This is my absolute favorite time of year, with all the holidays and snow. However, I usually put on some weight during this time of year. I am not super concerned with my weight but I really want to work on losing weight this year instead of gaining it.
Growing up I never liked this time of year but now I love it. I love the orange & red leaves, the cooler air, and everything pumpkin. And I am looking forward to so much more.
I can't wait for even cooler temps, running in those cooler temps, hot chocolate, snow, Christmas decorations, Christmas cookies, and fireplaces.
I am probably most excited about training for and running a Thanksgiving 5K. I have done a few speed sessions and have really seen some big improvement. Despite my recent trouble with my IT band I am looking forward to completely crushing my current 5K PR.
I have been a vegetarian for more than three years now but lately I have been struggling to incorporate enough fruits & veggies into my diet. I am making it my goal for this month to eat as many fruits & veggies as possible.
I want to get healthy and strong and I know that sticking to a healthy diet is maybe the most important way to do that.
What are your goals for November?
wow! that first pic is absolutely gorgeous! love it! i really love fall...its not always great being cold but just means I can stay under the covers longer in my warm sweatpants and cuddle with my pup :)
ReplyDeleteI am excited for you to crush your 5k PR as well!!!
this month i am just focused on having a good balance of me time with dissertation time. i feel pretty burnt out after working so hard core on my apps the past few weeks. ready to have more of a balance in my work and play again :)
That picture of the leaves is exactly why I love fall!! And I am also a sucker for pumpkins!
ReplyDeleteI am running my first 10k on Thanksgiving morning so one of my November goals is to train well for that and PR (haha-impossible not to pr!)
