MIMM: Ready, set, [July] goals!


June went by so fast. I finished up my first year at the high school and I went to Austin. It was packed with MARVELOUS adventure.

I did manage to complete some of my June goals in the midst of all the fun.
  • Finish Mockingjay and read Drop Dead Healthy, which I also need to buy.
  • Study a chapter this month 'cause let's be real.
  • Catch up with Joy the Baker and Jillian Michaels' podcasts. I love Jillian's podcasts, her advice on yoga (she says Ashtanga is good but not Bikram), and her love of Green & Black chocolates - yum).
  • Sign up for a Tspoons class!
  • Try Ashtanga yoga.
  • Go hiking (in Austin).
  • Complete 4-5 of my Summer Bucket List items.
  • Go vintage/thrift shopping to dress more like Meg. Gosh, she dresses so well.
  • Do the Awesomesauce Arms workout every night from here on out. If no weights available, do body weight arm workouts.
This month I start my summer job and will be using my deal for Ra Yoga. Again, I will be doing tons of yoga like I did in May/June. I'm excited since I've been yoga-less for 2 weeks.

July goals
  • Be social. Get to know my new co-workers.
  • Try Ashtanga yoga. This should happen since Ra offers it.
  • Sign up for a Tspoons class. Still haven't done it yet. :(
  • Finish traffic school. Yeah, that's more of a to-do then a goal.
  • Complete 4-5 items on my Summer Bucket List.
  • Celebrate my 25th birthday. 'Cause I totally didn't celebrate my 24th. 
  • Eat more chocolate.
  • Read more books. I have 3 books on hand plus Mockingjay on audio.
Big goal for the year, which I have to remind myself of: take the CTEL in November! Those study guide questions are kind of hard.

Last night, I started watching a MARVELOUS show, "New Girl." I've been living under a rock. Zooey Deschanel has such great fashion on the show!
 

The actress plays such a fun character. She's a sing-songy teacher, and reminds me of this MARVELOUS picture:

  1. I'll be 25 this month also! I'm on the lookout for your first Ashtanga experience. I've always admired it, but it kind of scares me.

    1. Anytime anything scares me, I remind myself I've probably done something harder.

      Happy 25th this month!

    2. I LOVE Ashtanga yoga. I was scared to death at first, but there's nothing to be scared of. Just try to pay attention your first class and be prepared to be a sweaty mess at the end and sore the next day. I can't say it got much easier physically week to week, but it was much easier to follow along. Since it's always the same routine, after 2-3 practices, the only thing I didn't know was the chants. Also, tell the instructor beforehand if you are a beginner- mine offered lots of modifications. I had been practicing yoga for years, but I took up Ashtanga after ankle surgery that landed me immobile for 3 months (ugh!). That means, if my weak self can do it - anyone can do it!

  2. One of my goals this month (which it has been lately) is to apply to more jobs! :D And what a lovely post! I'm definitely liking Meg's outfits, they're so cute~~ :)And definitely being outdoors more often with beloved people in my life has been really inspiring.
