Is it June already? It’s amazing how fast time is flying by! The weather is nice and warm, which means more time playing outside!
I got myself a Fitbit Flex on Tuesday! (Affiliate link) I saved up some money and got it for myself as a birthday present. So far, I really like it! I synced it with my MyFitnessPal account so my food tracking is sent to my Fitbit, which will then tell MyFitnessPal that I earned more calories for the day from the extra walking I did. It also tracks my sleep, which basically tells me if I woke up/moved around at all during the night. I haven’t motivated myself yet to work up to 10,000 steps a day, but I think that’ll come soon!
So how did I do on my goals last week?
Get my sewing machine set up: Nope, didn’t happen! I think I’ll stop trying to work on this for now until I get more motivated again/find more time.
Clean off/organize TV stand in our bedroom: Mostly done! The pile on the left was horrible. It was covered with coupon inserts, greeting cards, and all my blogging calendars/notebooks. Allison kept getting into it and making a mess, so I thought it was time to clean a little. I cut all the coupons, threw away trash, and dusted/cleaned the middle area that has my Playstation 2 and DVD player. It still looks cluttered in there with all the cords, but there’s not much I can do about that, unfortunately.
Link up to at least 2 blog parties a day: This was mostly done! Some days I got 2, others I got maybe 3. It’s a great way to increase your blog hits! To keep track of when these parties go live, I use Google Calendar to create a recurring event. I put “Blog Party” in the title and in the “Where”, I put the URL. This really helps me keep track and remember to post my links as soon as possible!
Goals for this week
Clean the inside of the kitchen cupboards: I almost don’t want to take pictures of them. They’re so gross to me. The bottom cabinets are especially bad, so I need to empty them all out and give them a good scrub. I’m going to feel so much better once that’s done!
Drink more water: I haven’t been drinking enough, so I definitely need to keep track again.
What are YOUR goals for this week? Share with us below!

Its so wonderful to make goals, I myself am forever making lists, goals and to-dos, it helps keep up motivation 🙂 I hope you accomplish them all! Cleaning is never fun haha
Jaime says
Thanks! It’s still so hard to follow through with my goals, even with writing them down. I still need to find something that always works!

I love my Fitbit. It had stopped working for a few weeks and I really noticed how my exercise dropped off. It is a great motivating tool
Jaime says
Cool! I’m happy to see that it really helps motivate.

Jaime says
Thanks! So far I’m really liking mine. It’s interesting to see how it tracks my sleep.

I am SO glad to see I am not the only one who loves to set goals! I am such an advocate of goal setting and especially written ones. I have seen it myself that nothing really gets done on time if not sticking to the written goals. Good luck and keep us updated 🙂
Jaime says
Thank you! It does help keep me at least somewhat motivated. =)

I love my Fitbit. It’s hanging off the laptop right now as it charges. It keeps me motivated when the scale isn’t showing a change in fat and muscle.
Star Traci says
Those are great goals. We have a TV table that is very similar. I need to tackle it, as well.
