Remember the goals I set for October? Well we are a little over half way through the month and I am sharing how I am doing on my goals. You can check out all of my October goals here.
1. Be a Fish
My original goal was to drink a glass of water before each meal, in order to keep me mindful of my hydration throughout the day. I would say I a rocking this goal for the most part. There might have been times where I missed that glass of water but my mindfulness has been right on. I have been much more consistent with my hydration and drinking a lot more water. I really want to keep this up for the rest of the month.
2. Eat Like a Rabbit
For October, I made the goal of eating a salad at least once a week. I think I still have some work to do on this goal. Being really sick for the first week and a half of the month threw my diet off quite a bit. However, I have been eating WAY more veggies. I have been adding them to my meals and making veggies my snacking choice. I have even had a few salads.
3. Stay Home
I knew this goals would be a hard one for me. I love to eat out and it can be hard to avoid when you are on the run a lot and lead a busy life like I do. So far I haven’t been doing all that great on this one (womp womp) but I am still determined to decrease the amount I eat out and want to refocus on this goal throughout the rest of the month.
4. Get Moving
My goal was to complete at least four workouts a week in October. I was really excited about this until I got hit by the cold from hell. My chest took a beating and I knew my body couldn’t handle the workouts. I am feeling much better now and am ready to get active again! I have already completed 2 good workouts this week and have appointments for at least 2 more.
5. Keep Treat Days to Saturdays
Well this is another one to refocus on. I eat what I want when I am sick, I don’t restrict myself when something might make me feel better. While I did try to eat healthy nutritious food when I was sick to give my body strength, I also ate treats when I wanted them. And then I had Thanksgiving. Well now things are back to normal and I am trying to focus on rewarding myself on Saturdays.
I am fairly happy with how things are going this month. There is always more work to do and more progress to be made. I think the biggest thing is that I keep these goals on my mind and strive towards them. Whether or not I am perfect doesn’t matter, I am trying.
