Every month I seem to say the same thing, is it really this month already? This year is just flying by! I feel there are so many things I still need to get done before this year is over with. Today, IÂ am going to share a recap of my May goals and then my goals for this month. Let’s see how I did last month.
May Goals Revisited:
Personal:
-Get the hotel booked for my 30th birthday celebration// I got this completed and had a great time while in Austin last weekend with the girls.
-Continue to attend Barre Classes// I have done well with attending my Barre classes so far.
-Relax more// I did this somewhat last month but still need some more time to relax. I would love a week of just doing nothing.
-Finish reading Leave Your Mark// This did not happen unfortunately. I did read some more of it but did not finish it.
-Find new meals to cook// I found two new meals to cook but have not cooked them yet.
Blog:
-Do at least one collaboration with another blogger// This still has not happened. I was supposed to do a group collaboration and nothing happened. I guess I should take this off my goals and maybe one month it will eventually happen.
-Get together a giveaway for my birthday this month// This did not happen either. May was was too busy for me. I did however participate in a giveaway.
-Do beauty reviews/product reviews// This happened! Yah!!! Though I only did one review, I was happy I finally did one. To check out my review click here.
-Grow my Twitter followers now that I am finally on Twitter// I accomplish this! I don’t have a lot of Twitter followers but hey it’s a start.
June Goals: Blog & Personal
Personal
-In addition to attending Barre classes, I want to work out 2’x’s a week at the gym.
-Finish reading Leave Your Mark. I know I can do this!

Blog

I’ve decided to keep it simple for my goals this month. I have been extremely busy with work lately, so I want to be able to accomplish my goals this month. What are some of your goals for this month?
Exciting! It’s my 30th this year too! Have an amazing birthday!
Renee my 30th was great! I hope that your 30th is just as good!
I love reading goal posts! I think you’re doing an excellent job, and no victory is too small! Keep it up!
Thank You Emily! I also love reading other goal posts. It’s always great to be able to see what other bloggers accomplish or are working towards. 🙂
Thank you for sharing your June goals with us. I need to work on keeping up with my goals.
Good luck with your goals this month Glenda!
Loving your goals! I tried Pure Barre a couple years ago – WHAT a workout! Haven’t been back since but I think I want to give it another try!
Thank You Rachel! Barre classes are intense but such an amazing workout! I have done about 10 classes now and I can tell the difference it has made in my body. Don’t get me wrong, there are times when I am in my classes and am like why?! But I feel amazing afterwards.
Fabulous goals!
I really want to start a barre class. I do Pilates and hit the gym, but I used to dance so the barre calls to me. Strongly recommended?
Thank You Laura! Barre classes are a lot of fun and very intense (in a good way though). I have never done pilates but the place I do my barre classes overs it. So I really want to check it out soon. I also used to dance, so I figured why not try out barre classes. You should def look into them!
Great job on the goals you got accomplished last month! I too am trying to keep my June goals simple and realistic with how busy I’ve been. Best of luck!
Thank You Amanda! Sometimes having simple goals is a good thing. Good luck with your goals as well this month.
Good luck with your goals this month, Mistle! You can do it. I want to buckle down on my diet and working out this month too since my wedding is now 5 months out and I’d like to lose a few pounds before the big day.
xoxo, Jenny
Jenny we both got this with working out more! We can do this!!! Good luck with your goals this month as well.
One of my goals should be to remain consistent with working out, but I can’t seem to commit due to the time and my boyfriend and I influence each other not to go to the gym LOL. We cancelled the gym membership because it was a waste of money and now it’s literally 110 degrees in the desert so we can’t work out outdoors, so we have to work out indoors which we don’t do :-O xx Adaleta Avdic
Adaleta sticking to a consistent work out schedule is not easy! I really have been trying to get better at it because I really want to lose weight. I like to mix my work outs up a bit. It is also way too hot here to work out in the heat. If I do work out, outside it is late in the evening when it cools off a little.
So proud of you, girl, especially for keeping up with your fitness goals! Very inspirational.
Thank You Lindsay! I am really trying to stick to my fitness goals. I keep telling myself that that trip to Mexico will be here soon and I’d like to look a lot better than last year. 🙂
Love that you have goals. So specific and precise 🙂 success is always step by step! you will achieve your goals once you have aimed to achieve them! Hugs!
Thank You! I try to set goals every month for myself to accomplish. It’s always nice when I am able to accomplish something that I have set out to complete.
These are awesome goals! I would love to know more about what steps you’re taking to lose that five lbs and to save money for your trip-those are two things that I struggle with!

