June Goal Check/ July Goals!

Last month I decided to finally get on the goal bandwagon, and I am so glad I did! I love having a goal to work towards. Things that I normally would let slide, I have actually worked hard at getting done! It feels so good to mark things off of the list!!
Here are the results from June...
 *quiet time every day- well, to keep up with this and the exercise I put check marks on my calendar. I only had two or three days without checkmarks.  I know these were days that we were gone or super busy! I was really happy and I can tell you I have felt much better making sure that I sit aside time for God every day.
*exercise at least 3 times a week!! WOOHOO!! I actually did this...from my check marks I exercised around 5-6 times a week! I can totally tell a difference!
*read 3 books- FAIL....not sure what is wrong, but I am having a hard time getting into reading. Back a few months ago I read like 6 books at a time. I am wondering if this did something crazy to my brain and now it just needs to rest!
*2 dates w/ hubs- Yes! We did this. 1 date was our anniversary and the other was dinner! We have got to get better at putting our marriage and each other first!
*1 day a week no technology! FAIL....I had actually forgot about this one. I am truly going to work at this during the month of July. I am hoping if I go ahead and set a specific day of the week aside for this it will work out better!
*get enrolled in college! YAY! This is finished...just waiting on a few more last minute things!

Overall I think I did pretty good for the month of June. Now on to my goals for July!
*exercise at least 3 times a week- I am going to keep this one on the list so that it will hold me accountable!
* read 2 books- I am going to try this again!!!
*2 dates w/hubs!!  I think this time we are going to do 1 at home date (just watch a movie at home), and then one go out date! I love date nights! It is such a great thing that I totally recommend for every married couple!
*1 special date w/just Jagger- I love getting to spend one on one time with my boys! When Hudson came home I really tried to make sure that Jagger didn't feel like he had been pushed to the back burner! I am going to try this month to take Jagger and do something just the two of us!
*have a family over for dinner- This is one that I am going to start doing all the time! I really want to teach my kids hospitality and plus we just enjoy being around other people. I would like to start having over a family for dinner and I would like it to be a family that we don't spend time with on a weekly/daily basis!
*stay under budget (eating out, etc)- The Cohn's are back to the budget! Boooo......and when I say budget I mean tight budget no budging! We are trying to get some things paid off and this is the only way we can really buckle down to get things done.
*HAVE FUN!!!   This is the last month I have before I become a working momma! I am going to enjoy every second with my kids!! We are going to have as much fun as possible!!
(I didn't add in quiet time this month because I want this to just happen, not be a goal. I know it needs to happen every day, so I am just going to do it!)
Well, there you have it..July Goals! I am ready to conquer the month!
Hope everyone has a blessed day!
Lots of love..

  4. Way to go for going back to school! I started back this month, and it has been an adjustment, but do-able, so far :) Way to go with all of your June goals, and your July goals look great. My budget is always on my list :) I have a horrible time with groceries. Good luck, and I can't wait to hear how you do this month!
