I can’t believe it. I actually have a monthly goals list ready to go on the first of the month! Hooray! I have been a few days behind lately, so I was determined to be on time for August. Before we see what my August plans are, let’s see how I did in July:
1.) Clean out my work closet: C+ I did half of this, but there is just so much to do I didn’t get to finish. It’s carrying over again for the third month. I’m determined!
2.) Finish boot camp strong with more muscle mass: A+ Yes! While I haven’t actually done my body fat test yet (I decided to wait and do it before we start our next round in a couple weeks) I KNOW I finished strong. I have more muscle in my legs and arms, and I weight less than I have in years. So gaining muscle AND losing weight is really all I can ask for. Happy with my progress.
3.) Get my eBook launched on time: A+ This was a big one, and I am happy to say everything went really well! With the help of some amazing people, I was able to launch my book on time and get the word out. It’s so much fun to wake up in the morning and check my book sales. You can check it out for yourself here.
4.) Read my Bible every day: A- I read my Bible almost every day, except Saturday. Saturdays are just hard for me for some reason. I guess because I am not in my normal work week routine?

August is going to be another crazy month around here for some reasons I am hoping I can share with you very soon, but I just can’t quite share yet. Because of that, I can’t share every single monthly goal I have, so my blog list will be a little shorter. Trust me when I say I’m bursting at the seems to share and will do so as soon as I can! Also remember, I will share my news first with my email subscriber VIP list. You can sign up for that here, as well as get free printables to help you track your monthly goals and fitness progress.
August Goals:
1.) Finish that darn upstairs closet: Carryover from the past two (sigh) months.
2.) Stick to my training schedule: I mentioned last week that I started training for fall and winter races. I will be honest and say the thought of running a half marathon right now is daunting because it’s just so hot, but I know I have to start training now in order to be ready in October/November/December. This is making it hard for me to want to get out and run and follow a training plan, but I really need to in order to stay on track.
QOTD: What is a goal you have for August? Did you meet your July goals?
Erin @ Her Heartland Soul says
Ugh, my biggest goal for August is organize. My house, my blog, my life! haha
Heather says
That’s a good one!
Ash Diamond says
Good luck achieving your goals and congratulations on making great progress on your strength and weight goals this month!
Heather says
Thanks friend!
Ashby says
I am really looking forward to the fall races I have lined up….but NOT looking forward to training for them in the heat! Grew up in Alabama and living in Kentucky now – cannot seem to get away from the Southern heat and humidity!
Heather says
haha I feel your pain!
Lindsay says
I love that tank! 🙂
Hey we went to OL yesterday when the rain cancelled pool plans, and while it was delish as always, I was wondering why no high chairs??
Heather says
When we bought the store last year there were none. Most babies that can sit up can sit on the couch (typically what I have seen) or are brought in inside a stroller. I honestly have never had anyone ask that!
Heather says
But it’s a very valid question (sorry hit send too soon) and I will look into it
Lindsay says
No biggee! I probably wouldn’t have even thought about it, but we’ve taken her to Menchies a couple of times and they have them. I just held her in my lap (for some reason to her couch=playground lol), but usually her dad and I both like to give her bites so having her between us is easier. Thanks!
Mindy (Road Runner Girl) says
Congrats on all your goals last month! Girl! I am so not ready to start training again! It’s just so hot!!!!
