Here’s my update of progress for the various CHANGES in my life I’m trying to create.  You can read more about the original concept in the post, “Introducing Small Changes To Your Life,” and also updates from February, March, April, May, and June.
CHANGES For June:

• Develop A Workout Routine/System (and stick to it!) – I started off the beginning of June and got back into the habit of running a few times a week but then lost interest midway through the month.  I’m not enjoying running as much as I’d like to, so maybe I need to find a different exercise to do.  Suggestions? (Grade: C-)

• Take A Road Trip With The Family – In June, we took field trips to Chicago and Dallas and had a blast!  The girls were actually incredible travelers considering the length of the drives.  It’s always fun when the girls can come along and see what Daddy does! (Grade: A)

• Finish Learning The Rubik’s Cube – I took the cube with me on a trip but haven’t really even messed with it.  I’ve got about half of it down but still have a few more steps to learn.  (Grade: F)

CHANGES For July:

• Read 3 Books – I generally read a decent amount, but haven’t been as much lately.  I’ve got some catching up to do, so hopefully we can get that done this month. 

• Go Camping With Sydnee – Now I’m not an outdoorsmen by any stretch of the imagination, but I’d like to go camping with my daughter.  Now when I say “camping” I don’t mean some trip deep into the woods.  There are bugs out there.  And it’s scary at night.  Our camping trip will probably either be in the backyard or in the basement, but we will sleep in a tent to make it official.  And there will perhaps be fire (haven’t thought that through yet). 

• Go To The Pool More With My Family – I have a difficult time relaxing so going to lay by the pool for a few hours gets really boring to me really quickly.  But my daughters have really enjoyed going to the pool and splashing around, so while my schedule is slow this summer, I want to spend more time with them doing what they love doing.
