Happy February! Yes I know yesterday was the first day of February and I actually shared a post yesterday, but I was too focused on it being the first day of #LoveBlog2017 that I didn’t talk about the rest of what I have going on this month.
It’s going to be a busy one. On top of #LoveBlog2017, I’m also hosting a Super Bowl party (because the Falcons are gonna win!!), celebrating Valentine’s Day and Pearson’s birthday, seeing two touring Broadway shows, and setting a bunch of goals.
So without further adieu, lets get to those goals. Starting with a recap from January.
Table of Contents
January Recap:
Word of the Year:
I want more confidence in myself. At work, as a friend, as a lover, as a lovable person who brings value to people’s lives.
I want more confidence in God to take care of me and guide my life. To give me what I need to get through this life.
I want more confidence in Pearson. To love me like he promised. I want to trust that he’s telling the truth when he tells me he loves me and that I’m beautiful and a great person and fun to be around.
Spiritual:
- Attend Church every Sunday and Wednesday this month.
- Pray with Pearson before bed every night.
Physical:
Drink 80+ ounces of water every day.- Work through the Country Heat program again. I didn’t do it every day but I did pretty well.
Only eat out on weekends – and be conscious of what I eat then.
Mental (affiliate links):
Finish Talking as Fast as I Can by Lauren Graham.- Read A New Map for Relationships by Martin and Dorothie Hellman
- Read The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware – Replaced this one with
“Read A Dog’s Purpose by Bruce Cameron” - Read The Circle by Dave Eggers
Marriage:
Go on one intentional date per week and we can’t repeat any this whole month.
Blog:
Publish at least 2 posts per week.- Read through the instarevealed.com guides and start to step up my Instagram game.
Update my about page and my Amazon store.- I also updated my sitemap, contact/sponsor page, and store pages as well as updated the look of my tabs in general and truncated my blog posts.
Work:
- Take initiative and look for work when there isn’t anything instead of wasting time.
Home (I added this section after publishing my January goals):
Un-decorate for Christmas- Deep clean the kitchen
Keep up with the dishes
30×30 (I also added this section after publishing my January goals):
- Stick to our budget. We’ve been pretty terrible about that for the last few months (this is in the 30×30 list because several of my 30×30 items involve saving money).
- All my “physical” goals could also be in this category.
- My “mental” goals could also be here.
- Keep up with our German lessons on DuoLingo.
February:
Word of the Year (confidence):
- I want to gain confidence in my hosting abilities and gain pride in my home. We are hosting a Super Bowl party on Sunday for Pearson’s lab mates. #RiseUp #GoFalcons
Spiritual:
- Attend Church every Sunday and Wednesday this month.
- Read the books of Ruth and Esther. (Doesn’t have to be every day. Doesn’t have to be a devotional. I just want to read the books of Ruth and Esther this month).
Physical:
- Drink 80+ ounces of water every day.
- Do Country Heat as well as 21 Day Fix Extreme 4 days per week.
- Only eat out on weekends – and be conscious of what I eat then.

Marriage:

Blog:
- Write and schedule all my #LoveBlog2017 posts ahead of time (even if only a day ahead).
- Go through all my posts and put them on Stumble Upon. I think I stopped doing this back in October so there shouldn’t be too many posts to get through.
- Schedule all the pins I have on my private “To Be Scheduled” Pinterest board.
Work:
- Take initiative and look for work when there isn’t anything instead of wasting time.

- Deep clean the kitchen (before the Super Bowl party – I have 3 days)
