Summer Goals, Revisited



back in june, i blogged a list of all of my goals for the summer.  since summer is coming to a close, i thought i'd revisit those goals and see how i did!  here goes....


by "community", i mean goals that i have for spending time with or doing things with or for other people…
travel!  day trips or long weekends…i want to get out of town this summer! // went to the beach, nyc, philly, nashville, boston...pretty good summer!

have good conversations…dig deep // spent some afternoons with friends grabbing coffee

go to a concert or two (starting with onerepublic at the end of this month!) // onerepublic for the win!  amazing show!

be an encourager // i hope i did this....though i know it's still something i'm working to develop!

go on a few fun dates with aj // one republic, jimmy fallon, a few dinner and mini golf dates

spend a lot of time with family // i didn't see my brother as much as i would have liked, but i spent a good deal of time with my parents!


my personal goals revolve around things i need to do for me

read…work my way through my stack of unread books  // i won't cross this off because i only kinda did it...i may have actually added books to the stack

take time each week to sit at a coffee shop and write/blog // it wasn't always in a coffee shop, but i did make intentional writing/blogging time this summer!

get into a better devotional routine // total fail.  ugh. 

knock a few diy projects off of my list // ugh again.  not really.

clean out and thin out my closet and room  // it's still a work in progress but i got rid of a few big bags of clothing!

save money like crazy  // maybe "like crazy" is a bad term...but i did do a fair amount of saving! 

circle some big goals/dreams in prayer and see where God takes them! // this was all about the peony project, and i'm super excited about where it's heading!

learn to rest and abide // why is it so hard to slow down??

have tech-free days  // not exactly.  i really need to schedule these.


i started setting some serious wellness goals for myself this spring, and i want to see those continue!
train for a half marathon (and run 13.1 by summer's end!)

eat better // nope.  fall?

adjust my mindset to stay inspired and motivated // this summer was a roller coaster.  i spent too much time disliking my body and feeling lazy and sluggish instead of inspired and motivated

workout at least 3x per week // didn't exactly happen.  oh well...i need the routine and schedule of fall!

go on lots of walks with aj // mission accomplished!

bike with my dad as he trains for his 150 mile ride this fall // we went on a few rides, but his health wasn't the best this summer

juice a lot // nope.  fall?

wear sunscreen regularly // i was so good at the beach this year!  i didn't get burnt at all!

did you make goals for your summer?  how did you do?

  3. You did scratch off a lot on your list, so you go lady! <3 I set a few goals, but sadly I did not follow through most. But I blame that on my pregnancy. [ best excuse ever, ha!]

  6. Ms. Betsy, I'm so glad you were able to knock at least SOME of your goals! But honestly that #dailyconsistentdevotionalstruggle is too real! I'll be praying for the both of us to get into awesome routines! Also, having tech-free days is something I want to do, but I have no idea where to start! Hope your day has been fantastic! :)

  7. You had a lot!! nice job...I post monthly goals and sometimes post reading goals, but I've never done an entire season. but i love posting them, it feels like accountability once you write it out for everyone to read! :)

  8. This is so awesome. I really need to sit down one day and make my goals! I know it has to feel good to go through and see what you have accomplished!

  9. hey girl! want to get on a devotional track together and work on that goal with some accountability? or reading books, or eating right, or exercising. per usual, our lists are kind of similar :)

  11. Hi I'm new :) just found you through grateful mondays :) i've just started putting some goals together for the fall - I've realized that time flies, and some how I don't get to things I thought I would! The two things I actually got to this summer were working out and juicing - and the only way I did it was together - I joined a 4x a week bootcamp (so I had some accountability) and juiced on the days I worked out - it was one of the first things I did when I got home! I need the routine & accountability for sure otherwise I just don't get to it - which is prob why on the days I don't work out I often forget to juice too!
