November Monthly Goal Meet-Up

First things first. I know, I know. I said I would do a special mid-month reminder for the meet-up and then I neglected it entirely. I just got caught up in other blog stuff, so I’ll save the special reminder for another month. Let’s jump into what I did do:

October Goals

1. Run! Yoga! Elliptical! Twice a week = happy life. (Um…)
2. Stick to completely realistic budget. (… not so much)
3. Develop and implement 3-month Alice PR plan. Yes!
4. Write twice weekly on Modite. Woot!
5. Throw an appetizer and wine party. Go me!

We can start with the bad news. I most certainly did not exercise this month, and might have even done less than the previous month. Ugh. But! I did lose a couple pounds, so I’m not feeling too guilty about it. And I did stick to my completely realistic budget… until the end of the month when I went on a shopping spree. Since I go on a spree every Fall and Spring, I should have planned for it, so I’ll live and learn for next time.

I’m excited that I delved right into my new responsiblities at Alice, and I’ve been updating Modite religiously. Speaking of, I’ve been reorganizing and redesigning the blog a lot, as you may have noticed, and that’s actually been a huge stress reliever for me. More on that next week. Finally, I threw a rocking party for the Brazen guys and some of my girlfriends. It was a pumpkin potluck, where everyone brought a dish that was pumpkin or Fall related, and it was delicious! The company wasn’t too shabby either. I highly recommend the idea.

So! What am I’m going to tackle for November? Here we go:

November Goals

1. Exercise as if my life depended on it. Because it does.
2. Stick to budget. Don’t overspend for the holidays!
3. Spend quality time with Ryan, friends and family. Be thankful.
4. Continue writing twice weekly for Modite.
5. Secure two to three pieces of “big” coverage for Alice.

Since I’ll be traveling a lot in November, I wanted to mostly maintain what I’ve been doing right and focus on things that matter. I’m really looking forward to the holiday season in fact. And while I didn’t accomplish all of my October goals, I’m starting to feel a lot happier lately and near the end of my “dip.”

Alrighty then. What’d you all get done in October? What will you be cranking on in November?
