October goals -- how did I do?

[pin]

At the beginning of my month, I wrote about wanting to make my health and fitness more of a priority.  I listed five goals that would help me do this.  Let's see how I did ...

Here are my five goals for October and my self-scored report card:

:: No pop.  At all.  -- A
I have not had even a sip of soda since September. (I love alliteration.)

:: Eat at home.  -- A
I stayed away from dining out and takeout except when I was with friends.

:: Twenty workouts. -- A-
I only got in 19. I looked at my calendar last week and realized I would need to work out every day for the rest of the month to make my goal, and that just wasn't happening.

:: Track on MyFitnessPal every day. -- B-
I missed about six days.  I was away from the computer, and I was out and about. By the time I remembered to track, I'd forgotten what all I'd eaten. 

:: Seventy miles. -- A+
I actually covered 97.3 miles this month. It helps that I walk approximately 1.5 miles every day during work breaks with my work BFF.  And I started training for that half-marathon.


I'm pretty proud of how well I did.  I feel like established some good habits during the month that I plan to carry on.

+++++

Time to list my health and fitness goals for November.


::  Go to bed by ten on weeknights.
Sleep is so very important for health. I need more of it.  5:30 a.m. comes pretty early.

::  Do yoga once a week.
I'm doing tons of running and I've gone back to BodyPump once a week, but my body needs more. I also need work on balance, stretching, and meditation.

:: Go low carb five days a week.
This one is going to be hard.  But as someone with PCOS, I know carbs are not always my friends.  I really need to cut back.

:: Complete the plank challenge.
A friend posted this on facebook. I really need to work on my strength (especially my arms and core), so I'm in.

:: Eat a fruit or vegetable with every meal.
This one should be the easiest of all of them. 

What are you going to do this month to take better care of yourself?
