End of January Goal Updates!

Hey goal setters and goal trackers! How are your 2018 goals progressing?

Here's my end of the month update. Did great with some things, not so great with others. I feel like I'm definitely still finding getting my bearings this year. I'll get there!

Professional Development/Education
1. INELDA training - planning for May
2. Continue BS classes - Two classes going now, then one week of vacation, and then two at the last section of the term, and Summer 2018 JUST posted! I'll do 1 class in the first section of Summer and 2 in the third section - they'll have a four week overlap in the middle.
3. Pass all classes with minimum grade of B - working on it.
4. Find a job in my field - Haven't even thought about this.
a. Résumé by break between Spring 1 and Spring 4
b. Find options by end of Spring 4
c. Apply by end of Spring break

Running
1. Get back to running and training after hiatus for reconstruction - Yay rah!
2. Complete second half marathon - It's looking like the fall for this.

4. Navy Air Force half marathon in September (registered)
5. Baltimore 5k in October (registered)
6. MCM10K in October (not available for registration yet)

Fitness
1. Log at least 15 minutes of exercise OR 5000 steps EVERY SINGLE DAY - Finished January with 29/31. This week has been rough due to college trumping everything else.
2. Achieve crow pose in yoga practice - Still getting back into yoga, haven't thought about crow!
3. At least one fitness class a week for first quarter. At least two for second quarter. At least three for third quarter. At least four for fourth quarter. - So far so good this month :)

2. Body Composition Scan - I hope to do this around my birthday in March.

Self Care
1. Continue monthly massages - Yup!
2. Do one fun thing at least half the days of the month just for me - I managed 11 days this month.
3. Attend local WLS support group OR group therapy once a month - Jan was cancelled due to weather.

Cooking/Food

3. Blog all weekly meal plans - Blog is still MIA.
4. Continue Cookbook Club - Yes! Dinner #1 for the year was in January and delicious.

Relationships
1. See my mom once a month - So far so good.
2. One fun thing a week with Art aside from watching TV - Failing miserably at this one.
3. One fun thing a week with Lance aside from watching TV - Not quite as bad here, since Lance and I see movies together and did ParkRun once.
4. Friendships - Quality weekend time with friends at least once a month. - Achieved!
5. Friendships - Lunch date with a friend at least once a month. - Achieved!

I think you did awesome Gwen, I like your 3 goals under the "Make a Change" category.

I hope that once I get settled into a routine with classes, I'll be able to put some effort into them.

Way to go, Gwen!

Amazingly impressive Gwen!!!
