  1. May Goals

    45

    May 3, 2013 by Katie

    So I’m a couple days behind on this one, but you all can forgive me, right? Since it’s the beginning of a new month it’s time to take a look at how I did on my goals for last month and then make some new ones for May! Warning: May goals aren’t too thrilling… I’ve got a crazy busy month coming up so I’m trying to keep it simple!

    Here’s a recap of my goals from April:

    1. Run outside at least once a week. Hmmm. Didn’t do awesome at this since I’ve been injured, but I actually think I ran outside almost every week, especially since I had the 5K on Sunday, my run with Emily and Kelsey, and I ran 1.5 miles outside the day after Boston. So like 3 out of 4? Sounds good to me.

    2. Follow Jamie’s Intuitive Eating Challenge EVERY DAY…


  2. April Goals!

    46

    April 2, 2013 by Katie

    Before I get started today I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all of your supportive comments on yesterday’s post! I always get a little nervous posting things so personal, but I know many readers benefit from being able to relate to my story, so I’m glad I got such a good reaction! Thank you for being great readers!

    Time just needs to stop. Seriously. APRIL!? I graduate in like… 7 weeks? Freaking out. Deep breaths. Not about graduating, but all the work I have to do in between. Oh and guess what starts the DAY AFTER graduation? My Bar review class. Fantastic, right? Glad I didn’t try to plan a post-graduation trip…

    Haha okay, rant over. Since it’s the start of a new month that means I’m going to review my goals from March and make some new ones for April! For those of you who are new to the blog, I usually do this each month as just a way to reassess things, take a step back and look at what I’m doing. They aren’t hard-set rules, just things I’d like to accomplish.

    First, let’s take a look at how I did in March:


  3. March Goals

    52

    March 1, 2013 by Katie

    It’s MARCH!!! Can you believe it?! I can! I’m so excited for this month, I’ve got lots of fun things coming up. Obviously, we have book club this weekend which is one of my favorite things ever. I’m also running a trail 5K, going home for a few days, then off to Colorado for the rest of of my spring break, and once the month is over I am officially 1.5 months from graduating law school!!!!

    Seeing as it’s the beginning of a new month, it’s time to go over February’s goals and then tell you all my goals for March. Just a reminder, these aren’t hard-set hit or miss goals. Just things that I hope to think about and work on, along with many other parts of my life. I just think it’s helpful to write things down every once and a while, and re-evaluate things that I’m doing (or not doing).

    First, here’s a look at how I did with February’s Goals:

    1. Follow May Cause Miracles every day. Um yea… if you read my “Not Perfect” post closely, you’d know I fell off the bandwagon on Day 16. I really found the book helpful during week 1 but for some reason couldn’t get week 2 to connect. I still really think this book will be beneficial for me so I hope to get back…


  4. February Goals

    February 3, 2013 by Katie

    Ciao!

    Guess where I am?

    Nope, not Minneapolis, I just stopped there on my way to Kansas City! I’m home for a few days and looking forward to it. Feels like I only just left! Oh wait…

    Anyhoo, for those of you who’ve been reading for a while you know that every month I do a goals post for that month. I didn’t do one specifically for January since I did 2013 goals, so we don’t really have anything to recap, but I figured I should start back up the tradition and share with you my goals for this month.

    I considered not doing it at all, but after the survey you all took I thought I’d do the post since it let’s you in a little more on my personal life.


  5. 100 Dreams + WINNER!

    39

    January 8, 2013 by Katie

    Happy Tuesday! I hope you all had a good start to your week! My day yesterday was… pretty lazy. Haha, after a full Sunday I wanted to take a day to relax and it was pretty nice!

    First off, let’s announce the Chef Earl’s giveaway winner!

    … CHRISTINA!

    Send me an e-mail, Christina, and we’ll get your Chef Earl’s products out to you asap!

    A couple months ago Caitlin wrote a post about writing a list of 100 dreams, inspired by a book she’s reading called 168 Hours: You Have More Time Than You Think by Laura Vanderkam. I read the post just after my 25th birthday, and it got me thinking about dreams in life and I decided to write out my list of 100 dreams.


  6. Goals for 2013

    41

    January 4, 2013 by Katie

    Hey everyone! I hope you’ve all had a good (and shorter!) week and a good start to the New Year! Don’t forget, you have until 11pm on Jan 7th to enter my Chef Earl’s Giveaway! I know I’m a few days behind on this, but I’m a little attached to WIAW and Thursday Thoughts, so I pushed back this post until today!

    I’m not a huge fan of new years resolutions, just because I don’t think people should wait until January 1st to reevaluate and make changes in their life. However, I’m all for goals and having things to work for, so today I’m going to re-cap the goals I made at this time last year, and make a few more for 2013.

    Re-Cap of Goals from 2012:

    1. Practice Intuitive Eating. I think this is something that I, and most people, will need to work on for most of our lives. I came clean about my issues with binge/emotional eating this summer, but it’s still something I struggle with. I’ve improved immensely…


  7. December Goals

    72

    December 3, 2012 by Katie

    I cannot believe it’s already time to write this post! Seriously! Haha and I’m even posting it a few days late since it’s now DECEMBER 3RD!!! December is a great month though, well, after those annoying things called finals… But hey, I get a whole month off once they’re over so I’m good with that! Molly is also very excited for the holiday season:

    I hope you all had a great weekend, I certainly did! I’ll share more about that with you all tomorrow, but I thought since I’m already late I should do my goals post today! Also, if you’d still like to participate in the November Book Club for A Sweet Life in Paris, remember to send your link to your review, or your review itself to peaceloveandoats@gmail.com by 5am tomorrow morning and I can add it in!

    Here’s a re-cap of last month’s goals:


  8. November Goals

    38

    November 2, 2012 by Katie

    Yay, it’s Friday! Now that I’ve finished recapping my whole Birthday week (my birthday, WIAW: last day as a 24 year-old, and Thursday Thoughts: Birthday Edition), it’s time to recognize the fact that October is behind us and it’s time to embrace the very busy month of November!

    For those of you who’ve been reading for a while, you know that each month I re-cap my goals from the month before and then make new ones for the next month. These are just general guidelines that I like to make. I find it helpful to stop and assess how my life is going and write down a few changes or things I want to work on.

    Since I’ve been doing this for over a year, I thought it would be interesting to look at my goals for November a year ago!

    Last Year’s November Goals:


  9. October Goals

    October 1, 2012 by Katie

    Happy Monday! New week = new start!

    And, it means less than a week until….

    THE CHICAGO MARATHON! I can’t believe it’s here. Seriously, it doesn’t seem so long ago that I was sitting in class trying to register for it on February 1st at noon so I got in before it sold out!

    Insanity…


  10. September Goals

    September 2, 2012 by Katie
