This is the first month I'm stating my goals in rpw. My goals are:

-go to at least 1 gym class on the days I don't work -join weight watchers this week -go jogging for 15 min each day on my days off

I really want to become healthy and athletic.

I completed .5/3 goals last month. Oops.

• Still need to work on adding more protein to my diet in preparation for starting weights.

• I didn't explore the gym like I wanted, but I should still be on-track come January.

• I got an epilator and my legs were super smooth... for a week. I can't tell if my leg hairs are just growing in because they're at different stages of growth and smoothness will happen again OR if it's breaking the hairs instead of pulling them out at the root like it should.

• New one for this month: It's winter break and I don't work, so I'm going to work on being the best housewife I possibly can instead.

• We also recently decided to finally get married, so we got that stuff: telling our families, choosing rings, figuring out how you actually go about getting married, etc.

• I don't know if I'll even get the chance, but I'm working on being more chill about my roommate/fiances best friend's relationship. You know when two people are obviously not right for each other and worse, at least one of them is incapable of having a healthy relationship? And they've broken up too many times to count? Partially because one of them cheated and also wants to try heroin? Yeahhh. I need to learn to STFU about that mess.

So November was a bit of a bust for me so I hope December will be kinder.

My goals for this month are:

• Get in the Christmas spirit.

• Do all those things I've been meaning to do for the past to months.

• Finish reading the 2 books I started reading this summer and kept putting it off to read other books before the new year.

I like the SMART acronym for goals. There are a few different versions, but I think the best is Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

I'd like to join! This month:

• Pantry month! I need to cook as much as possible from what I already have because I want to cut our grocery budget. Once I've cleared out old stock (probably next month) I'm going to try a new shopping strategy that I think will end up saving us around $150 a month.

• I started meditating every morning on December 1st, my goal is to continue doing so and eventually get up to 20 minutes every morning, right now I'm at about 5 minutes.

• I want to try a new workout routine, I'm interested in some of these new aqua classes popping up. I just feel like I'm in a bit of a fitness rut and I'm getting bored.

From the last November post -

1. I did put myself out there for the guy I had a crush on/was in the friend zone with and it did NOT turn out as planned at all. Which actually turned out to be a great thing.

2. I DID exceed my exercise goals!

For December my plan is to stay on top of and accountable for physically manifesting my femininity. So nails, clothing, overall appearance. Getting in the regular habit of skincare and makeup!
