This Week on JessicaLawlor.com:
Monthly Check-In: Goodbye July, Hello August: Each month, I share three things I accomplished in the previous month and preview three things I’m excited about for the upcoming month. Here’s my latest monthly check-in.
Goals
- Get back on track professionally and personally after a week of vacation! I have lots to catch up on from emails to blogging to freelance projects. I feel refreshed and I’m ready to tackle my goals.
- Eat. Healthy. Food. After a week of delicious boardwalk food, I am definitely needing to incorporate some healthy eats back into my diet. I’m proud because I kept up with my workout schedule on vacation, but now I need to get my eating back on track.
