April Recap, May Intentions
Christ is *almost* risen!
Goals & Progress for April
Goal: Read 3 non-ClassicQuest novels.
Report: I gave this one a “maybe” and did succeed, for the most part. I finished Goodnight Mister Tom, and then wrapped up South to America at the end of the month. 2/3 ain’t bad, especially since I’m so far ahead in my reading.
Goal: Write an April update for A Hodgepodge of Huffmans.
Report: Um.
Goal: Write 4 Emily’s Notebook posts.
Report: Oh yeah!
Goal: Complete 20 scene summaries in A Marriage of Convenience.
Report: I’m not sure that I quite made it to 20 summaries, but I did at least 10, maybe 15? Definite progress! I like the forward momentum. And I’m thinking about my story, which is what makes me the happiest.
Goal: COMPLETE EPIC HEAT!!!
Report: Phew. A hellish stomach bug nearly made this not happen. But AS OF THIS PAST SUNDAY I DONE DID IT! Feels great to be done. Now on to Beastmode, starting Monday.
Goal: Attempt the Wondr Health program?
Report: Eh, I attempted it but it’s not really for me. NBD. I did start counting macros a bit, so I’m looking forward to doing that in earnest once Pascha arrives and I can load up on meaty proteins (versus SO.MANY.SUPPLEMENTS. SO.MUCH.SHRIMP.)
Goal: Create a big Team Huffman Intentional Family Life binder.
Report: Well, I have the binder, and I did start a Notion page chronicling things (sorta). So. Kinda-sorta progress. I need to work more at “hacking away at this path”, if I’m phrasing it in Adventure Planning terms.
May Goals
Goal: Read 3 non-ClassicQuest novels. As usual! I started The Anthropocene Reviewed, and have a couple other TBR books checked out of the library + the audiobook of Most Dangerous, so I’m set for success for the month.
Goal: Write May’s Hodgepodge of Huffman update. Well, maybe. I might take a break for the summer, since Jarrod is essentially done with school (minus finals).
Goal: Write 4 blog posts. Same as always.
Goal: Complete 20 scene summaries in A Marriage of Convenience. I think? I need to remember how many months I gave myself for this drafting bit.
Goal: Complete Beastmode. I’ve really become reliant on the ladies in my Caroline Girvan Epic Heat accountability chat to keep me on track with my workouts, and since they’re all doing Beastmode (a 2-week program), well. I guess I am too!
Goal: Count my macros. I’ve tried this in the past and always felt like I just gained a lot of weight, but for some reason this past month when I attempted it, the numbers seemed to magically work for me. I’d like to enter a cut, but realistically I need to track consistently for a week or two (maybe during Beastmode?) before I hold myself to the higher standard that is cutting. Plus I want to enjoy alllll the treats for a bit.
Goal: Hone the Parenting Omnibus. You know. Figure out what the heck it is that I’m doing.
Goal: Start chipping away at the 2019 photo backlog. As of Tuesday, I finished 2020!
Okay May, I see you. Here we goooooo.
