November Goals

Hope everyone had a great Halloween! We handed out candy to only like 12 kids so we have tons left, which is great sucks for me because I will now proceed to eat it all. So umm is it seriously November today?? Love it!! Okay so I think October went a little bit better in terms of my goals. Let's recap:

1) Lose 10 pounds- okay didn't happen. But I didn't gain anything. I shouldn't have picked so ambitious a goal during a month with candy and pumpkin/apple themed desserts, especially with my sweet tooth!

2) Get a job- didn't happen either, but I sent out a bajillion resumes/cover letters, I've done a little bit of contract work, and now that I am a licensed attorney (!!!!) it should hopefully be easier to get a job of my dreams.

3) Purge my closet- Ding ding ding! We have a winner! Mine and Brian's closet and drawers are cleaned and organized and it feels so good! 

So I only accomplished one goal in October, let's hope November goes a little better. I am going to try to be more realistic with my goals this month. Sorry, two of them are pretty much the same as last month, because until those goals happen (especially number 2!) they will be on my to-do list:

One. Lose 5 pounds. That is a more attainable goal than 10 pounds, and I think this November I can do it, especially since Thanksgiving isn't until the end of the month. I know I know, I should have more self-control, and I want to work on that, but it is really hard to lose weight when you can only eat carb-filled blandish foods because you have stomach issues. 

Two. Get a job. This one no longer needs any explanation. 

Three. Do 4 weeks of C25K. I can do this and I will do this. I really want to run a 5K, then eventually a 10K, and no time like the present to start, right?! Except that it's freezing out but that gives me an excuse to buy cute running clothes! Let's hope my stomach cooperates!

Four. Do most of my Christmas shopping. I do this early every year and it feels so good to get it all done and out of the way before the crazy Christmas rush. The only problem is I still want to buy stuff closer to Christmas that I see when I inevitably go out shopping again, but who cares? Giving is one of the best parts of the season (see also: cookies, Christmas trees, snow, Ralphie, dogs in sweaters/reindeer antlers, Home Alone, lights, etc. etc.)! 

What are your goals for November? Linking up with Erica, Stephanie and Whitney! Have a great weekend!
