Fitness:

• Long-term Goal: Shape the body I want and become healthier.
• Last Week’s Goal: Keep working out and enjoying this nice weather while it lasts. Make something new to eat this week.
  • Status: Halfway! I ran/walked 3x last week, which isn’t too shabby at all. Ate pretty well until the weekend (*shrug* I’m getting there) and didn’t end up making any new recipes and not sure I will this week, either, but we’ll see!
• This Week’s Goal: Keep running despite the cold weather (3x is the goal, this week). Be forgiving if your food intake isn’t the best, especially considering this week officially begins the holiday season.

Writing:

• Long-term Goal: Edit all previously written works. Query one.
• Last Week’s Goal: Write 5x and keep up word count goal.
  • Status: Success!! Though I had two days where I didn’t meet my word count goal, I did write five times, even on the two days where I wasn’t feeling it at all. And the fact that I went from not writing at all to actually writing five days in one week, hell to the yes I’m counting this.
• This Week’s Goal: Keep up writing (3x, this week, 4x if time allows) progress and remember that this first draft is all about getting the words down, even if they’re shit.

Reading:

• Long-term Goal: Read 60 books.
• Last Week’s Goal: Finish Something Beautiful and write review.
  • Status: Success!
• This Week’s Goal: Read The Tethered Mage and write review.

Relaxation:

• Long-term Goal: Create and maintain a mindset that taking care of yourself is just as important as everything else.
• Last Week’s Goal: Enjoy the nice weather before it disappears into misery.
  • Status: Success! 
• This Week’s Goal: Enjoy Halloween and my birthday!

Blogging:

• Long-term Goal: Increase output over all three blogs, i.e., post more consistently.
• Last Week’s Goal:  Keep blogging. Update bio and layout.
  • Status: Success!
• This Week’s Goal: Write two personal blog posts and one review.

Financial:

• Long-term Goal: Manage money with more awareness, start retirement fund and build savings.
• Last Week’s Goal: Continue to stay on top of it. Create a Christmas budget.
  • Status: Success! Though it does feel like I need to get a second job if I’m going to be able to get everyone what I want to get them for Christmas.
• This Week’s Goal: Continue to stay frugal and be aware of my finances.

It started to feel like winter, this week, and my mindset isn’t really ready for that quite yet. However, not a bad week at all. And as we creep into November this week and only have two months left in the year, I’m hoping to finish strong with these resolutions!
Cheers.
