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

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

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 🙂

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.

Those are great goals. We have a TV table that is very similar. I need to tackle it, as well.
