10 Marvelous March Goals



I know that February is usually considered the most depressing month but for some reason March always kicks my butt, especially in the fitness/healthy eating department.  It seems like each year I fall apart in March, give up on making it through the winter.  I think it's because  in this part of the world winter is still often going strong and we usually end up with one more dump of snow and one last cold snap. I also think as a teacher March is a hard month.  Report cards, report cards, report cards.   This year the winter has  been relatively mild so I don't feel like it's dragged on and I don't' have report cards to write (though work is pretty crazy busy in March),but regardless I compiled a list of goals and things to focus on to make it through March and into spring. 

 

1.  Fitness:  Clock 80 km of running and take in one exersice class a week (spin, yoga, bootcamp).

2.  Get my hair done.  I cheated and just got my hair done this past weekend.  It wasn't exactly as I wanted it but it's way healthier than prior to going to the salon.

3.  Get spring nails!  Usually I get a design on my nails but this color was so pretty that I felt that it didn't really need anything more. 


4.  Splurge on a new spring lipstick shade.  (well not really splurge, but trade in all my empties at the MAC counter and get a new shade for FREE!)


5.  Find one new gluten free reciepe to try out each week.


6.  Host a dinner party or a game night.


7.  Bring out my spring/summer clothing wardrobe out of storage and integrate into current my current winter wardrobe.


8.  Make time to read each day. I'd love to get through a book in less then three weeks.  I love reading but it seems like days just pass by way too quickly.


9.  Find a new hike to do with my husband. 


10.  Start a spring art/home project.  I am thinking cleaning up my shoe shelf, getting our 2016 family photo books done, or finally getting a photo wall up in our entry way.  Check out our spring wreath project from last year HERE. 


 

What do you do to pick yourself up when you are feeling down?

    1. Today seems like a great day to bring out the spring stuff as the sun is shinning and it's gorgeous outside but on the other hand I think we might utilize the nice weather and maybe do the hike.

  2. Your hair looks great! I really need to get mine cut, it's looking more than a little rough around the edges.

    A pick me up for when I'm down? Usually depends why I'm down. Sometimes just getting fresh air does the trick. Sometimes I treat myself to a fancy coffee or some alone time.

    1. Jessie, I too find solace in getting outdoors and taking in some fresh air, especially if the sun is also shinning. Thanks for stopping by.

  3. your hair looks fantastic!
    i don't find february depressing but i know a lot of people do. it's my birthday month though, and i spent the first 25 years having a summer birthday. winter in general depresses me. march starts to look up here at least.
    when i'm feeling down spending time outside, reading a book or having a bath always seem to pick me up.
