I'm tired of waiting for the right time to make a change, to improve my life and health, to stop procrastinating.

So I've decided that my November will be a NEWvember, where I redesign myself from the inside out. I considered the things I don't particularly like about myself or my life, and this November, I'm going to attack them all head on. Forming a more stable sleep habit, exercising 20+ minutes each morning with varied workouts to target different muscles and intentions, cutting down on alcohol consumption while still allowing myself to have a great time... things like that.

My NEWvember goal is to lose 4 kg (9 lbs). I know I can do it on my own, we all can, but some extra motivation is always, well, motivating! :flowerforyou: Feel free to add me to your friends, and let's keep each other going, maybe even after NEWvember and into MEcember! :huh:

    I adore this idea. I have a stone exactly to lose to be at a healthy BMI (I'm currently at a BMI of 27) so this is just what I need to get going. I'm hoping to lost 3/4 pounds during November. I'm aiming at 1500 calories a day and exercise 3/4 times a week. I have a hatred for gyms so Zumba/walking/jogging are my main ways of getting exercise :)

    This Newvember thing was just a silly name I thought of, but sometimes that's all you need in order to create an image of what you want to do or be, and get things started! For me, just defining a period of time where I focus on a goal might be enough to keep me going, and hopefully form a lifelong habit.

    My goal for November is to lose 3-4 kg, but more important is feeling comfortable in my own skin, and feeling like I can stick to whatever I set my mind to. Guess we'll know how that went on Dec. 1st!

    Good luck, everyone, and let me know how your Newvember goes!
