Goal Check In: August 2018

How is it September already?! I can't believe how quick this year is going by. It feels like I blinked and summer just disappeared before my eyes. I can't complain though, because this summer contained lots of fun trips and I am ready for a little less travel and a little more routine this fall. Below are my goal updates for August! 

DAILY

• Drink eight glasses of water a day 
• Journal everyday
• Keeping up with both of these daily goals! 

WEEKLY

• Workout four days a week
• Aside from not working out while I was on vacation I've kept up with four+ days a week of working out! 
• I also started doing P.volve workouts this month and am going to keep doing it for another month or two to see how I like it. 
• Cook a new meal once a week
• We still cook all our week day meals at home, but I haven't tried any new recipes. 
• Work from a coffee shop one day a week
• Finally made it out! I worked from my favorite coffee shop in Houston, Boomtown Coffee. 
• No TV or Social Media one day a week
• Well I completely disconnected for a day while on my cruise! Granted I didn't have service but I am voting it still counts! 

MONTHLY

• Read two books a month
• The Life-Changing magic of Tidying Up: The Japanese Art of Decluttering and Organizing by Marie Condo 
• The Knockoff by Lucy Sykes  
• Behind Closed Doors by B.A. Paris 
• The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena 
• Try a new restaurant
• Houston
• Present Company: Met up with Grecia for happy hour and this place is an Instagram dream! There are fun wallpapers, neon signs, and pretty decor around every corner. I enjoyed my drinks, but thought that the food was fine for bar food. 
• Gelazzi: Yum! I had the blueberry gelato and it was delicious!  
• Oishii: I'd heard a lot of people rave about this place and maybe I just didn't order the right thing because my food was just ok.  
• La Fisheria: Tried this place for Restaurant Weeks and was let down. My margarita was terrible and the food was mediocre at best. 
• Maison Pucha: Wow, this place was amazing! We went for Grecia's birthday dinner and everything I tasted was delicious! This was another restaurant where we did the Restaurant Weeks menu and we were delighted.
