Happy October! It’s my favorite month of the year! Hope you’re all having a great fall so far. Everything is fine over here, just busier than usual. Anyway, we’re here for the goals, so let’s get to them.
September 2021 Goals Recap
✅ Lose 10 pounds: DONE! Lost 11 pounds in September.
✅ Go for 10 walks: DONE! 14 walks in September!
✅ Increase savings account by $100: DONE! Increased by $362, even after paying Holden’s preschool tuition for the year.
❌ Organize the tupperware: FAIL. It’s a hot mess, so this goal is rolling over.
❌ Finish book club book before the meeting: FAIL. Again. Sigh.
✅ Go live in my Pink Zebra group: DONE! I went live once in September for the first time since JUNE! I used to go live several times a month. I need to get back into the habit of doing this a few times every month again.
✅ Total Completed: 4 of 6. Not too bad!
October 2021 Goals
- Complete 31 miles jogging / walking: my aunt and I signed up for a jogging fundraiser for pediatric cancer. The goal is to jog one mile a day over the course of the month for a total of 31 miles. Of course it’s flexible. You can walk, you can do 31 miles in a different way other than one mile a day, etc. Caleb has been going with me on my daily jogs! We alternate running and jogging and it’s been pretty fun! It’s also been a challenge because my legs are not used to running anymore, hence the walking / jogging intervals. My other goal is to be able to run an entire mile again by the end of the month, but I’m not making it an OFFICIAL goal because I’m scared I won’t be able to do it, and yet, I know if I push myself, I probably can!
- Lose 15 pounds: upping the goal from last month. Running (okay… jogging / walking for now) every day should help the weight come off even faster!
- Organize the tupperware: rollover goal
- Buy Caleb a keyboard: we need to buy the dang keyboard THIS month, and I’ve been saying this same thing for months! Caleb’s been taking piano lessons since March and he’s getting quite good. He needs a keyboard so he can practice at home!
- Finish four books: I’m currently in the middle of two, and then have two more I need to read for book clubs this month. I’d like to finish them all by the end of the month.
- Go live in my PZ group twice: working my way back up to going live more often! For a bit before AND after surgery, I had to kind of back off my little business for a couple of months, so I’m slowly picking it back up.
- Watch at least one horror movie: this is obviously spooky season, and you know we’re horror buffs in my house! Usually we’d watch more than one, but time is limited right now (Jerry goes to bed at 8:00 on weeknights due to his early morning start time), and we’re really into all the Food Network Halloween shows. Surely we can make time for at least one movie instead of a show one night though!
Alright, that’ll do it for the month! No finance goals this month because we’re getting a dead tree removed (expensive!), and a shorter list again because it’s another busy month. I’ve had so many freaking appointments lately, what with my recent surgery and all the follow-ups, my upcoming LASIK, and my neurology appointments. November is looking to be as busy as October too… lots of appointments through the end of the year. Sheesh.
One messy step at a time still moves you forward.
