Goals for June

My Noom reading today was teaching about the importance of writing down goals and then telling someone about them. By writing these down, I will apparently have a 70% chance of reaching them compared to a 35% chance if I don’t write them down. Likewise, by telling someone my chance increases further.

So, I am writing my goals down here and telling you!

Weight Goals

I am five pounds off losing two stone, so my goal this month is to lose those five pounds.

Gym Goals

Last Month I increased my reps but decreased my weights. Yesterday, I worked with the same reps whilst increasing my weights to what they were in April and managed quite easily.

I don’t really want to change this at all this month. So, I’ll be continuing with three sets of twelve reps at the weights I was lifting in April .

My real goal here is to be able to do this without me feeling exhausted at the end of the month. At the end of April, I felt so tired I needed some time off. This time, I want to really listen to my body – for example, I know if I eat a bigger lunch on the days I go to the gym, I work out much more effectively.

Homemaking Goals

I want to finish going through the whole of Gary’s and my bedroom, washing all the walls and going through wardrobes and drawers.

Reading Goals

I seem to be reading books at about five books per month. I’d like to double this to ten by using my lunch break to sit and read rather than watching YouTube videos. I’d like the extra five books to be feeding me spiritually in some way, whether that be as a wife, a mother, a homemaker or a friend.

Writing Goals

I try to write for half an hour every day. I am currently writing a book to go along with the Unit Study I am curating on Mesopotamia. The book is designed to be read out each day over six weeks. I have completed almost four of the six weeks and am at around 40000 words.

My goal for June is to finish the four weeks and have a plan outlined for the fifth week.

I’d also like to continue journalling on this blog daily Monday to Friday and to try to write one post per week on my homeschool blog angelicscalliwags.com.

And finally, I’d like to be writing in my common place book as and when I have something to write.

Activity Goals

Currently I go to the gym three times a week and this seems a sensible amount to me, so I won’t be changing this.

I also walk for 40 minutes each morning. I’d like to add to this walk by walking at night time for about thirty minutes before I have my bath. This will mean I will have slightly more than 60 minutes of weight bearing exercise per day, will have the opportunity for fresh air before bed and it will give me an extra thirty minutes of listening to a book, thereby helping me to increase my reading.

I’d love to add a goal of doing some yoga but am really demotivated to do this because I think my walking and gym going is making me much less flexible so yoga hurts!! Maybe I’ll keep this for next month…

Homeschool Goals

My main homeschool goal is to help Becca to finish her booklet six for textiles. This is her jellyfish dress which is taking more skill than we first thought and is proving to be HARD! I want to split it into workable small segments so she feels less overwhelmed by it.

Abs will be taking three GCSEs next year, and I want to create a revision pack for each subject. So my goal this month is to get into a routine each day of working towards this, even if it is only for half an hour.

What are your goals for this month?
