Pumpkin days are over and Turkey days have begun. Another month gone with a new one just starting. And so it goes, the passage of time. New beginnings, new starts, new YOU. What changes are you going to make this month? Are you going to try anything new? Set a new goal? Whether it be fitness related, health related, social life related, anything....what are you going to try thats new or different this month? Discuss. Or don't, its up to you. But if you don't the moderators will cry.

I joined a weight loss competition. I'm also going to log my foods. I should have been doing that all along but I just couldn't seem to find the time or energy to do it. So, with a new month starting I have a new commitment to do it. I also want to buy myself something nice. Just for me. Not for the kids. Not for anyone else but me. Not for any reason. JUST BECAUSE.10

I'm going to:
Tighten up my macros.
Continue to workout 3x a week.
Fix my bike.
Finish two chapters of my thesis.4 -
I’m going to try to refine my goals by learning to conserve the time I do have for things that I value. As well as, learning how to say no to the things that hold no investment towards my goals.4

I feel like I screwed up October. So, this month I will do a better job of food prep. Get more lifting days in. And sleep better.2

One thing said to me recently that stuck...do a little better than you did the day before4 -
Drink no alcohol this month and run 100 miles! Let's all hit our goals and have a fabulous November!3

This is kind of like my goal. I generally just drink socially, and at home I’ll pour something and not finish it. I always feel bleh and headachey even if I have one drink. So I think for November I’m just going to not partake. I’m also trying to run 3-4 miles every day.Drink no alcohol this month and run 100 miles! Let's all hit our goals and have a fabulous November!

Try my hands at meal prep. Eat greens while resisting the urge to throw up. Also, Have chicken or fish once a day.1

Awwwwww, I pour one drink and then I want one more...and one more...
3-4 miles per day is my minimum goal too and more when I can. I didn't meet my goal in October so I'm going to push myself harder this month.2 -

New month, new ME meant that I got out on a run yesterday and this morning. I'm upset about something tonight; it's nothing serious but I'm still upset. So the NEW ME is going running, AGAIN today because I am going to deal with my frustrations in a more positive manner.
Thank you @pizzamyheart for starting this thread for the support and encouragement and just being able to vent! I only want to be better than who I was yesterday... calmer, more mindful, better fit, stronger...5 -
New me ran 3.2 worth of frustrations off and I am happy.2

my favorite is “go for progress not perfection”
like i set myself up for failure if i try to do too much so i start small like this week i want to try to drink a 1/2 gallon of water every day which sounds dumb but there’s like way more chance i doing that than if i’m like “get up early, make my bed, journal every morning, go for a run, eat clean and don’t curse” i would *kitten* that up in the first five minutes and then get all defeatist and stop trying
I like that. “Go for progress not perfection.” I like that a lot. Thanks for sharing that because I think it’s gonna be my new mantra. I HAVE made progress....and that isn’t failing. Just a better way to think about it.5 -

I like this too0 -
I think I'll just do my best not to fall into the "holiday trap" for the next two months. Yikes. It helps that I don't have to make or attend any large family outings with a bunch of delicious, calorie laden foods this year. No Thanksgiving and I'm down with having rum cake as a Christmas dinner.
