November Goals 2012

November 1, 2012 | blogging, fitness, Mental Health, motivation, running

 

As I said the other day, it seems like October flew by! Which means, it’s time to look at my October goals and see how I did. Below are my October goals:

1.) PR in a half marathon. Grade: C+. Wwweeeeellll we all know what happened with that. First was the gulf coast half and then jazz. If you missed those recaps go check it out and see what happened. #fail But I came close. And I PR’ed through 9.5 miles.

2.) Actually make a craft from Pinterest. Grade A+ Done! Check this out! So excited.

3.) Read a book. Grade: A+ Done! When we went on the cruise I read an entire book, it was nice and relaxing!

4.) Vlog more. Grade: F. Hm. I didn’t vlog a single time in October. Major #fail.  Let’s try this one again.

————————————

Ok so moving on to November. Obviously, we know one….

1.) Vlog More: Let’s shoot low this time, I want to vlog at least ONE TIME in November. There.

2.) Be happy: There are some crazy things going on in my life right now that have caused me some discouragement, and I am working on being happy despite my circumstances.

3.) Secret goal. Yup. Pulling this one again. Trust me when I say I want to tell you guys SO BADLY. So let’s pray this one happens in November.

4.) Get at least half my Christmas shopping done. No waiting until the last minute. Let’s get it done before the crazies come out with their less than stellar Christmas spirit!

Gah. Are we really talking about Christmas?!? Ok, moving on. I wanted to share a couple of Hallowen pictures with you all. Bobby and I had a low key evening carving a pumpkin, watching Hocus Pocus, and handing out candy. Works for me.

Me with the stinky one, rockin’ my holter monitor on my hip. Sassy was missing in action, as usual.

Didn’t Bobby do a great job? And yes, he is holding his carving knives. Oy.

Happy Halloween!

QOTD: What did you do for Halloween?

    Christmas shopping early is a great one! Check out Amazon, and Target. They’ve already got their black friday deals up (crazy, right?) I just saved some money on a stand mixer I’ve been eying for a long time! 🙂

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. ⛸️ ❤️

It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as It’s still Thanksgiving weekend so this counts as a Thanksgiving post, right? 🦃🫶🏻

I took the day off on Thursday and then worked a ton Friday, EK had bball Saturday and then we went out of town. I realized I never posted for turkey day! 😜

I have so much to be thankful for, most days I feel completely undeserving. God has been good to us, even in the days that don’t feel so good. His plans may not make sense at the time, but thankfully He is the one that sees the whole picture, not us! 

We are going into the Christmas season with hearts full of gratitude and love as we celebrate the birth of Jesus. This is the most special and my favorite time of year! Let the celebrating continue! 

Lastly, I am thankful for all of YOU! For liking, commenting on, and watching my content over the years. Without you, my career doesn’t exist and I am beyond thankful for the opportunities this job has given me. So THANK YOU! 🫶🏻

Using the Braun IPL has completely changed my routine, it’s the at-home alternative to salon laser hair removal that gives me long-lasting results without the appointments or pain.
