I’m a little late to the game this month. Oof. Things have been hectic (what’s new?), but I finally found some time to come up with my goals for the month (even though we’re already eight days in). First, we’ll recap how October went!
October 2021 Goals Recap
✅ Complete 31 miles jogging / walking: This one is hard for me to determine whether I should count it done or not. This was a fundraiser challenge for pediatric cancer, and the goal was to walk / jog one mile a day OR, just hit 31 miles in total even if not done daily. Caleb and I were honestly CHAMPIONS! We were out there almost every night, but at the end of the month, we had horrible rain (it actually beat some records for rain totals in Rochester), so we missed those days. We were super committed and walked in the rain several times throughout the month, but the end of the month raining was like… monsoon level (it even seeped into and drenched our garage). I do think we hit 31 miles in total, but we missed probably 5 days. We also raised $235, and our goal was $150. Whaaat? That was really thrilling.
❌ Lose 15 pounds: FAIL. I lost 11.4 pounds in October though, so it doesn’t really feel like a fail.
❌ Organize the tupperware: FAIL. Forgot!
✅ Buy Caleb a keyboard: DONE! He’s obsessed with it and plays it all the time! His teacher is constantly impressed and says he has a natural ear.
❌ Finish four books: FAIL.
❌ Go live in my PZ group twice: FAIL. I went live once.
❌ Watch at least one horror movie: FAIL! This has been the weirdest year and fall season ever. We did watch our favorite Halloween shows though like Halloween Baking Championship.
✅ Total Completed: 2 of 7. Big oof.
November 2021 Goals
- Lose 10 pounds: some months I lose a lot, some months I only lose a little. There are so many stalls and ups and downs in this journey. The surgeon ensures me I am on track though, and doing well! I just saw her on Friday for another follow-up and we discussed and came up with what my goal weight should be. Excited to get there over the next several months!
- Organize the tupperware: rollover again!
- Go live in my PZ group twice: setting this goal again because I didn’t complete it last month.
- Start Christmas shopping: I need to start putting together ideas for the kids and start buying some.
- Finish two books
- Schedule car inspection: it expires this month. Just so hard to have the car in the shop EVER because… work.
- Blog about my LASIK experience: I got LASIK done last Thursday! I want to blog about the experience.
- Blog a Month in Review for October: I kind of fell off with my monthly review posts because they’re very time consuming, but we did a lot in October, so I want to recap it all!
- Watch eight Hallmark movies: you KNOW I love my Hallmark Christmas movies! I watched 19 last year. I want to beat it this year. LOL
⭐ Priority Goal: [Your #1 focus this month]
One messy step at a time still moves you forward.
