 How is it already November? Since it is the 1st it is time to check in on our progress and set new goals for the month.
Remember the October goals?

My main goal for this month was to just Be. – I think I did OK on this… not great, but ok. It is so hard sometimes!!

I also wanted to work on eating cleaner. – Another OK on this one… I probably had way too many treats and cheats. Oops.

Use the DSLR more – Did awesome on TAKING the pictures, but still haven’t uploaded them… oops.

Continue #operationpantsfit – The 14s are still a little snug and I’m still in the 191-192 range.

#operationpantsfit because belts aren't in style this season \ life + running \ lifeplusrunning.com

Run at least 2-3x a week in addition to the 4-5x a week I do CrossFit.- #FAIL I didn’t run much except for my Zombie (not exactly) 5k and my few attempts at CrossFit Endurance Intervals

My CrossFit goal for the month was Power Clean 95# – DONE. and I added a jerk in there for good measure

Now lets take a look at November goals:November Goals

My main goal for the month is to practice being thankful. I’ll include a list of things I’m thankful for at the end of my posts. I’ll have (at least) one a day.

I’m going to continue working on #operationpantsfit (which runs until Thanksgiving) and hopefully lose a few pounds on the way, but I don’t want to focus on the scale… that’s been messing with my mind lately. I feel “stuck” around 191-192, I get frustrated everytime I see those numbers staring back at me.

Food wise, I’m going to start trying to practice more Mindful Eating. I usually find myself snacking mindlessly or not focusing on my food when eating and ended up eating too much. I’m going to try to zone in and really learn the feelings of Hunger and Satisfaction.

My running goal is just simply to run. I need to keep building up my base. Especially since this just happened:

Thanks Holly, Melanie, and Keyona. I’m blaming this all on you.

blogger peer pressure is the best kind, right?!

Speaking of blogger peer pressure… I’ve decided to join the #plankaday bandwagon. I need to work on core strength, and I really think it will help me with my push ups too. I did it this morning for 40 seconds. 40.5 to be exact. So I have room to improve. Like a LOT of room to improve.
My CrossFit goal is to Deadlift 200lbs. My previous PR was 155 before last week… then I did 185… and if I can do 185, SURELY I can get to 200 by the end of November… Right?
And finally… I want to finish The Happiness Project. You know, that book I started reading in September? ha.
