• See friends at least twice. Standard monthly goal for me! I don't think I'm a naturally sociable person (I like my bed and my own company too much for that!) but I still think it's important to make the effort to see the people who matter to me.
• No chocolate. I gave up chocolate for Lent last year so I know I can do it, but I'm making it harder for myself this year by also cutting back on refined sugar as much as I can - so where last year I replaced chocolate with jelly babies, this year I won't be giving myself that option! I'm expecting to be very grumpy for a couple of weeks whilst I get used to it... But I'm hoping I'll see some benefits in terms of my energy levels, the state of my skin, and maybe even my jiggly belly! My friend is doing it with me (so he says...) so at least I'll have company in my misery.
• Read at least one book. I got myself back on track in February for my target of twelve books this year, so I want to keep up the good work in March and add at least another book to my 'Read' list for the year. I'm actually working my way through The Outrun by Amy Liptrot, which I'm really enjoying so far, so fingers crossed I make the time to finish it.
• Interviews! Less of a goal (because I can't do anything about it now!) and more of a hope - I'll find out the middle of this month whether I've got any interviews for the doctorate programs I applied for, so I'm crossing everything that I'll be offered at least one interview!
I've got a week off in the middle of the month with nothing really planned yet, so I'm hoping to fit something fun in there... Any suggestions!? Do you have anything nice planned for March? What are you hoping to achieve this month?
Great list! Love the book one! The exercise one is bonkers - but in a good way!!
Hello March it is! Well, I guess what I need is the going to the gym thing! I need to improve that this month.
How is it March already? This year is going too quick. Great goals - I need to see friends more and go the gym more too.
