12 Months of Goals - March

12MonthsofGoals
Last year I set 3 goals every month for myself and I accomplished a lot! This year, I wanted to down play it even more and just set ONE goal for myself. However, with just one goal each month I hope to devote more time to it. You can find an update on February's Goal below.


In March...
facetubeI'd like to create a Short Form Facebook video! I have been seeing these pop up all over Facebook and I've been interested in trying to do one myself. If you don't know what these are, it is a video that usually goes along with a blog post. It shows how to do something. The video is usually 30 seconds to 1 minute in length. I would like to show how to make a recipe in my video and then I'll have an accompanying blog post of the recipe to go with the video. 

I was working on creating some unboxing videos last year that I published on my You Tube page, but I haven't created a video in 5 months! Seriously, that is a long time. I've probably forgotten how to use iMovie! I also have Adobe Premiere with my Adobe Cloud membership and I should try and figure it out eventually... I mean, I am paying for it as part of my package, so why not? 

I did do a little research and investing in a tabletop tripod, a horizontal arm (which you'll need to counter balance the weight of it) for the tripod and a 24-70 mm (or wide angle lens) is the best for these types of videos. I thought a macro lens would be great, but it is actually not the way to go for these videos. Since this is my first video, I'm not going to look into buying this equipment until I see if this is something I'd be interested in continuing.

And, this isn't a goal for this month... but, I thought I'd bring it up since it also has to do with Facebook!

My Invisalign Journey (Trays 9-15) and Progression Photos

Today I am going to share a little more about My Invisalign Journey with you. Back in May, I shared my first Invisalign post HERE and talked about my first 8 trays with Invisalign. Today I am going to share some information and progression photos for Trays 9-15. And, no, I am not done with Invisalign yet. After your first round of trays (I had 15 trays), they start revision trays. Unfortunately, I found out I have 18 revision trays... I am currently on tray 3 of those. I will continue to share updates as my progress continues. I talk about why I went with Invisalign and what the entire process was like in my first post (see link below). I am not going to repeat it all in this post, but I will share my progression photos with you. If you have any questions, be sure to let me know in the comments.

Beyond Thrilled to see SO many #ShowYourMug Photos!

I haven't really set any specific goals for myself with half marathons, except to try to PR. However, I haven't PR'ed my 2:06 time in a couple years! After training ...

Y'all! I DID IT! 2016 Chicago Marathon Recap!!!

I am really excited to share this post with all of you today. I have been wanting to run a marathon for a really, really, REALLY long time. I was too afraid to do it, I was afraid I would fail. I started out running in 2009 after I had my daughter and signed up to run 500 miles in one year with friends I met on  Babycenter   I started out walking and running... but, I did it! I completed 500 miles in 2009. My first 5K was at our local zoo and then I branched out and did a Halloween 10K. After that, I signed up for my first half marathon here in St. Louis and my second half marathon was the Wine & Dine at Disney... My first half marathon time was 2:35 and my best has been 2:04 and a HUGE dream/goal of mine is to complete one in under 2:00 hours. But... first I toyed around with the idea of running a marathon.  All  of my running friends kept telling me to JUST DO IT. That I'd do just fine. But, I was sacred.... Finally, 7 years later I have RAN MY FIRST MARATHON! ...
