Another month has come and gone and now it’s time to share my February goals with all of you! January was a pretty busy month so I wasn’t as successful with my goals as I had planned to be but that’s okay. Now it’s a new month and I am ready to get stuff accomplished! Now onto my February goals.

Recap of January Goals:

1. Finalize wedding invite list and get addresses so we can send out our save the dates // I have finalized the list but we are still in the midst of collecting all the addresses. I anticipate getting them all this month so that we can send them out by March. I give myself half credit for this one.
2. Workout twice per week // Semi-success! I worked out at least twice a week most weeks but I need to continue doing it to form a habit.
3. Read two books // I read one of two books so I half completed this goal but hey better than nothing, right? That’s what we’re going to go with here.
4. Don’t procrastinate on my coursework // Success! I have been starting my papers earlier and not scrambling to get it done the day that its due.
5. Save money // Success! I purchased a new car at the very end of January but I was able to save a ton of money during the rest of the month and continue to add to my savings account.

So I successfully completed 2 of the 5 goals and then half completed the other three. It could be worse though so I am not complaining. The goals I didn’t quite complete this month will be transferred on over to February.

February Goals:

1. Continue saving as much money as I can // Although I’ll have all of my regular expenses + now a car payment to keep up with, I don’t want to do any extra unnecessary spending. Although I’d love to get my hands on some new spring arrivals, at this point I need to save for my car payments, loans, and house expenses that we will soon have.
2. Read one book // Because February is a shorter month, I am just going to set a goal of reading one book and hope that I can read more than that and exceed my goal.
3. Finish gathering everyone’s addresses and order save the dates // This month I am picking up with my January goal that I didn’t fully complete. My mom is working on getting me the list for my side of the family so I just need to get the rest of my friends + all of Michael’s guests addresses.
4. Continue not drinking soda // The last week of January I quit drinking soda so I want to stick with it this month because I am trying to lose a little weight.
5. Work out twice a week // This goal has been pretty attainable so far but I am not sure if I am ready to increase it to 3x a week yet.
6. Go wedding dress shopping // The big day is creeping up and I still haven’t been wedding dress shopping yet so I plan to do this at some point this month. Hopefully I will be able to find my perfect dress.
