Five on Friday - November Goals

Today I’m recapping my October goals and listing my November goals.  As always, I’m using a Y for YES and N for NO to indicate whether or not I accomplished my goals. 



October Goals

Relationships/Connect/Be the Light

Y  Go to dinner with girlfriends. – Yep, went out with some of my high school besties!

                                                                                     

Personal/Health/Wellness/Fitness/Beauty

Y  Meditate, quiet time, and affirmations every day.

Y  Drink 64 oz. most days. 

Y  Close all rings on my Apple Watch 20 days.

N  Keep focusing on toning abs and arms. – I did a ton of cardio this month, and absolutely no abs and arms toning.  Whoops.

Y  Visit with my therapist.

Y  Go to my annual physical.

N  Wash makeup brushes.

N  Read 1 fiction book. – I tried, y’all.  I read 1/3 of one book, stopped.  Read 1/3 of another book, stopped.  Both were terrible.  I did start the new Nicholas Sparks book, but I didn’t read enough of it to count for this month.

 

Family/Fun

Y  Attend homecoming festivities at our school.

Y  Go to the mountains.

Y  Go to a winery.

N  Go apple picking. (Contingent upon the orchards still offering this.)Wasn’t available by the time we got to the mountains due to a late frost in the spring killing some of their crop.

N  Try a Pumpkin Cream cold brew, take two.

Y  Get a Pumpkin Pie Blizzard from Dairy Queen.

Y  Go to the pumpkin patch. We went to Pumpkins at Callaway this year and we let that be our pumpkin patch trip.

Y  Carve pumpkins.

Y  Have our annual festive Halloween dinner.

Y  Go trick-or-treating.

Y  Watch Hocus Pocus.

Y  Watch It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown.

Y  Record a video every single day of the month and upload to my One Second a Day app.

 

Home/Organization/Planning

Y  Decorate the house for Halloween.

Y  Start Christmas shopping. – Yes!  Definitely got a solid start!

N  Start listing fall clothes on Poshmark.

Y  Complete 1 thing on Master To-Do list.

 

Blog/Social Media

Y  Post 4 times per week.

Y  Photograph house and share Halloween decorations.
