November Goals

It's goal time! Even though it was nice to take a few days off of writing after the 31 Days series, it does feel good to be back and blogging at a more normal pace :)

So, let's look at October's goals:

Write my 31 Days of Believing Beautiful series. Did it! Whoooooohooo. You can take a peek at the series' landing page here. 

Do ab/Core strength exercises each day. Um. I did fine for about 10 days and then lost my steam. Something I'm learning about myself in regard to exercise is that it has to be specific. For example, I should have chosen a specific exercise to do each day instead of an opened-ended "core exercises." Live and learn ;)

Now, for my November goals:

No "I am fat" talk. After spending a week writing about believing beautiful about my body, I realized that I really have to make it practical to help it stick. So, even if I feel or think I'm a little extra squishy that day, I'm not saying it. I am not going to whine to my husband about how fat I feel. Nope. Nope. Nope. 

Read at least one fun novel. I haven't read a book for a while, and it's high time that I do!

Get the guest room/office ready for visitors. My mom is coming later this month, so we need to get our guest space ready. Right now, it's a hot mess, so I'm excited to dedicate some time to making it guest and family-friendly :)

Blog at least twice a week. I really do have plenty to blog about, but I want to make it a priority to do. My blog is a digital memory-keeper of so many events in my life and record-keeper of so many thoughts/ideas as well. It's important to me to keep at it.

That's it!

What are your goals for November?
