I also love setting goals and see myself achieving. One of my goals is to loosen up some pounds and to engage in running.
8 books is fascinating! I really miss my reading marathons! You go, girl! 🙂
8 books? girl! You are cray!!!!!
I am bad with short term goals so I normally dont plan too much out on a monthly basis. I like to surprise myself lol.
When you said one of your goals was to surprise your dad with something for Father’s Day, that reminded me that I want to surprise him with something too! I’m 11 weeks pregnant today, so Father’s Day is when I’m telling him he’s gonna be a grandpop for Christmas. I can’t wait to see what his reaction will be!
Sounds like you’re kicking your goals!!! Yay you!!!!! Good luck with June’s goals 🙂 xoxo
Inspiring! I shall do this too 🙂 having a goals post is motivating.
Thank you for sharing and keep it up! More success this year
8 books is amazing!!!! You did awesome with your goals, lady!! And going to the gym 6 times per week… wow, you can do it!
