December Goals 2013

December 2, 2013 | Advocare, blogging, fitness, health, holidays

Ah the month we all panic because we haven’t reached our New Year’s resolutions. Always makes me giggle. More on that NEXT month, but for this month I have a few small goals I would like to accomplish.

Bella and I last Thanksgiving

1.) Read 4 magazines. This sounds so silly but y’all, I have a HUGE pile of unread magazines in my bedroom, and it’s starting to get on my nerves. Must. read.

2.) Slow down and enjoy the season. Christmas is my favorite time of year, and I think a lot of us struggle with moving through it so quickly and not slowing down to enjoy it or remember the true reason we celebrate. I don’t want that to be me!

3.) Don’t go crazy with the bad food. I just finished the Advocare 24 day challenge, and despite going to Disney for a week AND celebrating Thanksgiving, I managed to lose a couple pounds and a few inches. I also have way more energy and feel better! I can’t wait to try the challenge again next year when I don’t have holiday or trip distractions. I know it’s hard during the holidays to just give in and eat anything and everything, but I am going to try to be mindful of what I eat.

4.) Send out Christmas cards by the 17th. I love sending out cards, but I can tell I will be behind this year because I haven’t even ordered them yet! I need to get moving today.

Also wanted to mention, I am hosting a CYBER MONDAY sale today with Advocare products! These products do not normally go on sale, but I am personally discounting them. ALL product is 15% off, and the challenge bundle is 20% off! If you would like to place an order, email me at heatherslookingglass@gmail.com, do NOT order from my site. However you can visit www.advowithHeather.com to see what products you want!

    I was just telling Jeff yesterday that my December goal is to bake 10 different types of Christmas cookies. I used to do this every year, but haven’t since we stopped going to NJ for Christmas. I miss my old favorites.

    I totally have a stack of magazines too! I am notorious for saving the whole magazine for one article even after reading it though .. Haha

      I thought about getting a binder with those plastic sleeves to put articles in that I tear out.

    My goal should be to nail down a plan of attack for the WDW half, but I keep putting it off. We’re starting our holiday stuff at work, including a food drive for the university food bank. Now that Thanksgiving has come and gone, I can focus on Christmas.

    My goals for the month include enjoying Christmas while sticking to both healthy eating and training for Dopey! It’ll be here so soon! You haven’t mentioned it much lately, will you still be there, too!?

      December 3, 2013 at 1:34 pm

      I’m still chugging along but haven’t been training much. oops.

        I know it is tough around the holidays!! The last 2 years I did Goofy and didn’t really stick to training, so I want to see how much better I feel this year keeping at it through Christmas. Good luck and see you there!!

    Your #2 is a great one. I hadn’t put it in quite those terms, but that’s essentially what I’m doing too. I like the way you put it, so I’m using that one is one of mine too! 🙂

Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponso Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponsored

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

❄️ Save this for your holiday trip to the Smokies, and comment the word Snow and I will send you my exclusive discount code right to your inbox!

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️

The end of the year is always a time that I reflec The end of the year is always a time that I reflect on how things went, what I want to do different or better in the new year, and to be honest…I’m always really hard on myself.😕

I often end up sad or frustrated that things didn’t “turn out as planned.” But planned according to who? Success according to what? 

As we were ice skating last weekend at Gaylord Opryland, laughing and just having so much fun as a family, I was hit with what I can only describe as a warm fuzzy. I wanted to smile and cry all at the same time. I thought to myself….this is it right here. 🥹

If nothing else good happens, I’ve got this and am so rich because of it. These moments. This is what I always prayed for as a girl when imagining my family one day. And it’s here, happening right now. I don’t want to wish it away waiting for the next big thing to happen. 

I just want to ice skate with them in a place that makes us so happy. Wha a year. ⛸️ ❤️
