Happy New Year, y’all! Let’s give 2018 a firm boot in the ass, shall we?

As in Reading While Drinking, to be alternately known as Reading Under the Influence or Reading Drunk. Whatever your acronymical preference, this is a reading challenge that MartyMankins, KevinSpencer, and I came up with tonight on Twitter and you’re invited to join in the fun!

I’m going to be honest with you, I really like the overall structure of the goals I set for 2018. So, for the most part, I’m going to stick with how it was set up but with some tweaking of the numbers. 

This year is almost done! Holy heck. How did that happen so quickly. Time to start thinking of 2019 goals. Yikes!

I think October fared pretty well for me. Take a poke around below and let me know what you think!

September is always a busy month for us. Between Nathan starting school and a new yearlong routine to his birthday to my company’s annual on-site celebration to whatever else, I was ready to let some goals go. Let’s see how I did.

Lots going on. Lots going on. Lots going on! Take a look...

It was a good month for goal progress! Check it out.

I’m pretty happy with the month I had. Let’s see if you agree.

Not only is today a goal check-in, but it's also Nathan's final day of preschool... ever. Seriously! Where did the year go? Where did the last five years go?? We now have a kindergartener. To quote Dr. Sam Beckett, "ho boy."

April is over already?? What the ever-loving heck??

Happy Easter! And Happy April Fools’ Day! And... I’m sure there’s something else going on, too. I’m just too lazy to figure it out. Instead, let’s celebrate another month of personal goal achievement, shall we? 

Time to recap my February goal work. You ready? Let’s do this!

I think I kinda like the idea of doing these goal recaps again. Let’s see how I did, shall we?

Can you believe that 2017 is practically over? By the time you read this, it may already be 2018. Who can say for sure? The madness!!

Woo hoo! Check me out! My first weekday step goal attainment since Friday, August 11!

Seeing as this is going to be my last ever goals recap post, I really want to make it a brief one. Let's test just how quick.

I'm starting to feel a bit apathetic about these posts. Maybe after this year, I'll be done with them. Would you be heartbroken?

Wanna see something cool? Check this out...

This is the end of the third quarter and I'm feeling the pinch regarding my 2016 goals.

I'm going to tear through this as quick as I can as we're heading into the holiday weekend and I'd like to actually be caught up on my posts. Something that is happening with less frequency of late. I catch up and fall behind. Oy, daily posting.

Ah the goals. The dreaded feared loathed goals. Why do I do this to myself?

Another month has passed and it's time to recap progress toward my goals. Care to check in with me?

I gotta admit, I'm pretty happy with May overall.

Pitiful. Sad. Dreadful. Lousy. Ridiculous. Shameful. Suckage.

Let's see how March went on the goals front, shall we?

I know it's a few days late, for that I'm sorry. But here is my recap of goal achievement in the month of February.

Is it just wrong that I seriously cannot get into reading this year?

Four years ago today Katie and I received official Doctor's confirmstion that she was pregnant. Wow. Four years.

My final goals recap for 2015 is here. I simply cannot believe it. Bring on December, for better or for worse.

I can't believe I have to write another set of these already. 2016 is less than a day and a half away! Yikes!

I guess it may be time to start thinking about next year's goals, eh? Yup, the time is nigh. In the meantime, how about a recap of how I did on my goals in the month of November?

I would first and foremost like to say... I FINALLY HIT MY STEP GOAL FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE MAY!!!! 12,080 steps average for the month!

Goals? We don't need no stinkin' goals! Clearly that's what some part of my brain was thinking this past month. Oy. I loathe to post this.

An interesting month for goal achievement, to be sure. I can make it real quick for you.
