I can't believe Friday starts a new month, already! What are you working towards for November?
November 13th will be my one year anniversary of my new lifestyle. For this first year, my goals have mostly been about the number on the scale... I'm going to focus on setting goals that don't revolve around the scale.
November Goals:
- Run a total of 30 miles:
-3.25 miles every Saturday
-2 miles at lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays
*This is going to be a tough one to attain being that November is cold! But if I plan to run a 5K on New Year's Eve, I need to prepare.
- Complete the 30 Day Little Black Dress Challenge
- Little to No alcohol. I am going to try for an alcohol-free month. If I do end up going out at all, I will limit myself to 2 drinks, max.
- Keep up with the meal planning and eating cleaner. Stay away from Halloween candy and holiday treats!
-LOG everything. Even on the weekends!

November goals are tricky because of those pesky holidays but here goes....
1.) Run a 60 mile month (1/2 marathon in Jan)
2.) Add in a 5th day of running every week.
3.) Log everything that crosses my lips except on Thanksgiving Day.
4.) Give up Soda (again)0 -
I am falling a little short on my October Goals but I am going to press on.
1) Run 40+ miles (starting to train for a half in April)
2) Cook a clean meal at home at least 6 days a week
3) Lose 3 pounds (from my Nov 1st weigh in)
4) Log everything "honestly"... NO UNDOCUMENTED SNACKING
Plan on weighing in Nov 1st, 8th, 15th, 22nd 30th (giving myself an extra recovery day after turkey day)0 -
I love making short term goals. I get so over whelmed when the hurdles seem so big.
1) No gaining during my 4 day trip to Chicago. (I'm working hard to lose 10lbs for this trip and I don't want all that hard work to be for nothing)
2)Continue Boxing at least 3 days a week, and get back to running at least 3 days a week also.
3)Continue with meal planning, and continue eating clean with the exception of Thanksgiving.
4) Get my daughter more involved in preparing meals, she is less picky if she helped out. (and watching Masterchef junior)
4) Keep Logging EVERYDAY. Almost up to 100 days Woo!
Weigh in Saturdays.0 -
1) keep tracking everything I eat/drink.
2) don't go over my allowed daily calories
3) exercise 3 days a week.
4) make it down to 131 on TGiving (3 lbs lost)0 -

Since I don't have access to a gym anymore & the weather is getting colder here in Oklahoma, my goals are:
1. 30mins of cardio daily (30min walk, 30min aerobic DVD, 30min Yoga DVD, etc)
2. 15min strength training 5X week (push ups, sit ups, crunches, lunges)
3. Continue logging & eating less junk & more veggies.
4. Lose 2lbs this month (only lost 1lbs in the last 4 weeks

Youtube is my best friend right now in terms of cardio! Good luck everyone!

My daughter has swimming lessons twice a week. I WILL run on a treadmill while she's at those lessons. I will also take her to the pool for practice at least once a week, and will get in and swim/play around too. I've REALLY slacked off on my physical activity since it's gotten colder here.
I would like to weigh in at 156 pounds at the end of the month. I will NOT weigh more than 160.0 -
My daughters have swim class too and this season I decided to the Adult Swim class. We'll see how it goes!
I find it hard to go for my runs after work becuase it gets dark at 430 these days.
Those are great goals, you can do it!!!0 -

In my frustrations about the scale not moving, it occured to me that looking back at my diary from when I WAS losing consistently would be a good idea (Holy crap, why didn't I think of this sooner?!) I was eating between 1300-1500 calories depending on exercise and was getting up every morning to exercise and was walking everyday at lunch. Then I was doing zumba once a week. In short, I was eating less, working out more... DUH!
So I've commited to getting into the habit of getting up early to exercise again.
My exercise schedule is as follows through the end of the month:
Monday & Wednesday: Belly Buster workout & Little Black Dress Challenge in the a.m. and walk at lunch
Tuesday & Thursday: Little Black Dress Challenge & Yoga and run at lunch
Friday: Belly Buster workout & Little Black Dress Challenge
Saturday: Little Black Dress Challenge & Run at least 3.1 miles
Sunday: Little Black Dress Challenge (REST DAY)0 -
Today I'm still at 159. No biggie, and a bit of an accomplishment considering the tasty candy treats leftover from the trick or treaters last week.
I ran on the treadmill last night and made it back downstairs to see the end of my daughter's swimming lesson.
Today I found a Thanksgiving 5k in my area and signed up for it. Yay for morning calorie burns!0 -

Last week was a tough week for me. A friend passed away, my mom-in-law was in the hospital, it was the 1 year anniversary of my father-in-law's passing, a sick toddler and a sick teething baby. I am glad that I managed to maintain.0
