June has come and gone and now we are here in July. I really feel like I don’t remember much of June because it went by so fast! Don’t get me wrong I am excited for July because that means I am a little closer to my trip to Cancun and fall will be here soon (or so I hope). Now let’s see how I did with my June goals.
June Goals Revisited
Personal
-In addition to attending Barre classes, I want to work out 2’x’s a week at the gym// I have been continuing to attend my Barre classes however I have not been going to the gym consistently like I’ve wanted too.
-Finish reading Leave Your Mark// Nope. Didn’t finish it but I have read more of it. So I guess that partially counts.
-Save money for my vacation to Mexico// I have saved a little bit of money and I think that getting my passport renewed somewhat counts for saving money for the trip.
-Lose 5 lbs by August 7th// August 7th isn’t here yet, so this goal is still ongoing. I will say that with taking my Barre classes, I have lost several inches off my body. I see that as a win!
-Stop drinking sodas// I have significantly reduced my intake of drinking sodas. I have been drinking a ton of water!
Blog
-Do at least 1 beauty review// Failed at this! I seriously need to get on this again.
-Continue to grow my Twitter followers// Win! I have slowly been growing my Twitter followers. I feel that I need to up my game on Twitter though.
-Add a popular post on my sidebar// This has not happened yet.
So as you can see I did okay on my goals for June. I wish I would have been able to accomplish more but seeing that work has kept me busy, I have not been able to do much. I am hoping that July will be much better! Here are my goals for this month!
July Goals: Blog & Personal
Personal
-Attend Barre classes at least 2 x’s a week and work out 2 x’s a week.
-Continue reading Leave Your Mark & Me Before You
-Take a leap of faith with start a new business. I have done a lot of research on this business and everything seems so positive. I know that of course there are negatives that come with it but it’s something I really want to do.
-Attempt to be more positive at work. Y’all work has been sucking the life out of me again. I wake up in a great mood but the second I get to work…I become a negative Nancy. I am trying to hang in there for now. (Hence the reason I want to start a new business).
-Continue to save for my trip to Mexico.
-Eat healthier by eating more protein and vegetables.
-Lose 5 lbs by Aug 7th.
Blog
-Utilize social media more. I really want to post more on Instagram and Twitter.
-Start posting 3 x’s a week again. With things being crazy in my work life I am hoping I can start doing this again.
-Write some beauty reviews.
-Plan some posts ahead of time.
I really hope that this month I can do better at accomplishing my goals. June was a rough month for me but I am hoping July will be much better. What are some of your goals for this month? I’d love to hear them in the comments below.
Sounds like you are making progress in all your goal areas. Can in will be fun. Fall is my favorite season bring it on.
Candy I am trying to make some progress with my goals. Hoping to do better this month than last month. I am ready for fall. I love the cooler weather.
I hope you accomplish your goals for this month! Sometimes we can’t achieve quite as much as we hope, but as long as we’re headed in the right direction, it’s a good thing! 🙂
Thank You Rachel! I am hoping this month I will be able to do better with accomplishing my goals. I agree that if we are heading in the right direction with trying to accomplish things, that is always great!
Best of luck on the new goals and congrats on the old ones! I checked your sidebar to find you on Twitter but didn’t see a link – maybe add one there as well near Pinterest and Instagram?
Thank You Alexandra! I do not have Twitter added to my sidebar yet. I do need to add! My twitter handle is SweetTeaHblog.
I love goal posts! It reminds me of what I need to get done too haha thanks for sharing!

I love goal posts as well Rachel! I try to hold myself accountable as much as I can when I write my goals out. Good luck with accomplishing your goals this month!
Great goals! And good job holding yourself accountable (so important!). They have barre classes at the yoga gym I go to, but I’ve never been to one. Are they awesome?
Thank You Rebecca! I am trying to hold myself accountable as much as I can with my goals. I love my barre classes! They are tough but such an amazing work out. You should give it a try!
These are fabulous goals! Planning posts ahead of time helps me with my productivity big time. And yay for saving for a trip to Mexico! Here’s to a fantastic July!
Thank You Julie! I am trying really hard to plan my posts ahead of time again. It has been a struggle lately. I hope you have a fantastic July as well!
I read Me Before You last month and it was soooo good! You’ll love it 🙂 Good luck with your goals!
Rachel so far I am loving reading it! I really want to see the movie as well.
Good luck on your July goals! Summer gets so hectic, so I’m impressed you were able to accomplish so much in June!
Thank You Esther! June was so crazy for me. I really hope that July is a little less crazy and that I can accomplish my goals.
Tell me how you do with Twitter this month – I can’t seem to gravitate toward using it. There’s something about my tweet being pushed down in the feed so quickly that is deflating. LOL
Dana I honestly do not have a Twitter method. I just attempt to use it as the best I can. I was extremely late on the ban wagon of using it.Lol. For some bloggers it works so well! I am still trying to learn.
I really want to use much more social media it something that I really want to but just never do it! Good luck on your goals this month
Thank You Nicole! Sometimes utilizing social media takes a lot of time! I am trying to get better with using it.
These are fantastic goals. I wish you well in your adventure to meet them. Kick this months goals in the butt. Woo!
Thank You Chel! I am hoping to kick this months goals!!!
June is a crazy month for almost everyone. You didn’t do too bad 🙂 Congrats on cutting back on soda and working out! I actually tell my clients to take their measurements and not worry about the scale so much. It is so much more important!
Terryn I agree that June was crazy for a lot of us. I have been doing very well with not drinking as many sodas, which I am proud of. I still do drink my sweet tea here and there. I agree that losing inches at times is more important than losing actual pounds.
I feel like June was rough over here too. It still sounds like you accomplished a lot, and have some great stuff planned for July. Here’s to both of us doing great this month! 🙂
Shann June was just miserable. I know I should be thankful for a lot of things and try to be positive. I hope that I am able to get a lot accomplished this month! Yes here is to both of us having a great month!!! 🙂
Some great goals! Good luck on accomplishing them this month, Mistle! Some of my July goals include finally creating a media kit and starting up my Youtube channel again!
Thank You Amanda! I need to create a media kit too!! I hope you start up your Youtube channel again! If you do let me know!
great goals. super smart to write them down! i wish i had a barre gym close to me!

