{May Goals}

Since I've been reading blogs I love watching the evolution of the author. Be it someone just getting into fashion or makeup, someone trying to eat healthier, lose weight, or exercise more, or even a new mommy to be I love watching all of you set goals and achieve them. There's just something so inspiring about it all. With that said I am going to start a new monthly goal series (and a yearly goal, be on the look out for a 25 before 25 soon). Since there are 31 days in May I would like to set 31 goals. Hopefully I succeed at all of them, but even just a few would be great.

1. Read a book a week (or 5 a month)-- I'm going on vacation so between plane time and beach time hopefully I can get this one done.
2. Start studying for the LSAT again-- Ugh. I just need to do it. October will be here before you know it.
3. Relax more-- Puerto Rico here I come!
4. Do yoga for at least 20 minutes 5 times a week.
5. Enjoy my friends more
6. Make new friends
7. lose 7 pounds-- This will put me at a big milestone for me (and I've been gaining and losing the same 4 pounds for almost 4 months now, time to step it up)
8. Get back in the gym-- I've been moderately exercising with yoga and walking but if I'm going to be serious about those 7 lbs I've got to get back on the elliptical.
9. Stick to an eating plan- too often I sabotage myself. I need to pick a diet and stick to it. no fudging the rules.
10. Get serious about job hunting-- Time to have the talk with the big boss.
11. Set up 2 random coffee dates-- be it networking or a real date. 2 people I don't know at all.
12. Stick to a strict budget-- between recent car disasters (thank you stupid rats) and stolen laptops, and too much shopping I've gotten in a serious hole.
13. Visit the Doctor-- I've been putting of this appointment for far too long.
14. Drink more water
15. Plan a trip to Atlanta
16. Plan a different trip for August
17. Keep my room cleaner
18. Re-organize my makeup situation-- currently its a hot mess
19. Get rid of 10 pieces of clothing/shoes-- I don't have room.
20. Oh Walk 10K a day-- it's a competition at work during the month of May. I have to walk 10,000 steps every day. whew. I hope I can do it. Yet another motivation for #8.
21. Finish 1 DIY project. just one. 
22. Execute a fabulous birthday party this Saturday. Happy Cinco de Mayo people.
23. Re-design the blog-- I think it's time I actually invest in this thing and get a new layout, maybe a button or two. Have any of you worked with a good designer? I need suggestions.
24. Start taking pictures on my camera, not the old iPhone. 
25. Drink less caffeine-- See #14.
26. Get new running shoes.
27. Pick a new computer-- See #12.
28. Wash my face EVERY MORNING and EVERY NIGHT.
29. Whiten my teeth.
30. DON'T buy any new products unless I'm ABSOLUTELY out. 
31. Treat myself to a mani-pedi-- because lets be honest, I deserve it. Especially if I achieve even half of these goals. 

Well... what do you think? Do you have any goals for the month of May? I'll check back in at the beginning of June and let you know how I did!
