This month my goals are going to focus mostly on SURVIVAL. Next to the holiday season, spring is extremely busy for me. School goes to the very end of June and work is absolutely nuts with all the good things of year end, along with spring sports for the girls, and I usually have some kind of physical fitness kick off for myself. Also, photography explodes and by the end of June I am barely upright. I love it all but it's tiring. So with that in mind, I am planning to give myself grace in letting up on some of my goals such as keeping up with all the cleaning, reading daily, date nights, gratitude journal, because they will be replaced by some other great things. So lets dive in!
PERSONAL
*Splurge on a cleaner once in May and June. I know June will feel insane so I need to commit to spending the money to help me stay sane. I will need the help!
*Splurge on fake eyelashes every three weeks, and nails once a month.
*Hair appointment including a cut and color.
*Try to listen to one audiobook/month and read two books (finish The Dimond Eye and read whatever book is choosen for book club). Also, finish reading the journal articles on ADHD.
*Go to dr. and explore adult ADHD.
*Enroll in dog agility with Oreo again this year.
PHYSICAL
* Complete my first Duathlon on Mothers Day. This duathlon was supposed to happen in fall 2024 but was cancelled due to an extreme wind storm so my girlfriend and I are slated to do it this spring. It's a sprint distance which is 5km run, 20 km bike, 3 km run.
* Train and follow this training schedule, taking into account the week and a half that I will have to miss while in Europe.

The weather is finally turning nice and there is no snow in the forecast for the foreseeable future. That means that this past weekend I packed away my winter-ish clothing and began bringing some of my spring staples back into my wardrobe. As I unpacked my clothing I decided to look back at some outfits that I want to re-ware over the next couple of weeks with what's in my closet. I am not shopping until Europe so I have to stick with what I have.
What are some of your goals and plans for spring?
