June 2009 goal update
Motivation is a funny thing. Some days I have it, some days I don't. I'm not even particularly sure what motivates me 97% of the time. One thing I'm starting to learn is that I can't do everything. I'm not Superman. There's clearly a correlation between time spent on working toward a goal and the amount of success I have toward achieving that goal. It's a balancing act. The more time I spend on one goal, the less time I have to spend on another, meaning that when one goal is going well, the others suffer. Take a look at the results for June 2009 and you may get a clearer picture of what I'm getting at.
Goal Number One: Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that can generate $350US per month.
The year has sucked big time this year in terms of revenue, with the site generating a modest $105.98 in June, down again from $137.54 in May.
Goal Number Two: Develop Swollen Pickles into a website that receives 35,000 unique visits per month.
Smashed the previous months visitor numbers, with 42,793 unique visits in June, compared to 39,084 unique visits in May. If only I could figure out a way to consistently translate those numbers into dollars.
Goal Number Three: Exercise a minimum of three times per week (30 plus minutes per session).
I was doing great until the last two weeks of June. I got the flu and was out of action for a week, and was then a little slow to ramp things up again. I maintained decent eating habits though, so it didn't have a huge impact on the overall weight loss...
Goal Number Four: Achieve a Body Mass Index (BMI) within the "Normal" range (from 18.5 to 25).
Good signs here as I inch closer to achieving this goal the next challenge will be maintaining it! I started the year with a hefty BMI of 29. At the end of June, my BMI was 26.5, down from 27.8 in May. As a micro goal, I'm hoping to be at or below 25.5 by the end of
Goal Number Five: Reduce my waist measurement to below 94cm.
I haven't brought myself to a trip to Spotlight for a measuring tape yet. Progress on this goal is difficult to report.
