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 Millennial COMPLETED

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!

Are you saving for anything in particular? A new car? New Summer swim suit? Share with me in the comments!

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 

Result: Accomplished! Now we are saving for the excursions!

Blogging 

• Building Brand 

• Podcast Gear Research BY April 10th

• Read Vanity Fair Magazines BY April 30th

Result: Accomplished!

Did not do the Podcast Research tip the week of the 22nd, but I still got it done!

Hiking

• Hike the Claremont 5-Mile Loop BY April 19th

Result: Accomplished!

Pictures

Upload + Print 2016 Pictures BY April 21st

Result: Failed!

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.
