March has just about come and gone, I can't believe how fast the time goes with a little one. With all of the craziness of this month, I haven't done much at working on my goals. At least I have them. This month, the time just flew by and I didn't have time to do much of anything. I am not sure why my time seemed to be just sucked away.
The good thing is that on March 23 I started a new diet. 5 days into it and I am down 5 lbs. I am so excited, I have never lost this fast before and I feel great. I am doing a 10 day body cleanse which consists of fruit, more fruit, hard boiled eggs, veggies, more veggies and some lean proteins. No dairy, gluten, grains. And I haven't cheated at all. It is exciting. So maybe this is the jump start that I needed to get on a healthy track.
Workouts have been sketchy, made it to the gym only a couple of times this month. Really trying to make that a priority again.
Money... ah money. Wouldn't be nice to live in a world where money wasn't needed. So no saving, over again. I think maybe I have saved some in groceries since I am buying mostly fruit and veggies, nothing processed. Maybe in April I can get to the no spend month. I think I need to make a list of the things that are needs and a list of the things that are wants. This list is different for everyone, so some of my needs may be someone else's wants. But there you have it... I need to quit spending and start saving. Now just quit talking about it and do it.
Business: Nothing new here, and it isn't a priority like losing weight, getting healthy and saving money. Of course if I was making money at my business it would help in the saving part. But there is still alot of year left, so I will revisit this.
Now for some personal stuff. Baby Max had his first haircut on Friday March 22. I was kind of sad to see the baby curls go. But he is so handsome right now. He says Dada, daddy, bo(bottle), booh, and sometimes Mama. Oh and DOG pronounced doge. It is a long oh sound. Everything is DOG. So cute.

March is Here!
February has come and gone, and now for the second month in a row I have not hit my goals like I had them outlined. I did not hit my saving money goals at all. I think I spent more the month of February than I have in months past. So March is going to be my no spend month. It is actually going pretty well.
I lost 4 pounds this month, so this month I am going to try very hard to stick with a healthy diet. The exercise is there, but not where I want to be. So getting to the gym and weighing and measuring portions are my goals for the month. Overall I am feeling much better losing some weight. Energy levels are higher, and I just feel better.
I stepped out of my box this month and attended several conferences. One of them was the scentsy spring sprint. I had a great time, and the speakers were really good. It made me motivated to get out there and start running my business as well a business. So starting to make some goals for that.
The other conference was The Women's Empowering Conference and it was really good. The speakers were great, and again it motivated me to understand where I need to be. As well as some good tips on what I need to do. My two favorite parts were "He's not your Girlfriend." Some great relationship advice, and what I walked away with was to give my husband room to be a dad, and a husband. Guide him but make sure I am giving him the win when he does it. Not right, just does it. So I was telling him about this portion of the conference, and my biggest pet peeve is that he won't give the baby a bath. That frees up so much time for me to do housework stuff, and the baby is engaged elsewhere and safe. So last night, he took it upon himself to give the baby a bath. I was ECSTATIC. And my husband got a huge win in the process. The second thing was "Burn the Boats." Talking about how things in our life take up space and we don't need them after they have fulfilled their use. I need to burn a lot of boats, and that plays into my getting organized goals.
I have a new goal after attending this conference and that is to find my purpose and value in this world. It may not be much, but I need to find myself again and figure out what I need to do. I always thought I was destined for GREAT THINGS, but great things just don't happen. You have to work for them, and most of the time it is very hard work. So starting small, I am going to find my purpose, my value and let the great things happen.
So Goals for the month of March:
Lose another 4 lbs by Easter. Losing Weight is one of my top priorities.
Saving Money - No send month. Don't spend on frivoulous stuff you don't need.
Getting organized - Burn my boats. I have to throw stuff away, throwing it away you don't have to organize it.
Business Goals: For this month: Facebook advertisements. At least two posts per week with new Scentsy products. Try to book at least one party for this month and get a party order.
Until next time!!
