June Goals 2016


Last month I shared my goals for the month of May and I have to say that because I'd published them it really did make me try a lot harder to keep to them. You can read about how successful (& unsuccessful) I was here: http://whatsarahkatesays.blogspot.co.uk/ . So I have decided to continue the experiment into June as well.

Step on my fitness
Whilst I made a good start in May I really need to up my game from now. I have a holiday and friends wedding later this year that I'd like to be in better shape for.  More seriously I could be facing a surgical procedure later this year that will disrupt my fitness programme so I want to squeeze as much benefit out of the coming weeks as I can.




30 bags in 30 days
Cleaning was one of my May goals and one I had mixed success with. I've done some reflecting on why that would be and part of the reason is we have let the house fill up a bit too much...clutter creep I think you call it. So having watched a fabulous lady on You Tube undertake the "30 bags in 30 days" challenge in April, I have decided to attempt the same during June. I'd highly recommend you check out Sophia's journey on YouTube here - even if you don't struggle with clutter yourself (are you not human!?) it's a fascinating story to watch unfold across the month as she learns so much about herself through the process as well: https://www.youtube.com/mygreatchallenge

Re-organise the spare room
Our spare room is a room of many different purposes. It's a room for guests to sleep in, houses my wardrobe, it's where we dry laundry, where we stash the ironing board, storage for unused items and more recently a home gym! It is no wonder this room is a constant jumble and I have to declare "No more"! Coupled with my desire to declutter I hope to end June with a space that works for all our needs.


So there they are - my 3 goals for the next month let lose into the world! I will report back at the end of June with another progress report if you're at all curious to see how I get on.

Are you a goal setter? Fancy sharing yours for this year? Please comment below if you feel like it.

Sometimes the struggle of balancing a blog with "normal life" gets the better of us.  Motivation is there but physical energy is low.  I'm having one of those weeks.  I have all these ideas I want to share, but my mind is scattered to a million different places.  I fear I would not do them justice. So instead I decided to share with you one of the loves of my life...my fur baby Lucy: She is a 4 year old English Springer Spaniel and very cheeky. Things she loves most in the world are tennis balls, chewing and rolling in things we wish she would not. As a puppy she was a handful, but she has grown up to be the softest, most gentle dog in the world.   Even our friends who "hate dogs" find themselves falling for her doe eyes and cuddly manner. No matter how bad my day, coming home to her excited wiggly bum always brightens my mood.   I'd be lost without her now. Thank you to my Dad for taking these fantastic action

At the moment I am trying my hardest to re-establish my daily & weekly routines. Luckily these are routines I'd pretty much cracked before I recently  fell ill , so I am optimistic I will get back in the swing from now. Being forced to take a break from the routines has actually been an opportunity to start afresh and rethink a few things. Why have an evening routine? Well for me it helps set me up for the next day with the right attitude, gets stuff out of my head before bedtime so I sleep better and helps keep the next day a little less stressful. My Current Evening Routine: wash dishes and clean up kitchen counters sweep kitchen floor check menu plan and take out of freezer as required/slow cooker prep. pick out and layout clothes for the next day general house pick up, take stuff back upstairs, put away dry laundry, etc. update my planner and check next day plans put dishes away get ready for bed and relax You'll notice I concentrate main

July Goals 2016

Given my poor performance in June I have decided to only go for two goals this month. July should be a month of BBQs and beer gardens but in typical UK style the weather is interfering with that plan.  So instead I'm going to use this month as an opportunity to deep clean the house. Yes the whole house. "No way" I hear you cry but there are two motivational factors for me that guarantee I will do it... 1) I have a week off work and will be spending Monday to Friday mostly on my own, as boyfriend is working, so may as well apply myself usefully. 2) I have my too oldest friends coming to stay for the weekend soon.  I cannot let them witness the dog hairs rolling around the floors! So I'm feeling quite optimistic about achieving that one. I've been debating my second goal quite a lot. Swinging from a blog based one to a lifestyle one. The winner is...blog based. Since my May Goals , I have managed to consistently blog twice a week, except for one
