Have you noticed a trend in us running behind this summer?? đ Â Thanks for having patience and sticking around with us those that are! Â Maybe it’s just a summer thing and come fall we will be back to our normal routines?? One can hope right? We continue to be freaked out by each and every new month that comes because well – time is flying people!
Teal:
1.  Clean out the garage which involves properly deposing of all old paint, chemicals, and random things you canât through in the regular trash, donating anything that  should have donated a long time ago, if it belongs to my brother itâs going to his house, and then just generally cleaning. Why I pick June to work outside in the heat is beyond me but whatever!?
A+: this was so much easier than I thought. I just called the city, ordered the bag and left it on the front porch! The garage is cleaned out, despite an attack from 2 cockroaches, donât worry the Orkin man has been out to fix that little problem too!
2. So I graduated at the beginning of May!! Yay, but I have very annoying things that I have/need to do
- Consolidate and move all my student loans to one place and get on a better plan to pay off faster. YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!
- Register for the LPC exam and not cry when I pay the $300 to take it
- Organize all the grad work that I did that I want, toss the old stuff, bind what I am keeping ( anyone have one of those spiral binding things?)
- Organize, bind, toss, or give away my teaching stuff! I will be moving to counselor next year and have a billion teaching things to go through
B: Turns out I can wait until November to consolidate, so I will, canât register for the LPC until October, paper are organized ( I used binders instead) and my teaching stuff is ready for my friend to have whenever I see her!!
3.  Follow my under 2 hour half marathon runkeeper running plan as close to possible! I will eventually run an under 2 hour half marathon if it kills me! Well not really, I want to live, but you get the point!
B-: I am not sure how to rank this, I have done most of the runs, I usually end up leaving one of the runs per week out because my body doesnât do well with 3 relatively tough days in a row, by the third one my knee hates me and I would rather keep my body intact and not made at me than to run! However, I do feel stronger and better already so Iâll just keep working through July!
4.  Eliminate random eating. Raise your hand if you stand around trying to figure out something to eat and you find yourself eating crap in the process! ME!! This has to stop!! Itâs not like am eating like crazy stuff, but it is mindless and when I finally figure out what to eat, Iâm annoyed that I ate weird random things in the meantime!
Beth:
1.  This time around my weight goal is simply: DONâT GAIN ANY!!! Ha, sounds simple right?  Well, this is my birth month and my parents are divorced so this usually means multiple celebrations with good food, good drinks and dessert.  So itâs a dangerous time of year for me. No weight gain in June!!
A++++++: I am still at the same weight! Wahoo! I survived all of the Birthday eating this month!
2. Yoga 2-3 times a week.  Ever since I finished my goal of completing 200 classes in a year Iâve been kind of a slacker, so letâs get back to yoga goals! Itâs soooo good for me!
F: Yah, I didn’ t go at all. Fail, Beth, fail!
3.  Finish projects at Brentâs house.  I volunteered his house to host a friend dinner (like this one) towards the end of the month and I havenât finished some art I started for the walls, since Iâll eventually move in there (you know when we are married) I had already left all of my racing medals, hook to hold them, awesome race bib board my SIL made me over there they just need to be hung up.
A: I finished my “home” picture I was making though I have a feeling the perfectionist in me will make me redo it at some point!
It says home in a bunch of different languages all of which are written on the canvas so I can always know.
I also got my medal hook and medals hung up – now what to do with the OTHER medals that are not on this hook??
I might kind of have a thing for the color blue….
I didn’t get my bib holder hung up because I decided that I wanted to change out the hooks that are currently on it to clips so that all different size bibs can hang for it, so that’s still a project! But I did get a shelf all spray painted and it sits below the medal hook in the office AND we got the guest bedroom cleaned up for now. Â My purdy quilt Rebekah made me occupies the bed and I put up some other things around the room. I consider what I did at my future home a success this month!
4. Finish the two wedding projects I have ALL of the supplies for! 
Looking back at this goal I am not exactly sure which ones I was talking about. HA! Â But y’all I got A LOT of wedding schtuff done this month! Â Some projects might not be finished but they are well on their way to being completed! Â And there is one project for sure still sitting in the packaging, but it requires me sitting in the garage by myself for awhile to work on it which does not fully excite me hence the delay! đ Â I am kind of afraid to show pictures of projects I am working on as I don’t want to give everything away on the internet and would like certain stuff to be seen for the first time at the wedding. đ
My reoccurring goals – Hills, well, I did 3 out of 4 weeks of hills in June and let me tell you that it is getting HOT in Texas! Â As far as books go I am still on Target with my goal of reading 24 this year and read my 12th book this month, the recent release, Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn. Could not put this book down!

And on to July goals!! Here’s also to hoping that our July Report Card is up on the blog in the first few days of August!! Wheee! HA
Teal:
1. Read Power of Habit, work on the stupid ” I am just going to stand here and eat random crap while I look for something to eat” problem.
(source)
I want to eliminate the eating of CRAP too! Ot happens when I am indecisive about what to eat or I wait TOO LONG & I want to gnaw my own arm off! You have Great suggestions for books! Can’t wait to read them.
It can be hard, but both books we mentioned have lots of helpful information!! Let us know which one you read or if you read both! You probably won’t regret getting both….
I’m with you on the breaking 2 hours in the half! I’m not following a plan though, maybe that would help! Good luck with all of the goals!
I think you both did a great job in June. I’m working on the mindless eating problem too and I’ve just had to stop buying certain things and only leaving myself healthy options if I feel snacky.
