Keeping Up With...2019 Goals (March Recap)

March was another great month around here!  It was super busy though and April hasn't really slowed down much so I'm later than I would have liked to be writing this recap.  We finished two of our family goals this month, redoing our living room (although we still need a few final touches) and going on an awesome (minus the traffic) spring break trip to Florida.  I also made progress on just about all of my goals this month so I'm really happy with how the month went.  And I turned another year wiser and had a great week long celebration with the family on spring break.

The one thing that didn't go great this month was ending my streak of exercising everyday this year.  Zak was in the hospital overnight this month and when we got home (at about 4pm) on that Wednesday I had nothing left in me.  I couldn't even force myself to do 20 minutes of yoga.  So my streak ended that day.  I went back and forth what I should do and decided to keep going and keep counting and see how close to 365 days I can get the 20 minutes of exercise.  I think it's helping with my weight loss so I'm going to keep going and I guess now my goal is 364 days.

Here's how I did on my goals this month:

• Lose 50 pounds - I've lost 15 pounds so far this year!!  I'm super proud I made progress even though I took almost 2 weeks off from healthy eating.
