“Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.” – Jack Ma
May is here!!
I love this time of year! May + June are two of my favorite months and I am so excited to have my goals set, and make it a great month.
This goals post will be a little different because I want to share how last month’s goals went as well!

April Goal Results
Read 2 Books
- Abundance of Katherines
Broke MillennialCOMPLETED
Result: 1/2 accomplished!
I read only 1 book this month! With school coming to an end next month, I do intend to get back on track with my reading list!
What books have your been reading? Share with me in the comments!
Run
- Run a 10k Race BY April 21st
- Run up to 8 miles BY April 25th
Result: FAILED both!
The first week of April I had my mind set onto running more, but instead I got into Hiking! And when I wasn’t hiking, I was traveling. But I did a lot of hiking, HA!
I hiked at the Claremont 5 Mile Loop, Muir Woods, and the Manitou Incline. So I am not too mad that I didn’t accomplish this goal, because I filled it with other active activities.

Save Money
Animal Fund
NYC
Result: Accomplished both!
I was able to reach my financial goal saving amount for each one of these categories!

Vacations
- Vegas Hotel
Result: Failed / Put on hold
Unfortunately, I lost three sources of my income in the last week. Yup, THREE! Due to that, I have had to put a hold on spending and planning any more vacations. Our next trip is for sure in July, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to do this one.
Find Resort in Cancun

Pictures
Upload + Print 2016 Pictures BY April 21st

I put my extra change towards other things and did not print anymore pictures!
April Overview
Busy!
BUT filled with great new memories and experiences. I got to take a road trip with my man, and got to fly out to Denver to go hiking with my family!
Even though I lost some cash, HOPEFULLY that is a sign for me to take the opportunity to use that time to take my blog to the next level.

- 30-Day Active Challenge
- I found out about a 100-day challenge, but to start small, I wanted to do a 30-day challenge where I due an active activity each day. This won’t include my job as a dog walker! I won’t count my clients, however I would count one-on-one time with my dog and taking him for a walk.
