I’ll start by saying this is not the post I had planned for today. Not even in the slightest. But I switched things up last minute with good reason, that reason being I need some accountability in my life. Maybe you do too?
I’m sure you’ve heard before that verbalizing your goals or sharing them with a friend means you are more likely to achieve them. I know we’ve discussed the importance of putting yourself out there countless number of times around here and by this point, I might be teetering dangerously close to sounding like a broken record.
So, in an effort to get myself back on track, I’m letting you peek at the list I’ll be focusing on this week.
Goals for the week:
– Do something active everyday (walk, run, yoga, classes at Health House, something…anything. Just move.) Confession: those back-to-back classes I was supposed to take on Saturday morning? Ya, they didn’t happen. I could barely sit down from the class I took on Thursday! They say it will get easier and I’m hoping that a little extra stretching post class helps with the soreness.
– Head to a coffee shop or juice bar with my laptop in tow instead of planting myself at my desk all day (at home)
– Get back to using a face mask once/week
– Cook meals at home. Let’s just say, I’ve frequented just about every patio within a 20 mile radius over the past few weeks and even though it’s the perfect weather for it, I’ve got to get it in check
– Start watching the YouTube videos I have bookmarked on how to use my DSLR camera and if I can’t seem to figure it out on my own from there, enroll in a photography class at the Kansas City Art Institute. If you have any great tutorials, send them my way!
I’m also looking forward to my first mastermind call this week with an awesome group of gals! Doubling up on the accountability never hurt anyone.
WHAT’S ONE GOAL YOU ARE SETTING FOR YOURSELF THIS WEEK? SHARE WITH ME DOWN IN THE COMMENTS OR SHOOT ME A TWEET!
p/s how gorgeous is this sunset I snapped yesterday at my parent’s house? They have it made.
These are great goals and something you will accomplish! I believe you can do it!! I’ve been setting out my clothes/ packing my bag at night for the next day and that’s really helped me getting my butt going in the morning!
I bet so! Kick ass in the Soul class tonight and I’ll “see” you for our call later this evening 🙂
To get the hang of google analytics finally! Good luck with all of your goals, you can do it!

Love this post. I had a long commute into work today and was reflecting back to a podcast I listened to of The Lively Show about Accountability Partners and was thinking i need to talk to my friend and set accountability goals for this week. I’m keeping my list short and focusing on activity. I want to finally give the AM spin class at my gym a go (I have only ever tried the evening one) and I want to get in at least 10 miles in addition to my workout classes.
Those are two awesome (and attainable) goals! You can do it 🙂
Putting it out there is the best way to hold myself accountable too! Once I’m back in town next week I want to get back to working my way through my Pinterest recipe boards!
If I know people are watching me, or expecting me to follow up, I’m far more likely to actually do it! That sounds like a great plan 🙂
I need to work on my accountability at the gym lately, Ive just been so busy!!
Eleventh & Sixteenth
I learned that scheduling that time in as if it’s a work appointment or some other type of meeting helps me stick to it!
Confession- I made to do lists because I find SUCH satisfaction in checking things off! Great way to start the week off!

I’ve been great about moisturizing lately, but not so great at the mask, which really seems to help my acne prone skin!
Such great goals, and I know you’ll get them done! I seriously need to cook at home. I’ve been frequenting patios at restaurants too 🙂

With this weather, it’s hard not to!
My one goal this week is to make is sane to Wednesday and enjoy my looooong weekend. Great goals, I started mask Sunday on snapchat, you should join my haha! Although I missed yesterday and next Sunday I will be traveling back home.

Ooo, that sounds like something to be excited about! My face has been taking a beating lately, so I’m hoping the mask helps.
Shamless Maya on Youtube has lots of great photography videos!
Checking her out now! Thank you 🙂
Love your goals for the week! I would love to take a photography class. My current goal is just to get my shit together. I don’t know how that will happen, but I am trying!

Haha, I love that your goal is to get your shit together. You and me both, sista!

We can do it!
Just putting the goals out there will make you accountable. I think this week I really need to start getting my finances in check – a bit of a long term goal! x
Girl for Granted
Agreed! That’s what I’m hoping to do as well by eliminating some of the money that has been going toward those patio visits 😉 have a great week, Amy!
Those are amazing goals. Would love to find the time to do this all!

Great post! I am with you on goals #1 & #2! 🙂
I love your goals. I need to be better about writing them down and sticking to them. I’ve struggled with having accountability with specific things.
Jess! Let’s take a photog/camera class together! I’ve been dying to!
