Somehow, it's November. Not sure how it happened, but we are three days in. Time to set some goals:
* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week
* Continue working through the "Make Room Challenge" from Make Room for What You Love
* Post in this blog as often as possible -- hopefully several times per week

* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and crafting any handmade ones
* Stay at our little camp as often as possible

* Drink enough water each day
* Plan and prepare for how and when we will celebrate Thanksgiving
* Complete a 40-day sugar fast just ahead of Thanksgiving
* Walk and/or exercise at least 4 times each week
HEALTHY HABITS FOR NOVEMBER: Drink more water/get more sleep/get more exercise/intermittent fasting/limit sugar/work on gut health
As always, many of these goals are ongoing ones and will not be finished just because October is past.
"work on gut health"...one of my constant "issues". Let me know if you have any great ideas. Yes, it is amazing that we are already in November! Another year has almost come and gone! They just seem to fly right by! I admire your goal setting and also that you DO actually fulfill some of your goals regularly. I am not very good at goal setting anymore (or keeping). But somehow we manage to get through our days and weeks and months and I look back and say, Hey! We did accomplish quite a bit even without realizing it. God is good to carry us through and complete His plans in us even when we are kind of just coasting along. Thank heavens for God's Holy Spirit at work in and through us! Have a blessed and wonderful month of Thanksgiving!!
ReplyDeleteGreat healthy goals! Well, so many good (and fun) goals for the month. I should write out monthly goals. I think it would keep me focused...and help me as I focus my heart and thoughts on gratitude. Much easier to see all that God is doing and has allowed me to do. I missed that you have a Christmas blog - what fun! Will check that out just now:) Happy Monday to you -
