2016 Goals - Review

I haven't really been checking in with my goal list for the year, so I thought I'd wrap up 2016 by looking back at it and seeing how I did.

2016 Goals

1. Get my first LV Book Design Client — I got my first client and then some! And almost all of my clients returned for more work from me!

2. See my mom get married — Check this one off the list! (here's a few pics from the wedding)

3. Go to Colorado/Take a "real" vacation — We ended up just going to our favorite cabin in New Roads, LA. However, we had an amazing time and we got to stay longer.

4. Become a Budget Boss — Not so much. But with baby on the way, I'll be buckling down on this one in 2017.

5. Live a healthier lifestyle — Getting pregnant made this one happen, lol.

6. Try out turquoise hair — Still on my to-do.

7. Get a grill — Sadly, this still hasn't happened.

8. Save for Xmas all year long — We actually just ended up having extra income come in for Xmas, but we really need to make saving for it a practice.

9. Create more personal art — I did more freelance illustration work this year, which I love doing but I still never worked on personal visual art. I did start writing, however. So, that counts, right?

10. Try Whole 30 — Nope and probably won't anytime soon.

11. Use Instagram at least once a week — I need to start doing the challenges again. I had fun doing them and it helped me get better at Instagram.

12. Try to do Project 365 again — FAIL.

Quarterly Report

It's almost a quarter of the way into 2016. Sheesh. Well, I figured I'd do a "quarterly report" on my 2016 Goals, to assess how I'm doing and what I still need to get done!

2016 Goals

1. Get my first LV Book Design Client — I'm still new to this entrepreneurship gig. I haven't quite mastered the means of marketing my services to the right people yet. However, I've varied my offerings and I've tinkered with my prices and I think I'm at a good place. Plus, I got my first client this past month!

2. See my mom get married — Check this one off the list! (here's a few pics from the wedding)

3. Go to Colorado/Take a "real" vacation — I'm changing this one. I think Colorado is just too far out of our budget. But we are taking a vacation, just have to figure out where.

4. Become a Budget Boss — I have faith that I will accomplish this in 2016.

5. Live a healthier lifestyle — We're trying.

6. Try out turquoise hair — Not yet.

7. Get a grill — This one is really for Mr. LL 😉

8. Save for Xmas all year long — See #4

9. Create more personal art — I've been concentrating on commercial art. I forgot about this one. I need to work on that!

10. Try Whole 30 — Not yet. 

11. Use Instagram at least once a week — I made up for lost time this past month!

12. Try to do Project 365 again — Ugh. Nope. I've abandoned it again. I just don't think it is for me.

Working out, with a plan /// PLUS: FREE download!

Around this time, every year, people all over are making the promise to live healthier. I'm no different really, but I did start before 2015 ended. 

I created a Fitness Planner to help me keep track of my goals, meals and workouts each week. I'm also a big believer in the reward system, so I made a spot for each week, if I complete all three goals, I have a reward to work towards. My favorite part is the daily water tracker...even though I'm not very good at completing it every day.

I want to offer this planner to all of you, my lovely readers, so you can get your butts in gear just like I am trying to do. You know what they say, misery loves company...j/k...sort of.

Anyway, if you would like this free download, just sign up for the Lazy Lady newsletter! I'll be giving more freebies like this in the future and you'll be the first to know!
