November 2019 Goals

November 2019 is finally here!! Its the month of my birthday and also the month when things turn Christmassy!! The short days are here, but with it comes the cosy candlelit evenings. Anyway here is my review of October and November Goals.

October feels like it went in the blink of an eye. On with the review of October 19 goals…

Review of October 19 goals

I said I would…..

• Carry on with Noom and have another successful month of at least 1lb loss per week – Mmmm I have continued with Noom but haven’t lost 1lb a week. I have had a lot going on and it has affected my ability to really focus on my weight. I would say this is half a tick as I haven’t completely gone off the rails but also haven’t lost my target weight.
• Try for 8000 steps for 50% of October, but also building in 30 minutes exercise 3 times per week – I only managed over 8000 steps for 12 days – I did get to 7500 on quite a few other days but this was a fail. I also only managed 3 workouts for the whole month and 1 run. This one will be carried forward.
• Get another month with break-even hours – it’s quarter-end for grant claims at work so this may not be easy – actually I was a few over but did take some time back so I will take this one as done ✔
• Finish at least one book – Yay did this one, I finished The Story of Our Life by Shari Low. ✔ I am currently on 6 books for the year and I think on my Goodreads I set myself a target of 10 so I need to pick up the pace!!
• Work on my night time routine – Mmmm not done. I have set a target to be in bed for 11 o clock and I would say I have probably managed it 50% of the time. Carried forward for November!
• Try to increase my social media interactions – I have tried to do this. I have tried to increase my interactions on Twitter and Instagram stories. Sometimes it’s hard with work, but I would say its a ✔
• Try one new recipe each week – Yes I have done this ✔
• Pick a pumpkin – I say I am going to do this every year but never manage it – Yay we did this one too. The post is here if you missed it ✔
• Post at least one blog post per week (ideally 2) – I managed 5 posts but missed a week as I was late posting. This one needs to be carried forward

November 2019 Goals

As it’s my birthday month I want some fun goals as well as the usual ones!!

• Get back onto tracking with Noom. I am not setting a weight loss goal as my birthday will impact on this!
• Walking and exercise – I am aiming to walk over 5000 steps per day or a workout for each day.
• Read a new book this month
• Post on Instagram and Twitter every day (and if I can gain a few followers even better)
• Post at least one blog post per week
• Bed by 11 o’clock for 50% of the month
• Finish Christmas shopping for everyone except Eddie and the kids.
• Go out to do something fun once a week in November!
• Start meal prepping again!
• Make a start on the SEO course I have bought to help promote my blog.

It’s nearly the end of the year so let’s hope we all have a successful month for November!

Let me know what your November goals are!
