Hello November!!
Saturday morning and I'm laying here awake waiting for time to head to the gym. I normally don't post over the weekend but I had my goals on my mind so I figured there was no reason to wait until Monday!
The holiday season is officially upon us! Especially since on Halloween night, I saw a Christmas commercial AND movie! It's crazy!!
This year I'm setting myself some serious goals for November and December because I want to stay on track! I don't want to let the 'well it's the holidays, I'll get back on track after the first of the year, mentality' undo everything I've done this year. I've worked hard, I've kept myself motivated and I'm proud of myself. I figured it up and since February 12th of this year, I have only missed 14 days at the gym (not including weekends) and 5 of those were vacation days! Not to mention there have been many Saturdays that I have gone and made those days up so I feel like I can really say I haven't missed any as far as M-F goes and there were many many lunchtime and Saturday morning runs! That is something I am so proud very of. So, I don't want to undo any of that during these holidays months by letting my diet and sweet tooth get the best of me. I'm going to be diligent in sticking to my meal plans and my water intake. Unfortunately for the Hubs I will not be doing any baking this year with the exception of a couple of things for Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve/Day to take to family gatherings. The Hubs all time favorite is old fashioned chocolate fudge pie and after 24 years, I still can't make it like his MaMaw so I just buy him one for each holiday. And besides they are too rich for me! I'm hoping this will help with some of the mindless snacking through the holidays. With this and by keeping my meals prepped and in the fridge and sticking to my workout schedule, hopefully, November and December will yield different results than in the Yeats past! I'm more committed and motivated than ever before. This is #myjourney and it's a lifestyle without a doubt but I have to set myself up for #success‼️ 💯✔️
I have made great changes, developed new habits, new motivation and new goals in 2014 and I'm going to finish out strong! I am really looking forward to 2015 because I have every intention of continuing this journey and having more successful results!
November Goals:
🍁 1.5 gallons of water daily
🍁 Stick to meal plans 💯% with 1 cheat meal per week (hopefully this will help with holiday dinners)
🍁 Weekly progress pics & measurements on Saturday's ( I am horrible at this for fear of not seeing positive changes)
🍁 🚫NO ALCOHOL🚫 This will also help with mindless snacking on the weekends.
🍁 No SCALE! I will not weigh. I will use my measurements and pics to document progress. Not to mention my clothes. Normally this time of year leads to the yucky feeling of FLUFF 24/7!
So, the
Is my Oman to finish this year out strong! I would love to hear how all of you get thru the holidays while staying on track? Share your tips and tricks here, on my IG or Facebook page! If I can help any of you please feel free to reach out to me. Accountability is crucial and I know I can use all if that 'ish I can get!
Happy Saturday & Happy November!
Stephanie 😊
