December Goals

HOLY CRAP IT'S THE END OF 2015. I'm a little late in posting this, but better late than never! Here were November's goals:

- Finish Nutrition course final by Nov 15 - YES YES YES! And I scored a 96 overall!
- Start Dyslexia Therapist course on Nov 16 - Yep! 2 of 10 modules complete
- Visit family for Thanksgiving - Nope. Family cancelled, and I had a horrible migraine (damn gluten). So we hung out at home and ate mashed potatoes.
- Get most (if not all) handmade Xmas gifts completed - Yes! I'm fairly certain all I have left is to put some of those handmade gifts in the proper containers for distribution.
- Get the Christmas Card exchange lists out to all participants - Done!
- Get Christmas cards ready to mail - Mailed! I have one more card to make, but I've been really slow because I want the wording to be PERFECT.
- Go to yoga at least once - Nope. But I did buy a groupon for another studio close to home, and I have one prepaid class at my favorite hot yoga studio. I'll be going soon.
- Reorganize closet with warm clothes up front - Yep! I didn't really have much to move forward, but it sure is easy to find clothes in my "I'm still totally asleep" phase.

I don't think I have EVER seen so many "Dones" on my personal goal list. I'm super excited. So I need to think about my goals for the rest of December. There's only 2 weeks left, so I'll make this list fairly simple.

December:
- Finish at least 2-4 more modules in my Dyslexia Therapist course
- Yoga!
- Finish wrapping all gifts
- Finish my Christmas card to a special couple
- Visit Hubs' grandmother a few hours away
- Finish at least 1 week on the McDougall Plan (details in the next blog post)
- Sit down with Hubs and get our 2016 Plan written
- Sell some unneeded stuff in the house/storage, like the extra desk and washing machine

My list for the month sounds way too easy, so maybe I'll get it done like last month!

HAVE A BLESSED YULE, MERRY CHRISTMAS, HAPPY SATURNALIA, HAPPY HANUKKAH, HAPPY KWANZAA and whatever other holidays are around this time of year. In short, HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

Exercise can be fun!

The weekend is always the best time for me to get my exercise, simply because I don't have to work. Although I love my Wii workout, that's really more for the middle of the week. I've started planning my weekends to include lots of physical activities, without the dread of actual exercise. Weight Watchers stresses that you don't use the term 'exercise', but rather 'activity'. I would agree. 'Exercise' can strike fear into the hearts of even the healthy, whereas 'activity' implies something fun. So here's what I have planned for the next few weekends as 'activity': Friday, Mar 25: Weeding My Garden Oh my goodness, the weeds have just taken over! I have 3 birdfeeders very close to the garden, so seeds get thrown in it all the time. The seeds have started growing plants, so I will be digging around tonight, pulling all of them out. Saturday, Mar 26: Fort Worth Zoo specifically for the new Museum of Living Art. Last time we ...

Vegetarian life update

I've made it through the first 3 days as a vegetarian, and I haven't missed meat at all. I know that the first few weeks are the hardest, and I'm pleased so far. I've been using quinoa and hemp seeds for proteins, and will be using nuts and beans as well. There are thousands of recipes online, and I've already tried some. I'm having to teach Hubs that it's okay for him to eat meat, and that I have no problem cooking it for him. I just don't add meat to my meal. It's surprisingly easy. We went to the grocery store on Saturday, and I walked out with no animal proteins or dairy in my bags. It was easy to ignore the meat. My PCOS group is doing an event called "Creating Goals with Soul", using Danielle LaPorte's Workbook O' Fire. Some of the girls are so excited to participate - and we could all use a little help sticking to our goals. My current health goals: - Continue my vegetarian lifestyle change - Eliminate my coffee consumpt...
