A couple of month's ago I posted my August goals and had the goal that monthly I would evaluate where I was in comparison to those goals. I flopped. Here it is the last day of September, I never looked back to August, and I never made any September goals. So let's kindly disregard that big flop and see how I did for August. Better late than never, right?
The August goals:
- To continue to run daily...at least a mile. - CHECK!
- To do yoga every day...at least 10 minutes but I would love at least 15 minutes. - CHECK but many 10 minute days plus some days are a couple of yoga breaks combined but hey, I got it done! And still am by the way.
- To hydrate well each and every day. I will achieve this by drinking at least 48 ounces of water a day (yep, I picked six 8 oz cups of water because I want to drink that beyond my daily protein drink, which is mixed in water, and the water I drink while on the run). - CHECK but I started slipping the end of the month and don't ask me about September. Way too much coffee.
- To get at least 7 hours of sleep each night. - CHECK! once again, do not ask me about September. Major insomnia issues then.
- To do my nightly devotional and journal each night...this is harder than it may sound. - I abandoned the journal but CHECK on the nightly devotion.
- To say the rosary once a week. - Can you see me shaking my head? Nope. And even though many weeks I heard the rosary 5 days on the way to work, if my mind drifts I don't count it. I need to get stronger on this.
With that said, I can create my October goals:
- To continue to run daily...at least a mile.
- To do yoga every day...at least 10 minutes with 1-2 longer classes once a week.
- To hydrate well each and every day.
- To drink little to no alcohol. I feel better when I don't drink it but dear hubby likes to enjoy his indulgence with me. I need to say no thanks guilt free but perhaps one drink a week with him??? I am open to your input on this one.
- To do my running drills at least three times a week.
- To remain tough in my training and not weaken when faced with long run treadmill days.
- To tend to my garden and not let my little seeds wither away (this is good Mom-Daughter bonding time too)
- To not let stress or life get the best of me and to remain kind and loving in my words.
- To do my nightly devotional with darling daughter.
- To say the rosary once a week.
- And most importantly, to NOT let my birthday make me feel old.