Thank You! As far as losing 5 lbs (I am hoping that I am able to accomplish this), I have been working out at least 3 x’s a week, eating as healthy as I can and drinking a lot of water. My weight is a constant yo-yo. Sometimes I lose and sometimes I gain. For saving money I really have cut back on spending less on things I truly do not need. It’s not easy but it can be done. 🙂
I would love a week of doing nothing too! It feels so needed. I had collaboration as one of my blog goals for awhile but it never seemed to happen – now finally this month I have a guest post exchange happening – so I’m sure you’ll get there eventually!
Becky I seriously would love a whole week of doing absolutely nothing. I have had several attempts to do collaborations with other bloggers but things always seemed to fall through. It happens. Hopefully soon I will be able to do one with some bloggers.
Good luck reaching your goals! I’ve found that publishing them on my blog has helped me stick to them. I’m trying to work out at least 2x a week as well!
Thank You Whitney! I am hoping to accomplish a lot of my goals this month. You def got the working out 2 x’s a week! Good luck with your goals as well this month!
I had some hits and misses myself last month. I hope you crush your goals this month. I am also trying to loose 5 pounds by my birthday July 9th (and hopefully more after that). The biggest thing I can say it ditch the soda for sure for so many reasons. Good luck lady. 🙂
Dia it happens! Life gets in the way sometimes and I will admit that I do not always accomplish my goals. But I look at it this way, if I accomplished some of them, that’s great! Good luck with losing 5 lbs before your bday! I’m sure you got that! I have been drinking a lot of water lately and barley any soda at all. So that’s one step in the right direction. 🙂
It’s nice that you set goals for yourself, yet you seem to give yourself a little grace if it doesn’t get accomplished right away. I need to begin making monthly goals to at least remind me to work on them!
Joscelyn I do give myself a little bit of grace when it comes to accomplishing my goals. I know sometimes that life gets in the way and not everything can be accomplished but I try my best. 🙂
So many goals! I am trying to save money for a honeymoon and it’s actually going pretty well.
Xx,

Amanda that is awesome that your saving money for your honeymoon! I hope it continues to go well for you!
I love goals posts! I really need to start doing them on my own blog – I always say that I will…and then don’t do it. Good luck on your June goals!
I love goal posts as well Heather! I would love to see what your goals look like if you do them on your blog. 🙂
Good luck with all your June Goals, wishing you a wonderful month.
Thank You Wendy! I am hoping I have a great month with accomplishing my goals.
That’s a pretty long list! I feel like if you do at least one thing in each category you’ll be pretty happy with yourself!
Colleen that is actually a very small list from what I normally do. 🙂 I am hoping to accomplish as much as I can this month.
I’ve just got my set of goals for June organised too.
I wish I had seen last month’s post – I would have loved to collaborate with you. 🙂
Good luck in achieving what you want this busy month!
Christie’s Take on Life. xx
That’s awesome Christie! I will have to go check out your goals! Maybe we can collaborate in the future. 🙂
Awesome goals! Sofas are my weakness so I really need to add that one!
Thank You Chimee!
Good luck on achieving your goals for the month! I want to continue working out myself, which includes spin class and doing the Memorial Park 3-mile loop.
Thank You Heather! I have heard great things about spin classes but have never actually taken one myself. Good luck with the Memorial Park 3-mile loop!
I need to finish 2 books!! The summer is the best time for me to read since I work full time! Hope you can accomplish some of your girls girly!!
Brittany I really wish I had more time to read! I’m trying to make more time. 🙂
Great goals! Don’t be too hard on yourself. Taking a week off is a great goal or even half a week. I don’t work on Mondays or Fridays as far as blogging, and this helps me to relax more.
Thank You Latonya! I do feel that sometimes you have to take a little time to yourself and relax. It’s needed at times.
Good Luck with the goals!! You’re the second blogger I’ve read that does this !I want to create a goals list too!
Shasie you should def create a goal list! It’s always fun to see what you accomplish at the end of every month. 🙂
this post really motivates me to get going with a “To Do” list – thank you! 🙂
xJo
I’m glad it has motivated you to create a “To-Do” list Jo-Anne. 🙂
Thanks for sharing your goals Mistle! You have a well rounded list, that is so important! I am rolling out a new online fitness and nutrition platform on my website and am looking for sample results from a small group of ladies, I would love to work with you, hit me up if you’re interested! [email protected]
Thank You Alli! I am hoping that I can accomplish some of my goals this month. 🙂 I would love to hear more about your platform. I will be emailing you shortly. 🙂
When things get busy I always find it beneficial to narrow my goals and make ones that are easier to accomplish. That way I still feel like I’m accomplishing things but without the added stress. You’re doing a great job!
Michelle that is a great way to look at it! Sometimes having goals that are simple are better than having all that added stress, like you said.
Happy belated birthday!!! I adore barre classes – they are such a great full-body workout! I recently started trying to make small changes to my lifestyle and am noticing how much more they stick when I kept it on the simpler side – I think I just didn’t get overwhelmed by all the changes! Wishing you all the best this month on your goals!
Thank You Emily! Barre classes are a great full body work out. I’ve been to about 10 classes now and I can already tell the difference it has made in my body. That’s awesome that you have started to make small changes to your life style. Hey sometimes simple is way better then complicated. 🙂
Love your lists! They seem attainable yet they’re great goals! Good luck. As for the birthday giveaway goal, there’s always next year 🙂
Thank You Wendy! I agree there is always next year for a birthday giveaway. 🙂
Good luck on completing your goals this month. I do like how you kept it simple sometimes we need to simplify to get things done!
Thank You Val! I found that in the past when I tried overloading myself with goals, it became too much. So I like to keep it as simple as possible.
I need to start making my own goal posts to keep myself on track! I love reading the end of the month ones too where you get to see if they did everything they said they were going to do!
Ashley goal posts are always a great way to keep yourself accountable for whatever you would like to get accomplished. I try my hardest to accomplish what I say I am going to do. Though sometimes it doesn’t always go as planned. 🙂
i love these goals! You can do it. I think they are reasonable goals that you can stick to!
Thank You Sara! I am hoping to accomplish most of my goals this month. 🙂
Goal post are great and are a reminder to keep striving towards my own personal goal. Thanks for the motivation!
Tameka I am glad that these are a reminder to strive towards your personal goals. Good luck with accomplishing your goals!