Thank You Kali! I love my barre classes, they are amazing!
Ah the barre classes! I really need to give them another try. They’re tough ones though!
Rachel I love my barre classes! They are so tough but well worth it!
Good luck with this month’s goals! I feel ya on the work thing. Hang in there. I’m going to be saving like crazy for the next few months so I can feel comfortable enough to quit my full time job.
xoxo, Jenny
I think work has been rough for a lot of bloggers lately. I hope it gets better for all of us! I too am looking to save a lot of money in the next few months in hopes that I will eventually be able to leave my job. Good luck to you this month too!
Work has been sucking the life out of me too! I hope it gets better for you! Good luck this month!!
Lexi I hope it gets better for both of us!!! And congrats on your engagement!!
You have some great goals! I’ve been dying to read Leave Your Mark! You’ll have to let me know how it is when you finish reading it this month!
Thank You Caroline. I am hoping that I do much better with accomplishing my goals this month than last. I am slowly getting through Leave Your Mark because I have not had enough time to read. I will let you know when I finish it!
Looks like you have a great month ahead! Good luck with everything and I can’t wait to check back to see how it went.
Thank You Rebecca!! I hope that July is a good month for me! 🙂
The soda drinking can be a difficult one! Good job on cutting back and drinking more water. I gave up soda a few years back and I don’t miss it.
Rachel it is difficult at times. I don’t really drink a lot of sodas but there are times when I do give in to my Dr.Pepper. I also have a weakness for sweet tea. Good for you for giving up sodas!!
Trying to stay positive at work — while difficult — is incredibly important. I like your July goals. I look forward to seeing some beauty posts on here this month. 🙂

Marette I really am trying to stay positive at work. It’s been difficult because things have been extremely crazy for the past month or so. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel. I am hoping to get some beauty posts on here soon!
I love reading other people’s goals! I’m definitely trying to be a more positive person. Today I’ve been in a funk but I’m really trying to turn it around!
Whitney I have been in a funk for awhile now when it comes to work. I am trying really hard to get out of it but it’s just not there 100%. Hopefully I’ll get there sooner or later. 🙂
Awesome goals! I know you will reach them all!
Thank You Chimee! I am hoping that I am able to accomplish them all this month!
You’ve been doing well with your goals! Good luck on your goals for July. 🙂
Thank You Crystal! I really hope that I can accomplish more this month!
Sounds like you’ve got some great goals for the month…and Mexico sounds like a pretty great reward!
Colleen I can not wait till my trip to Mexico. I wish it was here already. I hope that I am able to accomplish my goals this month.
Since I’m moving to another state/city, I will need to find a decent job… so that’s definitely at the top of my list. Then, making my new place awesome and a great place to call “home.” Next, focus more on going to farmers markets and such, rather than grocery stores. Finally, making my blog better and more updated.
Great goals to have Heather!
This is a great way to stay “plugged in” to your goals and not let the doldrums of life deter you from achieving your goals. Way cool! Thanks so much for sharing!
Thank You! Hopefully I will be able to accomplish my goals this month. I enjoy writing them down to help keep me accountable.
having goals is so important. I seriously need to start doing this.
I agree Kierra! Writing my goals helps keep me accountable.
Good Luck with your July Goals!!!!
Thank You Shasie!

Thank You Elizabeth. I like to post my goals to help keep me accountable.

I love reading your goals! It makes me want to accomplish mine! Best of luck.
Awww thanks Brittany! I hope that you are able to accomplish your goals for this! Best of luck to you as well!
I read Me Before You in June and I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a week after I finished. Really enjoyed the book and I still need to see the movie.
Michelle I have not finished the book yet but I love it so far! I need to read the next one after it! I also really want to see the movie!
Well done! And good luck with the next set …! Look forward to hearing all about it.
xJo
Thank You Jo-Anne! I am hoping that I am able to accomplish my July goals without any set backs.
haha I always tell myself I’m going to do a beauty/makeup post every month but I fail miserably!
Well hopefully you can get one completed soon Ashley.
